Razorblade Kiss
Him/Him & Her Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
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
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
The song "Razorblade Kiss" by Him/Him & Her touches on the theme of forbidden love, and the pain and danger that comes with it. The opening lyrics set the tone, describing the taste of death in every kiss, suggesting that the love between the two partners is poisonous and deadly. The use of sundown as a metaphor for the fleeting nature of their love further emphasizes this point, suggesting that every moment they spend together is one step closer to the end. The scent of their end is also described, perhaps implying that there is a sense of premonition or foreboding between the two characters.
Despite the poison and danger, the song also has a hint of addiction and yearning as the singer describes being drunk on their partner's tears. The chorus describes their love as a razor blade kiss, evoking images of pain and blood, but also sweetness and pleasure. The lyrics suggest that their love is a dangerous addiction that they cannot resist, even though it may ultimately destroy them.
The last verse reveals a desire for freedom and an end to the waiting and uncertainty, but also a willingness to feel and to love despite the danger. The repeated refrain of "Cause you are the one" suggests that despite the pain and danger, the love between the two partners is strong and undeniable.
