How old are you now anyway? explane how the guy feels duped and conned into being seduced buy this beautiful young girl.I think that after his sexual encounter with her, he see's the situation with greater clarity and realizes what has really happened. You got a reaction, didn't you?" This is pointing toward some provocative action of a young girl.(may she was dressed to entice or spoke in a provocative way.we don't know for sure and this is really incidental). The song begins as a reflection upon something bad or regretful that has already happened with "You got a reaction. This establishes the whole "temptation" thing. He then spoke the same words, ?Get thee behind me, Satan,? to Peter. Jesus saw Peter as a tempter, trying to talk him out of doing what he was put on Earth to do. He told his disciples that he would have to be killed and then raised from the dead, and Peter objected that this should not happen. Second, Jesus spoke these words on another occasion. This is a clear rebuke of evil and temptation. This has two significant biblical references and was the reply that Jesus made when Satan offered him all the kingdoms of the world if Jesus would worship him. The song is full of references to temptation and makes a Biblical reference in the line "get behind me" as in "get behind me Satan" (the album title also). Here's my take: First off: The song is about the temptation of a man by a young woman. I'm not saying its wrong, that's the beauty of music, it has different meaning to us all.I think Jack's way to clever to go down that path anyway.
