In his childhood years, he didn't listen to music like regular people to such divergent influences like Whitesnake and Earth, Wind & Fire, he began playing piano and drums at an early age. Upon moving to Stockholm, he was dropped out of school and retreated into his studio to adopt a hermit’s lifestyle for nearly a year and a half, producing 24/7 and sharing his musical output with no one.
What emerged was a demo that caught the attention of Kaaze’s idol Tiësto and changed everything for him in the span of a season. The two met for the first time in Stockholm two weeks later, and Kaaze accompanied the Dutch superstar to his gig at Summerburst Festival. The Swedish producer began sending daily demos to his newfound musical mentor, solidifying a melodic progressive sound that draws upon his 80s disco and glam rock roots. Following a summer full of musical exchange, Kaaze received the formal offer to sign with Tiësto’s Red Light Management group and embarked on an eye-opening tour of New York and Tiësto’s Hakkasan residency in Las Vegas.
Poison Lips
Kaaze Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Spinning a web of broken dreams
Coming to play out a chilling scene
Like shadows on the wall, dark shadows
Oh when I lay my head down to sleep
I pray the Lord my soul to keep
Somewhere in the middle of the night it seems
You always come round when the lights go out
Oh I miss you when you're not there
Didn′t know I could feel like this
That I would crave the taste of poison lips
Reoccurring nightmares
But I miss you when you're not there
You fucked up, crazy ass bitch
For making me crave the poison on your lips
The poison on your lips
(Poison)
For making me crave the poison on your lips
When I lay my head down to sleep
I pray the Lord my soul to keep
Somewhere in the middle of the night it seems
You always come round when the lights go out
You're my reoccurring nightmare
Oh I miss you when you′re not there
Didn′t know I could feel like this
That I would crave the taste of poison lips
Reoccurring nightmares
But I miss you when you're not there
You fucked up, crazy ass bitch
For making me crave the poison on your lips
The poison on your lips
(Poison)
For making me crave the poison on your lips
"Poison Lips" by Kaaze is a song about a toxic relationship that feels like a recurring nightmare. The bright-lipped fantasy represents the illusion of an ideal and perfect relationship, which is then shattered by the other person who spins a web of broken dreams. The singer finds himself longing for the person who he perceives to be toxic because he craves the "poison on her lips." However, he also acknowledges that this person is "crazy" and has messed him up, leading him to pray every night to keep his soul intact.
The lyrics of the song paint a vivid picture of a tumultuous and tumultuous relationship, where the singer is caught in a cycle of longing, pain, and regret. The recurring nightmares remind him that even when he's not with this person, she's still haunting him. He's confused about his feelings and desires, unable to resist the pull of the poison that's slowly killing him.
Overall, "Poison Lips" is a cautionary tale about the dangers of toxic relationships and the allure of something that's ultimately harmful. It's a reflection of how even when we know something is bad for us, we can't help but crave it.
