The Red Kiss
The Aikiu Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Death has no mercy you see
She floats around and spins around
She's everybody's darling under the ground
Death sneaks everywhere
please tell her
to stop, if you dare
in the air
under the sea
and maybe i am wrong
maybe i am not
Death is like a queue so hard to stop
does anybody care
death is everywhere
oh death is everywhere
This is the red kiss
the darker height
that put you to sleep
a moment of truth
that lovers bliss
The red kiss
how could one resist?
You said you're in love with me
but I'm not as good as I
pretend to be
I float around and spin around
I'm everybody's darling under ground
You follow everywhere I wish you
stop decei...
and you've been hawling for me
that is at the right time you see
And maybe i am wrong
maybe i am not
Death is like a queue so hard to stop
You're floating in the air
as we hide in despair
'cause Death is everywhere
This is the red kiss
the darker height
that put you to sleep
a moment of truth
that lovers bliss
The red kiss
how could one resist?
This is the red kiss
the sweetest light
that put you to sleep
that lovers bliss
the red kiss
the death kiss
how could one resist?
I don't think I'm the one
that you're looking for
Death we'll meet far more
and maybe i am wrong
maybe i am not
for this I'm no longer sure
This is the red kiss
the darker height
that put you to sleep
a moment of truth
that lovers bliss
The red kiss
how could one resist?
The red kiss...
The death kiss...
The red kiss... oh no!
The red kiss...
The death kiss...
The red kiss...
The Aikiu's song, "The Red Kiss," is a haunting and poetic meditation on death and mortality. The lyrics are both evocative and ominous, conveying a sense of foreboding and inevitability as the singer explores the themes of love, loss, and the inevitability of death.
The song begins with the singer characterizing death as being in love with them, a personification that creates a poetic image of the inescapable nature of death. The singer acknowledges the universal character of death, acknowledging that it has no mercy and that it is everyone's "darling under the ground." Death is omnipresent and inescapable, taking on a metaphorical queue that is hard to stop.
The chorus of the song repeats the titular phrase "the red kiss," which is both seductive and menacing. It is described as a moment of truth and lovers' bliss, yet also as a darker height that puts one to sleep. "The Red Kiss" is an allusion to the concept of the "kiss of death," and creates a powerful image of death as a seductive force that ultimately leads to one's demise.
The second verse of the song explores the singer's relationship to death, with the individual acknowledging that they are not as good as they pretend to be. They are an imperfect being floating around and spinning around, just like death itself. The singer wishes that death would stop following them, yet acknowledges that it is an unstoppable force that has been searching for them in the air and under the sea.
Overall, "The Red Kiss" is a haunting exploration of the inevitability of death and the seductive power that it holds over us all. It is a song that provokes deep and introspective thought about our own mortality, and is an enthralling and mesmerizing work of art.

La muerte está enamorada de mí, la muerte no tiene piedad, ya ves
Ella flota y gira, ella es querida por todos debajo de la tierra
La muerte se cuela por todos lados, por favor dile que se detenga, si te atreves
La muerte me ha estado buscando, en el aire, debajo del mar
Y tal vez estoy equivocado, tal vez no soy
La muerte es como tú, tan difícil de detener
¿Alguien le importa? la muerte está en todas partes, oh, la muerte está en todas partes
Este es el beso rojo, el ojo más oscuro, que te pone a dormir
El momento de la verdad, la dicha de los amantes, el beso rojo, ¿cómo se puede resistir?
Dices que estás enamorado de mí, pero no soy tan bueno como pretendo ser
Floto y giro, soy el favorito de todos debajo de la tierra
¿Sigues a todas partes, deseo que detengas esto?
Y has estado corriendo por mí, pero no es el momento adecuado, ves
Y tal vez estoy equivocado, tal vez no soy
La muerte es como tú, tan difícil de detener
Estás volando en el aire, mientras nos escondemos en la desesperación, 'porque la muerte está en todas partes
Este es el beso rojo, el ojo más oscuro, que te pone a dormir
El momento de la verdad, la dicha de los amantes, el beso rojo, ¿cómo se puede resistir?
Este es el beso rojo, la noche más dulce, que te pone a dormir
La dicha de los amantes, el beso rojo, el beso de la muerte, ¿cómo se puede resistir?
No creo que yo sea el que estás buscando, la muerte necesitará más
Y tal vez estoy equivocado, y tal vez no sea por este desconocido ???
Este es el beso rojo, el ojo más oscuro, que te pone a dormir
El momento de la verdad, la dicha de los amantes, el beso rojo, ¿cómo se puede resistir?
El beso rojo, el beso de la muerte, el beso rojo

This song did not get old and it's getting even more relevant in recent times...unfortunately. Still love it even though it's beginning to hurt.
