pleasure heads must burn
The Plot to Blow Up the Eiffel Tower Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

I reckon I'm a bit too close to this one
Flesh-heads like me just wax and melt
When my tongue touches titty's tongue in turn
Sometimes pleasure heads must burn
Pop! Pop!
I feel a little low
Buried neck-high in British snow
I feel a little low
Buried neck-high in British snow
Kiss me darling, kiss my eyes to blind




Kiss my clubs and witness what my knuckles find
Yeah! Yeah!

The lyrics to "Pleasure Heads Must Burn" by The Plot to Blow Up the Eiffel Tower are quite dark and abrasive, with themes of self-destructive behavior and the consequences that come with it. The first line, "I reckon I'm a bit too close to this one," suggests a feeling of being in over one's head or in a situation that is difficult to control. The next line, "Flesh-heads like me just wax and melt," references the fragility of the human body and how easily it can be destroyed or damaged. The following lines, "When my tongue touches titty's tongue in turn / Sometimes pleasure heads must burn," suggest a reckless and impulsive behavior that can lead to negative consequences.


The chorus of the song, "Pop! Pop! / I feel a little low / Buried neck-high in British snow / I feel a little low / Buried neck-high in British snow / Kiss me darling, kiss my eyes to blind / Kiss my clubs and witness what my knuckles find / Yeah! Yeah!" continues with the themes of self-destructive behavior and the consequences that come with it. The "Pop! Pop!" suggests a popping or bursting sensation, possibly related to getting high on drugs or engaging in dangerous behavior. The reference to being buried in British snow could be a metaphor for feeling trapped or suffocated by one's own actions. The final lines, "Kiss me darling, kiss my eyes to blind / Kiss my clubs and witness what my knuckles find / Yeah!
