Can We Kiss Forever
Adriana Proenza Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

I tried to reach you, I can't hide
How strong's the feeling when we dive
I crossed the ocean of my mind
My wounds are healing with the salt
All my senses intensified
Whenever you and I, we dive
I crossed the ocean of my mind
But in the end I drown
You push me down, down

All the shame
When you called my name




I felt pain
When you came

Overall Meaning

The lyrics to Adriana Proenza's "Can We Kiss Forever?" are about the intense feeling of being in love and the pain that can come with it when things don't work out. The singer expresses their desire to connect with this person they love, as they can't hide their feelings when they are together. The image of crossing the ocean of their mind represents the journey they've taken to find this love, and the wounds that have healed with the salt of the sea. However, despite their attempts to stay afloat, they end up drowning because the person they love is pushing them down.


The lyrics then shift to the aftermath of this experience as the singer feels shame and pain after the person they love called their name. The conflicting emotions of desire and pain are woven throughout this song, creating a visceral experience of love and loss. The use of ocean imagery works well to convey these deep emotions as the ocean can be both vast and life-sustaining or tumultuous and deadly, much like the emotions of love.
