Devotion
Kitten Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
16, speaking to me like an angel
Should I tell him something to make my motives clear because I want you
Release me freely
If you can't feel the heat of my devotion
Do you remember the way you looked at me last night
I would never tell you how this love still breaks my heart
Should I leave my number
Something to remember me
And if I′m not your lover
Then tell me what this really means
Should I leave my number
Am I the one that suffers
Is this love or just an opportunity?
Black tie
But now you know the party's over
And so it's goodnight
And everybody goes their separate ways
But can I tell you something
I′ll whisper in your ear
Because I want you
Release me, freely and you can feel the heat of my devotion
So say it with feeling if not with love
I′ll suffer the night until morning comes
Is this love or just an opportunity?
Should I leave my number
Something to remember me
And if I'm not your lover
Then tell me what this really means
Should I leave my number
Am I the one that suffers
Is this love or just an opportunity?
Should I leave my number
Am I the one that suffers
Is this what we do to each other?
Am I different from the others?
Is this love or just an opportunity?
In "Devotion," Kitten sings about her desire for someone who is seemingly unattainable. She starts off by acknowledging that her attraction to this person is taboo, but cannot help that they drive her crazy. She is 16 and feels like this person is an angel speaking to her. She wonders if she should be more upfront about her intentions to make it clear that she wants them. She wants to be released freely by them but also acknowledges that they may not feel the heat of her devotion. Kitten reminisces about the way this person looked at her the night before and how she wishes she could hold them in her arms.
Despite her desire for this person, she also acknowledges the reality of the situation. The party is over, and everyone is going their separate ways. Kitten wonders what this all means for them. She asks if she should leave her number, and if she's the only one suffering in this situation. She questions whether what they have is love or just an opportunity. Kitten continues to struggle with her emotions, wondering if she's different from others, and if this is love or just a fleeting chance.
The lyrics in this song are relatable to anyone who has experienced unrequited love or has found themselves attracted to someone who is unattainable. It shows the vulnerability one can feel when expressing their emotions and the uncertainty that comes with it. The lyrics cover themes of love, unrequited love, and the struggle to understand one's emotions.

It's taboo, but you know you really drive me crazy
I have feelings for you that may be socially unacceptable, but I cannot help the way you make me feel
16, speaking to me like an angel
Your youthful innocence and kindness make me feel like I am talking to an angel

I am contemplating whether to confess my feelings to you to make my intentions clear, because I desire you
Release me freely
I want you to let me go if you do not share the same feelings as I do, without any hard feelings
If you can't feel the heat of my devotion
If you cannot sense my passionate love and dedication towards you
Do you remember the way you looked at me last night
I am reminiscing about the way you looked at me with affection the previous night
If I ever could hold you in my arms
If I had the opportunity to embrace you physically
I would never tell you how this love still breaks my heart
I would never reveal to you the extent of my pain and heartbreak caused by my unrequited love for you
Black tie
The formal attire worn to an event or party
But now you know the party's over
The event or party has come to an end and everyone is going their separate ways
And so it's goodnight
It is time to say farewell and end the evening
And everybody goes their separate ways
Everyone departs and returns to their respective lives
But can I tell you something
May I share something with you
I'll whisper in your ear
I will speak softly and discreetly to you
So say it with feeling if not with love
Express yourself passionately, even if you do not have romantic feelings for me
I'll suffer the night until morning comes
I will endure the long, lonely night without you until the break of dawn
Is this love or just an opportunity?
I am questioning whether my feelings stem from genuine love or simply an opportunity for romantic involvement
Should I leave my number
Am I supposed to leave my contact information for you to reach out to me?
Something to remember me
Should I leave something with you to remind you of me or our encounter?
And if I'm not your lover
And if you do not reciprocate my romantic feelings
Then tell me what this really means
Please clarify what our relationship really is
Am I the one that suffers
Is it only me who is experiencing heartache and pain
Is this what we do to each other?
Is this the way we treat each other in relationships?
Am I different from the others?
Am I unique or special in the way I feel or am I just like everyone else?
