Abel is definitely not a man of commitment, and once business is done and his needs are met, he likes having solitude. However tonight he feels like having more fun–a threesome. Two chicks is better than one, right?
Threesome, trying to have a threesome

This opening also serves to parallel the sampled poem, as Abel isn’t feeling the desire for loneliness this time around.

Jhene slips into soldier lingo, continuing the prisoner of love/war metaphor.
“Hold you position” is a common saying among leaders of a combat team, meaning “stay where you are and don’t go anywhere else”.
Loading up ammunition is a metaphor for preparing as she’s shooting for his heart.
Her objective is to get him, but she has enemies, (other girls), that may want him too. Yet, she refuses to lose in the war of love.

Watching tomorrow with one eye
While keeping the other on yesterday
If only I could peacefully sleep
In the cradle of your love, again
As mentioned before, Spike is only to beget the past images of Julia, and her believed betrayal.
The idea is that he continues to live on while at the same time living in the past. Spike also has two eyes: natural left one and a surgical right one (he lost in past events).

Spike is constantly haunted by flashbacks of her throughout the anime because they truly loved on another.
