SWEET
Cigarettes After Sex Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
The one where you're showering with wet hair dripping
You know that I'm obsessed with your body
But it's the way you smile that does it for me
It's so sweet, knowing that you love me
Though we don't need to say it to each other, sweet
Knowing that I love you, and running my fingers through your hair
It's so sweet
Watching the video where you're lying
In your red lingerie ten times nightly
You know I think your skin's the perfect color
But it's always your eyes that pull me under
It's so sweet, knowing that you love me
Though we don't need to say it to each other, sweet
Knowing that I love you, and running my fingers through your hair
It's so sweet
And I will gladly break it
I will gladly break my heart for you
And I will gladly break it
I will gladly break my heart for you
And I will gladly break it
I will gladly break my heart for you
And I will gladly break it
I will gladly break my heart for you
It's so sweet, knowing that you love me
Though we don't need to say it to each other, sweet
Knowing that I love you, and running my fingers through your hair
It's so sweet
The lyrics to Cigarettes After Sex's "Sweet" express the singer's infatuation with his lover, who he watches in a video where she is showering or lying in red lingerie. He is drawn to her physical appearance, but it is ultimately her smile and her eyes that captivate him. The chorus repeats the phrase "It's so sweet" and emphasizes the unspoken understanding between the two of them, that they love each other without needing to say it out loud. The repetition of "I will gladly break my heart for you" suggests that the singer is willing to sacrifice his emotional well-being for the sake of the relationship, a bittersweet sentiment that reflects the intensity of his feelings.
The song's intimate lyrics are complemented by the dreamy instrumentation and hazy vocal style characteristic of Cigarettes After Sex's signature sound. The sparse, slow-paced guitar chords, combined with the distant echo of a backing choir, create an atmosphere of longing and nostalgia. The use of repetition also enhances this feeling, conveying a sense of timelessness and a desire to relive certain moments over and over again.
Overall, "Sweet" is a song about the joys and pains of being in love, highlighting the complexities of human emotion and the power of physical and emotional connection. It is a reflection on the parts of a relationship that are hard to put into words, and a celebration of the unspoken understanding between two people who share an intense bond.

Watching the video that you sent me
Observing the recording you forwarded to me
The one where you're showering with wet hair dripping
That particular video where water was falling over your head and hair
You know that I'm obsessed with your body
You're aware of my infatuation towards your physical demeanor
But it's the way you smile that does it for me
However, your grin has a more profound impact on me
It's so sweet, knowing that you love me
It's delightful realizing that you harbor feelings for me
Though we don't need to say it to each other, sweet

Knowing that I love you, and running my fingers through your hair
Realizing that I'm passionately in love with you and passing my fingers through your locks of hair
Watching the video where you're lying
Observing the recording where you're reclining
In your red lingerie ten times nightly
Sporting your red undergarments frequently in the recording
You know I think your skin's the perfect color
You're aware of my opinion on your flawless complexion
But it's always your eyes that pull me under
However, your eyes always manage to captivate me entirely
And I will gladly break it
I'm willing to bear the emotional consequences

I'll risk heartbreak if it means having you by my side
It's so sweet, knowing that you love me
It's heartwarming realizing that you care deeply about me

ان كنتِ تعلمين بأن يدي ستملأ العالمَ حُزن الفراقِ بالكلماتِ ، لم رحلتِ ؟ أم انا من أصريتُ على رحيلي
أم كان يجب أن يرحل احدُنا
إن نظرتِ لي قبلَ لأرى الكونَ بعيناكِ
إن ناظرتِني الآن أرى عتابَ جهنَم بعيناكِ
كل حُلو بدونُكِ مُر و كُلَ مرُ معكِ حُلو
يا حُلوةَ يا شمسَ سماءَ تسطعُ دفئٍَ
في الشتاءَ يا شتاءَ صيفٍ جاف
يا وردَ ربيعٍ قاحِل
أحِنِ

Lyrics:
Watching the video that you sent me
The one where you’re showering with wet hair dripping
You know that I’m obsessed with your body,
But it’s the way you smile that does it for me
It’s so sweet knowing that you love me
Though we don’t need to say it to each other,
Sweet knowing that I love you & running my fingers through your hair
It’s so sweet
Watching the video where you’re lying in your red lingerie ten times nightly
You know I think your skin’s the perfect color,
But it’s always your eyes that pull me under
& I would gladly break it
I would gladly break my heart for you

To my lover,
Youre a stranger i dont even know your name
But the way you smiled when this first snow fell
Made me wonder if id seen you somewhere
Cause i know way before ive seen that familiar glare
And you raise your head to see the moon on this December night
While looking up i look at you, youre like a sun among other stars
I wished for nothing on this Christmas Eve cause i could barely believe
That somehow a wish would be ticked off in the way it did
You make me feel like im in a dream
Where impossibles come true
I guess quantum entaglement is proved right now right here
When you looked at me and i looked at you
