SWEET
Cigarettes After Sex Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
The one where you're showering with wet hair dripping
You know that I'm obsessed with your body
But it's the way you smile that does it for me
It's so sweet, knowing that you love me
Though we don't need to say it to each other, sweet
Knowing that I love you, and running my fingers through your hair
Watching the video where you're lying
In your red lingerie ten times nightly
You know I think your skin's the perfect color
But it's always your eyes that pull me under
It's so sweet, knowing that you love me
Though we don't need to say it to each other, sweet
Knowing that I love you, and running my fingers through your hair
It's so sweet
And I will gladly break it
I will gladly break my heart for you
And I will gladly break it
I will gladly break my heart for you
And I will gladly break it
I will gladly break my heart for you
And I will gladly break it
I will gladly break my heart for you
It's so sweet, knowing that you love me
Though we don't need to say it to each other, sweet
Knowing that I love you, and running my fingers through your hair
It's so sweet
The lyrics to Cigarettes After Sex's "Sweet" express the singer's infatuation with his lover, who he watches in a video where she is showering or lying in red lingerie. He is drawn to her physical appearance, but it is ultimately her smile and her eyes that captivate him. The chorus repeats the phrase "It's so sweet" and emphasizes the unspoken understanding between the two of them, that they love each other without needing to say it out loud. The repetition of "I will gladly break my heart for you" suggests that the singer is willing to sacrifice his emotional well-being for the sake of the relationship, a bittersweet sentiment that reflects the intensity of his feelings.
The song's intimate lyrics are complemented by the dreamy instrumentation and hazy vocal style characteristic of Cigarettes After Sex's signature sound. The sparse, slow-paced guitar chords, combined with the distant echo of a backing choir, create an atmosphere of longing and nostalgia. The use of repetition also enhances this feeling, conveying a sense of timelessness and a desire to relive certain moments over and over again.
Overall, "Sweet" is a song about the joys and pains of being in love, highlighting the complexities of human emotion and the power of physical and emotional connection. It is a reflection on the parts of a relationship that are hard to put into words, and a celebration of the unspoken understanding between two people who share an intense bond.

@JIanna Chen I believe I went through something like this as well.
I know you don't have to but this message is for you
I think you should the following things
First Find a friend or a person who is kind to you and cares about you, somebody new or old
Try spending time with them and try messaging them and hanging out and fill your mind with it
Second you should also force yourself to disengage from this person you love just for a day or two or even a week
THEN ask yourself why you want them in your life
even when they do bare minimum for you even when they are only being polite
why are you doing this to yourself
ask questions to yourself
Ask yourself is this all in your head
Third find a hobby I read too many books
Fourth get a new dream and built your life around it
Please Note: please don't take losing yourself lightly. Loving yourself is the best thing
You deserve to be loved to be cherished to be given time to be treated like a precious thing
Help someone if you have a big heart
even if the person you love is a good person he is of no use to you if he does not give you anything
True love is when you are good to each other True love is staying by each others side
If it was true love you wont feel anxious and uncertain and dread each moment if it will end.
You are better off being alone and spending time with people who take time to make you feel comfortable and cared for.
good luck.
