Merrill Nisker (born 1966 in Toronto), better known as Peaches, is an electroclash artist whose songs are mainly focused on sexuality. She lives and works in Berlin, Germany. She plays almost all the instruments for her songs, programs her own electronic beats, and produces her records.

Peaches' music is preoccupied with gender identity. Her lyrics and live shows self-consciously blur the distinction between male and female: she appears on the cover of her second album Fatherfucker with a full beard; when asked if she had chosen the title for shock value, she commented:

"Why do we call our mothers motherfuckers? Why do we stub our toe and say "Aww motherfucker!"? What is motherfucker? ...We use it in our everyday language and it's such an insanely intense word. I'm not one to shy away from these obscene terms that we actually have in our mainstream. Motherfucker is a very mainstream word. But if we're going to use motherfucker, why don't we use fatherfucker? I'm just trying to be even."

She refutes accusations of 'penis envy', preferring the term 'hermaphrodite envy', since "there is so much male and female in us all". Nevertheless, she does not shy away from identifying herself as a sexual being, although she rejects the sanitised portrayal of women in popular music.

Although she does not hold a teaching degree, she taught at private schools before her career in music.

Fancypants Hoodlum released in 1995 was released under her birth name Merrill Nisker

Members of her band are known as The Herms - JD Samson, Radio Sloan, Samantha Maloney.

Her songs have been featured in movies such as Mean Girls, My Little Eye, Lost in Translation, Waiting, and Jackass: Number Two. Her music has also been featured on Showtime's The L Word television series. Peaches performed guest vocals on P!nk's album Try This, on the song "Oh My God". Her lyrics are discussed as part of the Queer Studies course curriculum at the University Of Toronto, and she has been invited to lecture at the Contemporary Music Academy in Berlin. Her most notorious song, "Fuck The Pain Away", is also the name of an Electro night in Brighton.

Kiss Kiss Kiss
Peaches Lyrics

Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴

I don't want another heartbreak
I don't need another turn to cry
I don't want to learn the hard way
Baby, hello, oh, no, goodbye
But you got me like a rocket
Shooting straight across the sky
It's the way you love me
It's a feeling like this

It's centrifugal motion
It's perpetual bliss
It's that pivotal moment
It's impossible
This kiss, this kiss (Unstoppable)
This kiss, this kiss
Cinderella said to Snow White
How does love get so off course
All I wanted was a white knight
With a good heart, soft touch, fast horse
Ride me off into the sunset
Baby, I'm forever yours
It's the way you love me
It's a feeling like this
It's centrifugal motion
It's perpetual bliss
It's that pivotal moment
It's unthinkable
This kiss, this kiss (Unsinkable)
This kiss, this kiss
You can kiss me in the moonlight
On the rooftop under the sky
You can kiss me with the windows open
While the rain comes pouring inside
Kiss me in sweet slow motion
Let's let every thing slide
You got me floating, you got me flying
It's the way you love me
It's a feeling like this
It's centrifugal motion
It's perpetual bliss
It's that pivotal moment
It's subliminal

This kiss, this kiss (It's Criminal)
This kiss, this kiss

Overall Meaning

The lyrics to Peaches's song Kiss Kiss Kiss touch on the theme of love and how it can be both powerful and unpredictable. The opening lines convey the fear of heartbreak, a common fear when it comes to love. The repetition in the chorus of "It's the way you love me" emphasizes the significant impact that love has on the singer, and this is further highlighted by the use of words such as "perpetual bliss" and "unthinkable". The chorus also includes the phrase "this kiss, this kiss", suggesting that it's not just about love in general, but a specific moment of intimacy between the singer and their partner.

The second verse introduces a fairytale-like element to the song with references to Cinderella and Snow White. The singer expresses their desire for a traditional romantic partner, someone who is a "white knight" with a "good heart" and a "fast horse." This idealized notion of love clashes with the reality of how love can be complicated and unpredictable.

The bridge of the song offers a more positive and romantic tone, with the singer describing different scenarios where they would like to be kissed. The use of the phrases "moonlight", "under the sky", and "sweet slow motion" adds to the romantic imagery. The final repetition of "this kiss, this kiss" ends the song on a powerful and romantic note.

Kiss me in sweet slow motion
Let's take our time and savor this moment of love

Let's let everything slide
We can forget about everything else and just focus on our love

You got me floating, you got me flying
I'm so in love and happy with you

It's subliminal
Our attraction is beyond our conscious control

This kiss, this kiss (It's Criminal)
Our love and passion is so intense that it feels like a crime
