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
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
The song "Kick It" by Peaches is a high-energy, dance-punk anthem that celebrates individuality and self-expression with an edgy, rebellious tone. In the opening lines, Peaches addresses a dance partner and asks how to do a cool dance, while warning them not to split her hot pants. She then boasts about her moves and singing ability, while acknowledging that pink isn't her color. The second verse takes a darker turn as Peaches reveals her past struggles with self-harm and her attraction to rough play, declaring that her partner must be able to handle it. The chorus is a repeated call to tear it up, rip it up, and kick it up, urging listeners to let go of their inhibitions and enjoy the moment.
As the song continues, Peaches becomes more explicit and provocative in her lyrics. She declares that she wants to be her partner's "cat" but then quickly corrects herself and asserts that she is not sixteen anymore, although she still has the attitude and fashion sense of a rebellious teenager. She also seems to enjoy exploring different levels of kink and BDSM with her partners, depending on their preferences. Finally, she acknowledges that some people may not like her pubic hair because it has "fuzzy spots," but she jokes that if her partner plays the role of Moses and seeks the burning bush, he will find what he's looking for.
Overall, "Kick It" is a celebration of the freedom to express oneself in whatever way feels true and authentic, without fear or shame. Peaches' lyrics are bold and provocative, but also empowering and uplifting in their celebration of individuality and self-acceptance.
