First Love
Kitsune Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Can we lay in bed one final time?
I’ll do what you want instead, for your wasted time
I had dreams of being wed. But hey, that’s fine
I’d rather lay in bed, with you, one final time
The sun sets on the last ray of hope I had
If you’re hearing this darlin'. Please, don’t be mad
This is just the type I shit I write when I’m sad
You know better than most like a roast gone bad
You’re a ghost and I’m haunted, glad
Overdosed and undaunted, mad
Chasin' after you, I’m exhausted, tad
Hopeful even though I’m unwanted, rad
Can we lay in bed one final time?
I’ll do what you want instead, for your wasted time
I had dreams of being wed. But hey, that’s fine
I’d rather lay in bed one final time
Can we lay in bed one final time?
I’ll do what you want instead, for your wasted time
I had dreams of being wed. But hey, that’s fine
I’d rather lay in bed one final time
Can we lay in bed?
I hear your voice from images
I feel your touch from sound
Neglected all of my privileges while you just weren’t around
When the evening finishes I hope you hear this sound




And think of the time I loved you
In the sky’s fire we drowned

Overall Meaning

The lyrics of Kitsune's song "First Love" express a deep sense of longing and melancholy as the singer reflects on a past love that seems to be coming to an end. The repeated plea to "lay in bed one final time" signifies a desire to hold onto a fleeting moment of intimacy and connection before letting go. The offer to do whatever the other person wants in exchange for their time highlights a sense of regret and a willingness to make amends for any perceived shortcomings.


The mention of dreams of being wed juxtaposed with the resignation that it's fine indicates a sense of acceptance and moving on from unfulfilled aspirations. The imagery of the sun setting on hope symbolizes the fading possibility of reconciliation, with the singer acknowledging the finality of the situation. The raw, vulnerable nature of the lyrics suggests a cathartic release of emotions, with the singer admitting to using writing as a coping mechanism for sadness.


The references to being haunted and ghost-like, juxtaposed with feelings of being overdosed yet undaunted, capture the emotional turmoil and conflicting emotions that often accompany the end of a relationship. The exhaustion and hopelessness conveyed in chasing after someone who may no longer be present emotionally or physically underscore the singer's desperation and longing for closure. The juxtaposition of feeling unwanted yet hopeful adds a layer of complexity to the emotional landscape of the song, highlighting the internal conflict between acceptance and yearning.


The final stanzas of the song reflect a sense of distance and separation, with the singer acknowledging the absence of their love interest and the impact it has had on their life. The imagery of hearing the other person's voice through images and feeling their touch through sound conveys a sense of longing and a bittersweet nostalgia for times gone by. The mention of neglecting privileges while the other person was absent hints at a sense of regret and missed opportunities, with the singer hoping that their love will be remembered even as they both move on. The reference to drowning in the sky's fire evokes a powerful image of intense emotion and the overwhelming nature of love and loss.
