Kiss and Tell
King Raam Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
By the symptoms of a twisted talent
You wear those high hills like a golden crown
I taste your lipstick, like a hungry clown
Just another, Just another
It's just another game of kiss and tell
Just another, Just another
Tell me stories of your secrets
Oh I can't move on to a better place.
Don't turn me into the others
I never wanted to be a movie star.
You wear those short jeans for another man
While you're begging me for another glance
You're addressing two birds with only one stone
Your hands are empty and now you're all alone
Just another, Just another
It's just another game of kiss and tell
Just another, Just another
It's just another game of kiss and
Tell me stories of your secrets
Oh I can't move on to a better place.
Don't turn me into the others
I never wanted to be a movie star.
It's Just another, It's Just another
It's just another game of kiss and tell
Just another, Just another
It's just another game of kiss and tell
In the song Kiss and Tell by King Raam, the singer describes a complicated relationship where he is addicted to the other person, while they are afflicted by their twisted talent. The addiction and affliction are most likely emotional, as the singer goes on to describe physical aspects of their interactions, such as tasting the other person's lipstick like a hungry clown. The other person seems to be playing a game of "kiss and tell," where they share secrets with the singer, but also wear short jeans for another man while begging for the singer's attention. The singer feels trapped in this cycle, unable to move on to a better place because of the allure of the other person's secrets and the fear of being turned into just another person in their game.
The lyrics suggest a power dynamic between the two people in the relationship, with the other person seemingly in control and the singer yearning for their attention and validation. The image of the other person wearing high heels like a golden crown and addressing two birds with only one stone imply a level of sophistication and manipulation that the singer cannot compete with. The reference to not wanting to be a movie star suggests a desire to maintain authenticity and individuality, possibly in contrast to the other person's game-playing and emotional complexity.
