He is also acknowledging his own weakness for her underage allure. Slipping into her velvet (young soft) "glove" would mean both of them would forever be "jaded" by that act of weakness, and would have to live with that "taboo" for the rest of their lives. It's got nothing to do with "an iron fist in a velvet glove". The "velvet glove" used here is definitely a euphemism for a vagina (.hers). We'll slip into the velvet glove.and be jaded." And maybe take a ride to the other side we're thinkin' of. "In all it's misery it will always be what I love and hated.
She is flirting or coming onto him, and he is acknowledging that it's bad, or taboo, and warning her that she is headed down a wrong and dangerous path. "You think that's where it's at but is that where it's supposed to be? You're gettin' it all over me. And it was just "yesterday" that she was still just a baby or a kid to him but now she has matured into a lovely young girl. She's young but grew up fast and is probably someone he sees very often. "Hey j-j-jaded, you got your mama's style but you're yesterday's child to me" Also, the video has nothing to do with the actual lyrics, other than presenting a beautiful and very young girl (Mila Kunis) as it's principle subject. It's definitely NOT about one of Steven's own daughters. I thought the lyrics were pretty clear the first time I heard them (before the video ever came out) as well as after the 100th listening. Specifically, the daughter of a female acquaintance.
This song is 100% about an older man (Steven) being tormented and conflicted about having taboo sex with a minor. They're quite funny actually.And nearly all of them are wrong. OK, so I've been laughing at some of the crazy interpretations of this song. So, for example, if someone is "jaded" about "the Hollywood lifestyle" it generally would mean they feel negativity towards it and are no longer interested in it and don't have the same false illusions about it as they once did. Sure, they might be "tired or worn out" from it too, but that isn't the emphasis of the word. General CommentNote: When someone is described as being "jaded" it is almost always referring to them being cynical about something that they have previously experienced.
