The Man Who Stole A Leopard From the album All You Need Is Now by Duran Duran Intro:   - - - Do you know where we are I’m longing for the dark of our nocturnal life It begins and ends with you Don’t spill my secret CHORUS You were once running wild hiding in the morning mist Game demands I make you mine I thought that I could resist but the leopard in you silently preyed on me - - - I made my way back home (Did you follow her?) I handled her with care (Were you in control?) So elegant and sleek (Were you not afraid?) I need her to be near. (Does she belong to you?) Don’t spill my secret. CHORUS (Repeat Above) - - - Deserted by my friends. (Don’t they understand?) She’s so much more than them. (How could they compare?) So now she’s just for me. (No one else can see.) I watch her while she sleeps (Be sure she dreams of you.) Don’t spill my secret. - - -   - - -     : | (repeat) (It’s been quite a while.) Since we were lost outside. (And do you miss the chase?) Now that we’ve both been tamed. (Inside this gilded cage.) Prisoners of our thoughts (You saved me from myself.) Don’t spill my secret. - - -

À propos de la chanson

La chanson raconte l'histoire d'une personne fascinée par une autre, comparée à un léopard. Cette attraction est décrite comme une sorte de chasse, plein de mystère et de secrets, où l'on ressent une tension entre désir et possession. Le narrateur évoque le besoin de garder cette connexion intime sans que le monde extérieur ne s'en mêle, tout en faisant face à des doutes sur la confiance et l'appartenance. Le contexte se situe dans une atmosphère nocturne, où la complicité et l'isolement d'un amour secret prennent le pas sur les amitiés et les attentes sociales. On y retrouve une lutte intérieure entre l'instinct sauvage et le besoin d'être apprivoisé, soulignant la complexité des relations humaines.
