Xcess
Slick Idiot Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Kiss Away My Fear !!

Can't Sleep, Get No Relief,
I Really Miss All The Things That I Need.
I Feel Inside Out,
Do You Know What I Was Dreaming About ?
Of Kids And Kings,
Of Thieves And Prince,
Of Knockers And Pimps,
Of Kicks And Kisses.

Kiss Away My Fear Tonight,
You Stole My Soul, Rock Me All Over,
I'm Awake And Up All Night,
Yes, I Want You To Want Me All Over !!
And Over !!
Yes, I Want You All Over !!

Come Close, Closer To Me,
The Hardest Thing And The Highest Degree.
I Really Feel Upside Down,
I Know You'll Bring Me Back To The Ground.
With Shifts And Spins,
With Style And Schemes,
With Hope And Sins,
With Kicks And Kisses.

Kiss Away My Fear Tonight,
You Stole My Soul, Rock Me All Over,
I'm Awake And Up All Night,
Yes, I Want You To Want Me All Over !!
And Over !!
Yes, I Want You All Over !!
To Want Me All Over !!

I just bumped the likes up to an even 200. I had the pleasure of seeing En Esch perform this song live a couple weeks ago in Pittsburgh on the Spank tour. I have some clips I filmed from the show up on my channel. One of the best concerts I have ever seen. En Esch and band gave 100% and kicked ass.

@BlutRoterMond

Saw these guys live last night, got to help setup and during sound check and concert they played this song. Love it ^_^

@ViciousKurai

This is one of those songs where the original is the best. I have yet to hear a remix that is as good as this version.

@thunderwolf4237

Sound so similar to KMFDM! Love it

@elaborationsofcarbon

Sexiest industrial song ever! This one will never get old. >:)

@BobbyBaxter

Pleasantly surprised to catch this song on the first episode of True Blood for season 4! Can't say i'm a big fan of the show but at least those vampires have a good taste in music!

@beccabumz
