CUFFED
Nick Hakim Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
All I can recall is you restin' naked every time
You handcuffed yourself to your mother's bed that one night
You left the front door unlocked waiting for me to arrive home
I learned all about lust
Dominatrix, always thinking about myself
I used to wonder what I'd do without you
It's been years now and they saw my vices without shame
It's a beautiful world
The hips and levers tie me up in your room
I am grateful I found a lover, a queen
That shines right through the gloom
It's a beautiful world
The hips and levers tied me up in your room
She taught me to make love
With patience
Not just thinkin' about myself, oh
You really feel the other person
Oh my lover
What will I do without you?
And I wonder
What I'd do without you
Wouldn't have taught me love
lays in front of me every morning
It's been years since you came around to these parts of my mind
All I can recall is you restin' naked every time
You handcuffed to yourself to your mother's bed that one night
You left the front door unlocked waiting for me to arrive
The lyrics of Nick Hakim's song CUFFED convey lingering memories of a past lover intertwined with self-discovery and growth. The opening lines paint a vivid picture of a sexual encounter that has left a lasting impression on the singer's mind. The memory of their nakedness is the only thing that remains of the person as they are physically absent from the singer's life. The line "You handcuffed yourself to your mother's bed that one night" suggests an element of bondage and fetish that the singer may have explored with the lover. Moreover, leaving the front door unlocked for the singer indicates a sense of longing and anticipation for their arrival.
The next lines reflect the personal growth that the singer has undergone since then. He has learned about "lust" and "Dominatrix" which may suggest a more exploratory sexual phase that he went through while trying to define his desires. But now he is grateful to have found a lover who shines through the gloom and has taught him about love and patience. The final lines reflect the nostalgia and the longing for the past lover but at the same time the realization that the current lover is laying the foundation of love every morning.
Overall, the lyrics of the song portray a bittersweet journey of discovering oneself through sexual experiences and personal growth. The memories of the past are still relevant, but the new love has brought light into the darkness.

It's been years since you came around these parts of my mind
All I can recall is you restin' naked every time
You handcuffed yourself to your mother's bed that one night
You left the front door unlocked waiting for me to arrive home
[Chorus 1]
I learned all about lust
Dominatrix, always thinking about myself
I used to wonder what I'd do without you

It's been years now and you embrace all my vices without shame
It's a beautiful world
The hips and levers tie me up in your room
I am grateful I found a lover, a queen
That shines right through the gloom

The woman that taught me love
Lays in front of me every morning

Green Twins reminds me of when D'Angelo came out with Voodoo.
Nothing quite prepared me for loving every track and each week wrestling with myself because I'm rediscovering a new favourite track. Well done man! Great music & your live performances are on FIRE too! Keep it up. What would it take to bring you to South Africa?

WE NEED HIM TO COME TO SOUTH AFRICA
