David Bowie - Lady Grinning Soul Meaning

Lady Grinning Soul Lyrics
Skin sweet with musky odour
The lady from another grinning soul
Cologne she'll wear. Silver and Americard
She'll drive a beetle car
And beat you down at cool Canasta
And when the clothes...
-
A "succubus?" A demon (the "lady" from "another grinning soul"...the devil?) who needs love, takes it, but cannot give love back, "consuming" her lover's soul in the process (she will be your "living end")...
-
Its about a girl who has been hurt, shes setting a subconscious trap for men, doesnt even realise herself what she does, and thinks she doesn't care and cannot love
. She needs love but cant give herself to anyone anymore. Shes become selfish and self focused and wants adoration but cannot let go emotionally. She wants you to want her
to consume you, needing you to need her. but is at odds with herself.
