Jun 06 - Use of subjective after imperative plus 'que'

$

I was reading the lyrics of Juana Molina's song 'Cúrame' which consists mainly of imperatives followed by que followed by a subjunctive, for example (the beginning):

*Háblame que no te oiga

Quiéreme que yo no sepa

Cuídame que no lo vea

No me mires, no me escuches haz de cuenta que no existo*

I am guessing the subjunctive indicates purpose, so that the above could be crudely translated as:

Speak to me so that I don't hear you

Love me so that I do not know

Take care of me so that I do not see it

Don't look at me, don't listen to me, realize that I don't exist

Is my guess correct?

Thanks in advance for any help with this.
