Kiss Me When I Cry
Nelson Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Gave you my soul, I was at your command
You had control,
How, I don't understand but it's over now
Trusted your promises, believed your lies
How you tortured me slowly with your cheap alibis
I can finally let go now that I know what you're all about
So I'll always be glad you'd forget to forgive
When you leave
Make the aftertaste of love
Turned to hate bittersweet memories
I'm begging you please
[Chorus:]
Just kiss me when I cry
A taste of pretty poison to remember you by
Say you love me, then tell me good-bye
Shoot me through the heart
And then kiss me when I cry
You bled me dry with your vicious demands
To steal my soul was a part of your plans
Your only happiness is breaking a man,
But it's over now
Use sex extortion and insatiable greed
How you'd stand there laughing after cutting me deep
You nearly killed me, never fulfilled me,
That's what you're all about
Since my pain is your pleasure
Take me down one last time
In your typical style you could kill me then smile
Hit me with a parting shot, leave me behind
[Chorus]
Salt and cyanide just don't mix
The tears will dry but remember this
I'll never make the same damn mistake
So come, seal your fate with one fatal kiss
[Chorus]
The lyrics to Nelson's song "Kiss Me When I Cry" express a sense of betrayal and hurt caused by someone who had control and power over the singer's emotions and life. The opening lines "You had me right in the palm of your hand/Gave you my soul, I was at your command/You had control,/How, I don't understand but it's over now" convey the feeling of being helpless and under somebody's control.
The lyrics then move to the trust that the singer had on this person, who then proceeded to deceive and manipulate them. The lines "Trusted your promises, believed your lies/How you tortured me slowly with your cheap alibis/I can finally let go now that I know what you're all about" show the pain and hurt caused by the deceitful actions of the person they trusted.
The chorus "Just kiss me when I cry/A taste of pretty poison to remember you by" portrays the idea of experiencing both love and hate for the same person. The pain caused by the person is compared with a 'pretty poison' that one wants to remember. The lines following the chorus depict the realization of the singer that they were being used and the feeling of being 'bled dry with vicious demands.'
Overall, the lyrics express the singer's catharsis and release from the control of an abusive person, but at the same time, they can't let go of the emotional attachment they had with that person, and the chorus portrays this inner conflict.
