Bite
Troye Sivan Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Sing me like a choir
I can be the subject of your dreams
Your sickening desire
Don't you wanna see a man up close
A phoenix in the fire
So kiss me on the mouth and set me free
You can coax the cold right out of me
Drape me in your warmth
The rapture in the dark puts me at ease
The blind eye of the storm
Let's go for a walk down Easy Street
Where you can be reborn
And kiss me on the mouth and set me free
But please, don't bite
Aah, I'm pulling on your heart to push my luck
Aah, 'cause who's got any time for growing up
Kiss me on the mouth
Kiss me on the mouth
Kiss me, kiss me on the mouth and set me free
Kiss me on the mouth and set me free
Kiss me on the mouth and set me free
Kiss me on the mouth and set me free
Kiss me on the mouth and set me free
Sing me like a choir
I can be the subject of your dreams
Your sickening desire
Don't you wanna see a man up close
A phoenix in the fire
So kiss me on the mouth and set me free
But please, don't bite
The chorus of "BITE" is all about intimacy and vulnerability, with the singer asking their lover to kiss them on the mouth and set them free from their inhibitions. The idea of being "sung like a choir" implies that the singer wants to be the center of their lover's attention and adoration, and that their love is something they want to be celebrated and elevated on a grand scale. The line "A phoenix in the fire" reinforces this idea, suggesting that the singer wants to be reborn and resurrected through their lover's passion.
The second verse explores the other side of intimacy, with the singer mentioning the "rapture in the dark" and the "blind eye of the storm" that puts them at ease. This suggests that there is a sense of danger and risk involved in the relationship, but that it's also a source of comfort and safety. In the final lines of the song, the singer mentions pulling on their lover's heart to "push [their] luck," highlighting the fragility and uncertainty of their connection.

With clothes half undone, left on the wooden floors. Warm hands wrapped around his cold ivory neck, he felt their hot breath fanning against his skin. He shivered. As the bright moon shined upon them that night and the infinite stars that danced across the sky. The vampire had been lost on what to do with the shorter human that had wrapped themselves onto him. Aroused and confused he was as he sat on his bed as the human looked up at him.
" This is not right, I know it is but why are making me feel these emotions? How are you doing this? " the quiet vampire whispered to himself, hiding his face in his rough palms. Feeling the warm tears that were sliding down his cheek.
The human chuckled, lifting his face. Planting a kiss on his thin lips. Leaning close to his ears, their breath tickling his pale ears.
" My love, let your mind take over. Unbind yourself from these chains you fear. If you fear the sin then let the devil himself watch our love." the human whispered into his ears. He gulped, feeling his throat go dry. Feeling his heart race as they guided his hands across their body. Feeling for every inch of their warm body as he craved more of that warmth, peppering kisses on their warm skin. The human guiding him slowly.
"Does this not feel good to you?" the human asked. A smirk carved as the quiet vampire nodded subtly. craving more of the warmth. Looking into the lustful eyes of the human, taking a deep breath as he finally pressed his cold lips on the humans.
