Like a Virgin

About Like a Virgin

"Like a Virgin" is a metaphor for someone finding a new love and the feeling of being refreshed and reborn in that love. The song speaks of being lost in the wilderness until finding someone, which is metaphorical for being lost in life before finding love. The lyrics tell the story of the singer being broken and incomplete, feeling sad and blue, until finding love that makes her feel "shiny and new". The chorus speaks of her feeling "like a virgin" .
