Domino Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
I talk, you say I'm talking back
It escalades to full attack
I'm going, you're coming
Your brain's on pause
But your mouth keeps running
What macho ego trip you on
I'm giving, you're taking
You think I'm there, but I'm really just faking
Oh, you're so the same cliche
And it makes me wanna run the other way
I'm trading your old dirty shirt
For high heels and a mini skirt
You're over, I'm under
I'll spell it out it's making me wonder
Why am I still with you
When I know that it'll never work
Why don't I just hit you
When you act like just some stupid jerk
You know that I love you
But you get on my last every nerve
Oh man I guess you'll never understand
Oh, you're so the same cliche
And it makes me wanna run the other way
I tried to tune you in and not to turn you on
If you don't try to make a change, I'll be good as gone
(Maybe I should kiss a girl, whoa-oh, whoa-oh)
Maybe I should kiss a girl
Maybe I should change my world
You already know you make me sick
And this could be the cure
Girls know how to make it fun
And you know how to mess it up
Maybe you should learn to watch your tongue
'Cause boy I've had enough
Maybe I should kiss a girl
The lyrics to Domino's song "Kiss a Girl" reflect the frustration and disillusionment of the singer in her relationship with her partner. The song starts with a confrontational tone as the singer states that her partner talks too much and doesn't listen. She feels attacked by him, and it seems like arguing is the norm in their relationship. The singer goes on to describe her partner as a "macho ego trip" and feels like he is not reciprocating in the relationship. She mentions that she is trying to fake it and be there for him but it's getting harder every day.
As the song progresses, the singer appears to be growing tired of this dynamic and declares that she is ready to leave. She mentions that she's replacing his dirty shirt with a mini skirt and high heels and says that "you're over, I'm under." It seems like she has had enough of being subordinate and being the only one who is putting in the effort to keep the relationship going. The singer questions why she is still putting up with her partner when she knows it won't work out, and she wants to hit him. However, she also states that she loves him, which makes it all the more confusing.
Towards the end of the song, the singer proposes that maybe she should embrace a new perspective and "kiss a girl." She believes that this change might be the solution to her problems and finally make things fun again. The chorus repeats twice, adding emphasis to the idea that the singer is ready for a change and maybe it's time to embrace a new path.
Overall, the song is about growing exhaustion with an unfulfilling relationship and the desire for a new adventure. It's about recognizing the need for a change and taking action to make it happen.
Line by Line Meaning
I talk, you say I'm talking back
I am trying to communicate with you, but you accuse me of being confrontational
It escalades to full attack
Our conversations quickly turn into arguments
I'm going, you're coming
You seem to follow my lead, but do not have any input
Your brain's on pause
You are not actively participating and contribute nothing to our discussions
But your mouth keeps running
You talk a lot, but have nothing of value to say
Don't know what planet you are from
I cannot understand your point of view or actions
What macho ego trip you on
Your actions and words seem to be driven by a desire to assert your dominance
I'm giving, you're taking
I am putting in more effort in the relationship than you are
You think I'm there, but I'm really just faking
You believe everything is fine, but I am pretending to keep the peace
Oh, you're so the same cliche
You are predictable and adhere to typical gender stereotypes
And it makes me wanna run the other way
Your behavior is unappealing and makes me want to avoid you
I'm trading your old dirty shirt
I am leaving behind something of yours that reminds me of the old version of you
For high heels and a mini skirt
I am embracing my femininity and moving on from your masculinity
You're over, I'm under
You had the upper hand in the relationship, but now I am in control
I'll spell it out it's making me wonder
I am being direct and honest with you, which is making me question why I am still with you
Why am I still with you
I am questioning my decision to stay in this relationship
When I know that it'll never work
I know that the relationship is not going to be successful
Why don't I just hit you
I am feeling frustrated and angry towards you
When you act like just some stupid jerk
Your behavior is that of an idiot and it is aggravating me
You know that I love you
Despite everything, I still have feelings for you
But you get on my last every nerve
Your actions irritate me to the point of frustration
I tried to tune you in and not to turn you on
I attempted to communicate with you without becoming emotionally invested
If you don't try to make a change, I'll be good as gone
If you do not improve our relationship, I will leave
Maybe I should kiss a girl
Perhaps I should explore a relationship with someone who understands me better
Maybe I should change my world
I need to make changes in my life to be happy
You already know you make me sick
Your behavior is repulsive and makes me ill
And this could be the cure
Ending the toxic relationship could be the solution
Girls know how to make it fun
Women understand how to have a good time and enjoy life
And you know how to mess it up
You are capable of ruining even the smallest moments of joy
Maybe you should learn to watch your tongue
Perhaps you should be more thoughtful about the things you say
'Cause boy I've had enough
I have reached my limit and cannot take any more of your behavior

The people who produced Skye's version didn't know Skye was going to use it on her album so they gave the song to Domino. Domino hadn't heard of Skye until after both songs were released.
rorolilred
Yes she did. She posted a video message explaining the situation. Skye gets full writing credit and royalties for the song.
rorolilred
She didn't rip off Skye, the producers of Skye's song didn't know Skye was going to use it on Sound Soldier and they gave the song to Domino, it was an accident.
rorolilred
Yeah but their voices are different.
