Caramel
Scarlet Pleasure Lyrics

Classic girl
A woman with traditional beauty and fashion sense

A silhouette passing through the doorway
A vague outline of a person walking through a door

Shoulder pads, hand-stitched rubies in the ears
The woman is wearing fashionable clothes and jewelry

Yeah I'm so far gone, can you smell the opium?
The artist is under the influence of opium and asking if it's noticeable

I'm in this poppy flopping dream, at the end or in between
The artist is in a dream-like state, unsure if it's reality or not

See you swimming by the ropes
The woman is moving gracefully, as if swimming

Drifting from a ghost
The woman appears to be disconnected from her surroundings

See the fire in your eyes
The woman has intense eyes that are captivating

Makes me know I'm paralyzed
The artist is entranced by the woman and unable to move

And all those nervous smiles
The woman's smiles seem nervous or unsure

Menthol cigarettes
The singer is smoking a menthol cigarette

Just puffin', and laughing
The artist is casually smoking and enjoying their time with the woman

Until the sunset baby
The singer plans to spend time with the woman until the end of the day

Give me all your love before you go
The singer is asking the woman to show them affection before she leaves

And if you're more than you would know
The singer feels like there's more to the woman than meets the eye

'Cause you're the caramel
The woman is sweet and addictive like caramel

You're my sugar cane
The woman is the source of the artist's happiness

Floating in my veins, uuuh
The singer feels like the woman is a part of them

At this cheap hotel, Hammond Ryes on the shelf
The singer is at a low-end hotel and sees a specific type of whiskey on the shelf

Getting big, until my good brain
The artist is getting drunk and their thinking is becoming impaired

Simple pleasures like champagne
The artist is enjoying basic luxuries like drinking champagne

Underneath your skin
The woman's inner qualities are attractive to the artist

Sirens took me in
The singer experienced something intense that left them feeling hypnotized

Got me trippin' baby girl
The artist is overwhelmed by their feelings for the woman

I just wanna taste your pearl
The singer desires to experience the woman in a highly intimate way

Know those nervous smiles
The woman's nervous smiles are mentioned again

Menthol cigarettes
The singer is still smoking menthol cigarettes

Just puffin', and laughing
The artist is still enjoying their time with the woman

Until the sunset baby
The artist still plans to spend the whole day with her

Give me all your love before you go
The singer is again asking for affection before the woman leaves

And if you're more than you would know
This line is repeated in the song

'Cause you're the caramel
This line is repeated in the song

You're my sugar cane
This line is repeated in the song

You're the caramel
This line is repeated in the song

Floating in my veins, uuuuh
This line is repeated in the song

You know I'm faded, yeah I'm gone
The artist is more intoxicated as time passes

This is heavy with illusions baby
The night with the woman feels surreal

And if we die
The singer is acknowledging the possibility of dying

Take you away from all the senseless pain
If they die, the singer hopes to take the woman away from a life of meaningless suffering

Tonight I die
The artist is accepting the possibility of dying with the woman

Yeeeah for you, for you
The artist is willing to die for the woman

'Cause you're the caramel
This line is repeated in the song

You're the senseless pain
The woman has caused pain to the singer, but they still love her

You're the caramel
This line is repeated in the song

Floating in my veins
This line is repeated in the song
