Kick It
Peaches Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Baby, don't split those hot pants
I got these moves that we can do to and sing
I don't look too good in pink
I use to slash myself up
I like to play it tough
Cuts, bruises, blood oozes, bones breaking rough
You gotta handle that stuff
Yeah, yeah, tear it up, rip it up, kick it up
Yeah, yeah, tear it up, rip it up, kick it up
Yeah, yeah, kick it, kick it, kick it
I want to be your cat
Screw that
I'm not sixteen but I got leather boots and suede
Ah, go fuck your pain away
I heard you like kinky shit
That just depends who I'm with
What is it S&M or some kind of toy?
Like you said Search And Destroy
Some people don't like my crotch
Because it's got fuzzy spots
But if you play Moses, you'll meet burning bush, baby
And that is just what I've got
Yeah, yeah, tear it up, rip it up, kick it up
Yeah, yeah, tear it up, rip it up, kick it up
Yeah, yeah, tear it up, rip it up, kick it up
Yeah, yeah, kick it, kick it, kick it
And if you lay there with sin
Escape the city I'm in
Come on and knock'em where its rocking non-stop
Make your way to Berlin
In Peaches's song Kick It, the lyrics are full of sexual innuendos and bold statements about sexuality and gender roles. In the first verse, Peaches asks someone how to do a cool dance and tells them not to split their hot pants. She then confesses that she doesn't look good in pink and talks about how she used to self-harm but now likes to play it tough. The chorus urges the listener to tear it up, rip it up and kick it, with a powerful beat accompanying the lyrics.
The second verse sees Peaches asserting her independence by saying she doesn't want to be anyone's cat and telling them to go fuck their pain away. When asked about whether she enjoys kinky sex, Peaches responds that it depends on who she's with and what they're into. She also references the song Search And Destroy by Iggy Pop and The Stooges, suggesting that she's into chaotic and wild sexual encounters. The final lines of the verse address criticism of her pubic hair, stating that if someone searches like Moses, they'll find a burning bush (i.e. something special and unique).
In the chorus, Peaches repeats the phrase "tear it up, rip it up, kick it up", emphasizing her rebellious and intense attitude towards life. The final lines encourage the listener to escape a city and make their way to Berlin, a city known for its wild nightlife and LGBTQ+ community.
Overall, Kick It is an empowering and boundary-pushing song that challenges traditional ideas about gender, sexuality, and self-expression. Peaches is known for her provocative lyrics and energetic performances, and this song is a great example of her unique style.
