Hours
FKA twigs Lyrics

Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴

I could kiss you for hours
Who'd have thought
I'd be in your mouth
Loud and clear

Harder
Do you feel it with me?
Harder

How am I certain to fit
All of your needs
Master of all of your needs

I could kiss you for hours
And not miss a thing
Read my lips now
I could kiss you for hours
The feeling you bring
So deep in now
I could kiss you for hours

How would you like it if my lips touched yours
And they stayed close baby 'til the stars fade out
How would you like it if I sip before I bite
But it wasn't too hard so it felt alright
How would you like it if I held you in my arms
Round of your bed be a substitute for

Harder
Do you feel it with me?
Harder
How am I certain to fit
All of your needs
Master of all of your needs

I could kiss you for hours
And not miss a thing
Read my lips now
I could kiss you for hours
The feeling you bring
So deep in now
I could kiss you for hours

Driving heaven under the ground
The sweetest thing a girl like me has found
(I could kiss you for hours)
Flying in a higher world of your own
A long lost boy aside a man that's grown

I could kiss you for hours
And not miss a thing
Read my lips now
I could kiss you for hours
The feeling you bring
So deep in now
I could kiss you for hours

I could kiss you for hours

Overall Meaning

The lyrics of FKA twigs's song "Hours" are both sensual and romantic in nature. The singer expresses her devotion to her partner and her desire to kiss them for hours without missing a thing. She also emphasizes her willingness to fulfill all of their needs and be their master. The chorus is repeated twice, and the second verse portrays the singer asking her partner how they would like to be kissed, held, and loved.

The lyrics contain a mix of metaphors and literal statements that can be interpreted in different ways. For example, "I'd be in your mouth" could refer to kissing, but it could also symbolize intimacy and closeness. Similarly, "Master of all of your needs" could suggest a BDSM dynamic, but it could also be read as a statement of care and attention.

The chorus's repetition reinforces the idea of the singer's desire to be close to her partner, and the verses build on that feeling by describing different ways in which she wants to express her love. The song's overall tone is both tender and intense, and the ambiguity in the lyrics allows for multiple interpretations.
