tenderness
Big Kitty Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

i like kissing after midnight and walking through the leaves on the trees-
i like talking to the homos and the vacant and the thank you and please, tenderness

but its hard to get together when the streets are so wide and its harder to love
when its easy to hide.
so when the leaves fall, let your clothes fall, and give all that you get to,
tenderness




Overall Meaning

In Big Kitty's song Tenderness, the lyrics highlight the desire for connection and affection. The first verse talks about enjoying the simple things in life such as walking and kissing after midnight while taking in the beauty of nature. The second part of the verse highlights the importance of being kind and considerate to others, no matter who they are or what their background is. The chorus, "tenderness," acts as a call to action or reminder to be gentle and compassionate towards oneself and others.


The second verse touches on the challenges of finding connection and love in a world where people can easily hide behind technology and social media. The mention of wide streets can be interpreted as a metaphor for the vast distances between people and the difficulty of bridging those gaps. The line "let your clothes fall" could be seen as a symbol for letting down one's guard and being vulnerable with another person. The chorus once again reminds us of the importance of tenderness in all aspects of life.


Overall, the song encourages listeners to seek out genuine connections and to prioritize kindness and compassion. It acknowledges the challenges of doing so in modern society but ultimately emphasizes the beauty and importance of tenderness.


Line by Line Meaning

i like kissing after midnight and walking through the leaves on the trees-
I enjoy being intimate with someone at the wee hours of the night, and going for a walk amongst the foliage of trees.


i like talking to the homos and the vacant and the thank you and please, tenderness
I take pleasure in conversing with individuals of different backgrounds, including those who are homosexual, empty-minded, or courteous - all of which embody the essence of tenderness.


but its hard to get together when the streets are so wide and its harder to love when its easy to hide.
However, it becomes increasingly difficult to unite with someone when the paths we must travel are far apart, and it becomes even more challenging to love someone when it's simpler to avoid or conceal our emotions.


so when the leaves fall, let your clothes fall, and give all that you get to, tenderness
As the leaves of trees shed, be willing to remove your outer layers and become vulnerable with me, and give wholeheartedly to the concept of tenderness.
