Sesame Syrup
Cigarettes After Sex Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
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
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 lyrics of "Sesame Syrup" by Cigarettes After Sex is a reflection of an intimate moment between two people characterized by drug use and sexual desire. 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.

Staring at your Kate Moss shower curtain
Looking at your shower curtain with the image of Kate Moss on it
Lying on the bathroom floor naked
Being naked and laying on the bathroom floor
Hiding coke inside all your orange Pixy Stix
Keeping cocaine in your orange Pixy Stix
You take a rail and spread it on your tit
Snorting cocaine by placing it on your breast
You've had a long list of lovers
You have been romantically involved with many people
But none of them matter to you except me
However, nobody else is as important to you as I am
I've had a long list of lovers
I too have been romantically involved with many people
But none of them matter to me except you
However, nobody else is as important to me as you are

Reference to a phrase or concept heard a long time ago
I heard it a long time ago
I remember hearing that phrase or concept a while back
There's a small black notebook that you keep
You have a personal notebook that is small and black
Hidden underneath your bed
It is hidden under your bed
I've seen before
I had noticed it previously
It says every dirty thing that you did with every single boy
It details all of the sexual activities you had with each boy you were involved with
And we fall asleep to the scent
We drift off to slumber while enjoying the fragrance
Sleep to the scent of long stemmed roses
We are especially fond of the aroma of long-stemmed roses while sleeping
Always dreaming of sex
Our dreams are filled with sexual themes
Dreaming of sex on the ceiling
We imagine having sex while being on the ceiling
