Kiss
Allan Rayman Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
And it feels like a suicide yesterday
And tonight it's the same old thing
And here comes the sunlight, morning after
I been tossing, turning for her
She got moonlight and something northern
That makes me warmer and warmer, warmer
And even when I'm here with you, I'm gone with me
And I've been hearing all the talk, but you don't speak
And not today and not to me, oh no
And I've been drinking seven days of every week
And even when I'm clear with you, I'm drunk with me
And I've been holding conversations when you speak
But I don't listen, not today, oh no
Well, yes, I am selfish
Well, I switched the blade
Well, I treat my love in such awful ways
Well, yes, I am selfish
Well, I switched the blade
Well, I treat my love in such awful ways
I'm taking off
Watch me slipping away, goodbye
Follow me down, down, down
I'm taking off
Watch me slipping away, goodbye
Follow me down, down, down
Oh-oh, oh, oh
In Allan Rayman's song, "Kiss," the lyrics reveal a complicated and tumultuous relationship. The singer explains that they feel like everyday is a suicide, and even though the morning comes, nothing has changed. The person he is singing to has something that makes him feel warm, maybe care or love, but the next stanza shows that the singer is not fully present. Even when he is with her, he is somewhere else, either gone mentally or with alcohol. The singer acknowledges that he is selfish and treats his love in an awful way, but doesn't seem to make amends for his behavior. He ends the song with declaring his departure and leaving without explanation.
The lyrics convey a relationship that lacks communication and love, with the singer acknowledging his flaws but not taking any steps to fix them. It shows the complexity of a relationship where both parties are at fault and the difficulties in trying to navigate the situation. The chorus speaks to the singer's feelings of slipping away and the inevitability of his departure. It's a melancholic and honest portrayal of a relationship that has run its course.
