I don't really understand it. Can somebody explain it to me in a uh non graphic way? I've only seen the movie and its not in it and i started to watch the 2003 version and got freaked out and skipped it. So yeah i don't understand it. Wikipedia does not explain it enough.

LOL! It can be an awkward song, I guess. I don't think 당신 want me to go through it lyric 의해 lyric, so basically...

앤젤 and Collins, Maureen and Joanne, and Roger and Mimi are all trying to have sex. The couples are all alone in different places, experiencing various problems as they go through the motions of foreplay. Inevitably, they become frustrated with mood-killing missteps, including condoms ("Rubber 불, 화재 latex rubber latex bummer").

The turn in the song is at "fire" and "burning" (right before the line quoted above). 불, 화재 and burning are seen as symbols of passion, spontaneity, sex but also STDs, so it's an interesting turning point. Basically, it's a song about dissatisfying and disappointing sex.

In the play, 앤젤 actually dies in this song. Collins' and Angel's mood-ruining moment probably occurred when 앤젤 became delirius. At the end of the song, Maureen and Joanne and Mimi and Roger both break up, saying "It's over!" furiously to each other.

The last person to say "It's over" in the song is Collins, who says it not in anger, like the others, but in grief, as 앤젤 has died.

To be able to add to the othr person whose answered this question, it also has to do with Angel's death. Because really, when Wilson gets his solo, he's 노래 "Take me!" and "Today me, tomorrow you!" Take me means 2 things: take me as in make 사랑 to me, and take me as in 'Take me God, I'm ready to leave'. And Today me, tomorrow 당신 means 'today I'm going to die, and then you'll follow'
In the end, all the couples get angry at each other, and that's why Mimi, Roger, Joanne, and Maureen say 'it's over' to one another. Then finally, when Collins whispers, "it's over", it means that 앤젤 has finally passed
I'm not quite sure what the beginning has to do with anything
Hoped I helped :)

This is based on the 1998 version. I think the first bit with the dancers is about the spread of aids as there is loads of sex and drgs going around with little protection.

The Maureen/Joanne, Mimi/Roger is that they are covering their issues with each other with sex but because they are not connecting in the right way (by talking to each other) and so finally the sex becomes unappealing, so that's why they all say it's over
