kiss kiss
♥ Yeah Yeah Yeahs Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Green hours
Blue rope
Hot wax for hearts are cold
We're three we're three in the dark tonight
And baby my snake is a shark tonight

He's got youth on the side
He's got small purple eyes
Now he's as straight as a bow
When there's nobody home

Everywhere kiss me
Everywhere kids speak
No catch no beat
Everywhere kiss me
Everywhere kiss me

Everywhere kiss me
Everywhere kids meet
No catch no beat
Everywhere kiss
Everywhere kiss kiss me

I may like doing (?) high
I drop my music loud outside
I drank until the water's dry
It's all okay till someone dies
I shoot my name up every vain
You can't get hurt, you can't complain
No feet, no hands, no tale, no lies
He's got youth on his side

Everywhere kiss me
Everywhere kids speak
No catch no beat
Everywhere kiss me
Everywhere kiss me

Everywhere kiss me
Everywhere kids meet
No catch no beat
Everywhere kiss
Everywhere kiss kiss me





We're three, we're three, we're three, we're three
We're three, we're three in the dark tonight and baby my snake is a shark tonight

It's unclear who this person is, but they seem to be a source of attraction and mystery. The chorus repeatedly urges someone to "kiss me" and says there is "no catch, no beat," which suggests a desire for a carefree and spontaneous physical connection.


The next verses describe the singer's reckless and wild behavior, such as getting high, drinking until there's no water left, and shooting their own name into their veins. It seems as though the singer is living in the moment and doesn't care about the consequences. The chorus repeats, this time with the addition of "Everywhere kids meet," which could refer to a party or gathering where the singer is seeking out physical connections. The song ends with the repetition of "We're three, we're three" and "baby my snake is a shark tonight," cementing the theme of power and sexuality.

@Z A lol basic music my ass, what do you understand about music anyways?

@positiveman4605

this isn't really true, you can play music at pretty much any bpm and still get people feeling the same way

@@positiveman4605 that's BS. You might enjoy dancing to the rhythm of hardstyle as much as you do reggae, but they feel entirely different.
