LOL! It can be an awkward song, I guess. I don't think anda want me to go through it lyric sejak lyric, so basically...
Angel and Collins, Maureen and Joanne, and Roger and Mimi are all trying to have sex. The couples are all alone in different places, experiencing various problems as they go through the motions of foreplay. Inevitably, they become frustrated with mood-killing missteps, including condoms ("Rubber api, kebakaran latex rubber latex bummer").
The turn in the song is at "fire" and "burning" (right before the line quoted above). api, kebakaran and burning are seen as symbols of passion, spontaneity, sex but also STDs, so it's an interesting turning point. Basically, it's a song about dissatisfying and disappointing sex.
In the play, Angel actually dies in this song. Collins' and Angel's mood-ruining moment probably occurred when Angel became delirius. At the end of the song, Maureen and Joanne and Mimi and Roger both break up, saying "It's over!" furiously to each other.
The last person to say "It's over" in the song is Collins, who says it not in anger, like the others, but in grief, as Angel has died.
