Sixth Sense
Kiss Kiss Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Oh touch! An embrace of the senses
A blasting of the nerves
How absurd for human beings now
To be in charge of
Smell links to thoughts more directly
Than any other sense
My two cents say you remember
What your EX smells like

And oh, I don't know
I don't know
Which of a million ways to go
I don't know what is right
I'm trying to be nice
But dreamer's fare
It seems too fair
I'm sharing as much as I can share
My sixth sense says I'm right

Oh drifter, your home's inconsequential
Now where's your common sense?
Make a dent
Share yourself and your intuition
I didn't know that you were holding on
Was I supposed to know
It was on the bed
On the sheets right where I forgot it

And oh, I don't know
I don't know
Which of a million ways to go
I don't know what is right
I'm trying to be nice
But dreamer's fare




It seems too fair
I'm sharing as much as I can share
My sixth sense says I'm right

I spent better days with your soul
I spent better days with your soul
I spent better days with your soul
I spent better days with your soul

Overall Meaning

In the song "Sixth Sense," Kiss Kiss explores the idea of intuition and how our senses are interconnected. The lyrics suggest that humans have become too reliant on their sense of sight, and that we should instead focus on our other senses, such as touch and smell, to gain a deeper understanding of the world around us. The line "Smell links to thoughts more directly than any other sense" illustrates the idea that smells have the power to trigger memories and emotions more immediately than any other sense.


The chorus of the song, "Oh, I don't know, I don't know, which of a million ways to go, I don't know what is right, I'm trying to be nice," suggests a feeling of uncertainty and confusion that many people experience when faced with big decisions. Despite this uncertainty, the singer's "sixth sense" tells them that they are on the right path.


Later in the song, the lyrics shift to address an individual referred to as a "drifter" who lacks common sense and intuition. The singer encourages this person to share themselves with the world, and it becomes apparent that they are referring to a lost love interest. The repetition of the line "I spent better days with your soul" emphasizes the emotional connection the singer shares with this person.


Overall, "Sixth Sense" is a complex song that explores themes of intuition, memory, and human connection. The lyrics encourage listeners to trust their instincts and embrace their other senses to gain a deeper understanding of themselves and the world around them.
