Kiss Me Slowly
Airiel Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
I never would imagine
your lips could be so red
a cherry colored heave
you taste it all the time
it's like that when you're over
you're perfect smile, it shines
you promise you'll sleep over
I need to feel you breathing
and shudder like you should
like I do when you tease me
my candy coated lover
I'll kiss you over and over
just close your eyes and dream me
until you get to see me
lying in your bed
you still pretend you're sleeping
my body feels like lead
when you reach out to feel me
your finger tips will shock me
these covers cannot hide me
you reach me, pull me over
and kiss me over and over
and it's love
The lyrics to Airiel's song "Kiss Me Slowly" describe the intense passion between two lovers. The opening line "stumble in my head" could be interpreted as the singer feeling disoriented and overwhelmed by their feelings for their partner. They express disbelief that something as simple as their partner's cherry-red lips could have such a powerful effect on them. The line "a cherry colored heave" is particularly poetic and suggests that just looking at their partner's face is overwhelming to the singer.
The singer mentions that they taste their partner all the time, likely both physically and mentally. They can't get enough of their lover and are impressed by their perfect smile. The promise of their partner sleeping over is something to look forward to, as the singer wants to feel their partner's presence and hear their breathing. The telephone is not enough for the singer; they need to feel their partner by their side.
The chorus describes the intensity of their passion, with the singer calling their partner their "candy coated lover" and promising to kiss them over and over. The singer encourages their partner to close their eyes and picture them until they can see each other again. In the second verse, the singer is lying in bed with their partner but pretending to sleep. They feel heavy but still responsive to their partner's touch. When their partner reaches out to touch them, they feel a shock from their fingertips. The covers can't hide the singer as their partner pulls them close for another round of kissing. The final line of the song is "and it's love," solidifying the deep affection the singer has for their partner.

stumble in my head
Confused thoughts cloud my mind
I never would imagine
I never thought this could be possible
your lips could be so red
The vivid red color of your lips surprises me
a cherry colored heave
Your lips look like a bright cherry
you taste it all the time
I constantly savor the taste of your lips
it's like that when you're over
The feeling lingers even when you are not around
you're perfect smile, it shines
You have an impeccable smile that radiates happiness
you promise you'll sleep over
You assure me that you will spend the night with me
telephone's no good
Talking on the phone is not enough
I need to feel you breathing
I want to experience your presence beside me
and shudder like you should
I want to feel your shivers like you do when I tease you
my candy coated lover
You are my sweet and charming lover
I'll kiss you over and over
I want to kiss you repeatedly
just close your eyes and dream me
Visualize and imagine me in your dreams
until you get to see me
Until we can be together again
lying in your bed
Resting comfortably in your embrace
you still pretend you're sleeping
You pretend to be asleep, but I know you are awake
my body feels like lead
I feel heavy and lethargic
when you reach out to feel me
When you touch me with your hand
your finger tips will shock me
Your touch will send shivers down my spine
these covers cannot hide me
Even under the blankets, I am still affected by your touch
you reach me, pull me over
You hold me close and bring me closer to you
and kiss me over and over
We share multiple kisses
and it's love
Our connection is based on love
