In The Dream's song Purple Kisses, the lyrics are a playful conversation between two lovers talking about makeup, appearance, and how they like to kiss. The Dream's love interest is choosing between two lipsticks, Bobbi Brown's Lip Petal or Veneer by M-A-C. The Dream compliments his lover, telling her she looks amazing even without makeup but adores the purple lipstick she is wearing. The chorus repeats the phrase "purple kisses" which is a reference to the lipstick color. The song’s lyrics encourage a fun and playful vibe, with The Dream praising every aspect of his lover’s appearance.
The lyrics then shift to an intimate scene, where The Dream promises to break her off tonight and encourages her to leave her lip prints all over his body. He compares her beauty to celestial objects, with her being Venus, his love as Jupiter, and he as Mars, as they turn their bedroom into the sun. He continues to express his adoration of the way she kisses him, which creates a purple imprint on his skin.
The song's theme of intimacy is enhanced by references to casual sex, breaking off, and guns. The Dream's delivery of the lyrics is reminiscent of rap lyrics, but it blends seamlessly into the R&B beat of the song. The song features several musical elements, including the use of strings and synthesizers, which give it a futuristic and dreamy sound.
