Razorblade Kiss
HIM Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

I taste death in every kiss we share
Every sundown seems to be the last we have
Your breath on my skin has the scent of our end
I'm drunk on your tears, Baby, can't you see it's hurting
Every time we touch we get closer to heaven
And at every sunrise our sins are forgiven
Uh uh
You on my skin this must be the end
The only way you can love me ist to hurt me again
And again

Your love is a razor blade kiss
Sweetest is the taste from your lips
Your love is a razor blade kiss
Sweetest is the taste from your lips
Oh the taste from your lips, my Darling
Taste from your lips, oh my Love

Only inside I'm free
I'm tired of waiting
You've got to let me dream
Inside Baby
I'm not afraid to feel
I want your to love me
Cause you are the one
Cause you are the one
Cause you are the one

Your love is a razor blade kiss
Sweetest is the taste from your lips
Your love is a razor blade kiss
Sweetest is the taste from your lips
Your love is a razor blade kiss
Sweetest is the taste from your lips
Your love is a razor blade kiss
Sweetest is the taste from your lips

Overall Meaning

In the first verse, the singer talks about feeling the cold, impending embrace of death every time he shares a kiss with his lover, while every sunset feels like it could be their last. He describes the scent of his lover's breath on his skin as being the smell of their inevitable end, yet he cannot help but feel intoxicated by her tears, which only serve to hurt him. Despite the pain they inflict on each other, every touch brings them closer to heaven, and with each sunrise, their sins are washed away.


In the chorus, the singer likens his lover's love to a razor blade kiss, sweet to the taste but dangerous and sharp. His lover's kiss is both irresistible and deadly, and he cannot help but be drawn to it despite the pain it causes. He repeats the refrain "sweetest is the taste from your lips" several times, showing just how addictive this love is. In the bridge, the singer longs to escape the constraints of his relationship and be free to dream, but he knows that he cannot live without his lover's love, even though it hurts him.
