Sesame Syrup
Cigarettes After Sex Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Staring at your Kate Moss shower curtain
Lying on the bathroom floor naked
Hiding coke inside all your orange Pixy Stix
You take a rail and spread it on your tit

You've had a long list of lovers
But none of them matter to you except me
I've had a long list of lovers
But none of them matter to me except you

Sesame syrup
I heard it a long time ago
Sesame syrup
I heard it a long time ago

There's a small black notebook that you keep
Hidden underneath your bed
I've seen before
It says every dirty thing that you did with every single boy
You've ever been with

You've had a long list of lovers
But none of them matter to you except me
I've had a long list of lovers
But none of them matter to me except you

Sesame syrup
I heard it a long time ago
Sesame syrup
I heard it a long time ago

And we fall asleep to the scent
Sleep to the scent of long stemmed roses
Always dreaming of sex
Dreaming of sex on the ceiling
And we fall asleep to the scent
Sleep to the scent of long stemmed roses
Always dreaming of sex
Dreaming of sex on the ceiling

Sesame syrup
I heard it a long time ago




Sesame syrup
I heard it a long time ago

The song revolves around the experience of being high on coke and sharing intimate moments with someone who matters to you. This is represented in lines such as "Hiding coke inside all your orange Pixy Stix, You take a rail and spread it on your tit" which describes the use of drugs during sex.


The reference to Kate Moss shower curtain establishes the singer's place in contemporary time, and depicts a casual, almost typical setting for intimacy. The mention of a small black notebook hidden underneath the bed alludes to past, and the chance of finding something unexpected or meaningful. The song, overall, exudes a sense of rawness and honesty, as the lovers share their deepest secrets and desires with each other.


The recurring mention of "Sesame Syrup," which is the name of a type of cough syrup often used recreationally, heightens the theme of drug use and the sense of consuming something which leads to a lapse of judgment. The song presents these vices in a non-judgmental way, highlighting the importance of being honest and authentic with our partners.

Lyrics
Staring at your Kate Moss shower curtain
Lying on the bathroom floor naked
Hiding coke inside all your orange Pixy Stix
You take a rail & spread it on your tit

You’ve had a long list of lovers
But none of them matter to you except me
I’ve had a long list of lovers
But none of them matter to me except you

Sesame syrup
I heard it a long time ago
Sesame syrup
I heard it a long time ago

There’s a small black notebook that you keep hidden underneath your bed
I’ve seen before
It says every dirty thing that you did with every single boy
You’ve ever been with

You’ve had a long list of lovers
But none of them matter to you except me
I’ve had a long list of lovers
But none of them matter to me except you

Sesame syrup
I heard it a long time ago
Sesame syrup
I heard it a long time ago

And we fall asleep to the scent
Sleep to the scent of long stemmed roses
Always dreaming of sex
Dreaming of sex on the ceiling
And we fall asleep to the scent
Sleep to the scent of long stemmed roses
Always dreaming of sex
Dreaming of sex on the ceiling

Sesame syrup
I heard it a long time ago
Sesame syrup
I heard it a long time ago
