George Michael – Precious Box

Mar 19, 2015

+ 4

Meaning

This is a song about social media and the digital world we live in. It's also a reflection about how isolated it makes us. The "precious box" is a monitor (TV or computer screen) where the narrator gets his entire life. It's also a commentary on the shallowness of celebrity but how people who see it, want it at all costs.

Explanation

I know you think that you're safe
Sister
Harmless affection that keeps things this way
It's the ones who persist for the sake of a kiss
Who will pay

He's passing on advice here that she's going to get hurt, because he has been hurt falling for people he can't have.

Explanation

You can call it love but I don't think it's true
You should know by now
I'm not the boy for you
You're not to blame
Always ends the same

Now, George is addressing a woman in love with him, where he's now in the position that the other man was in earlier. He's not into her, and he's telling her it's not her fault.

Explanation

It's the ones who resist that we most want to kiss
Wouldn't you say

A classic observation that George has made about this kind of relationship. Gay men often want men they can't have (i.e. straight men).

Harmless deception
That keeps love at bay

Explanation

When your heart's in someone else's hands
Monkey see and monkey do
Their wish is your command
You're not to blame
Everyone's the same

George feels helpless about falling in love with someone and blames himself. He doesn't fault the guy for having no interest in him.

This song is the result of a complicated relationship George experienced. He was in love with a man who didn't love him back, and a woman was in love with George (who didn't love her back). The first verse is him speaking to the man, and the second verse is him speaking to the woman.
