Pillow Talk
ZAYN Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Climb on board
We'll go slow and high tempo
Light and dark
Hold me hard and mellow
I'm seeing the pain, seeing the pleasure
Nobody but you, 'body but me
I love to hold you close, tonight and always
I love to wake up next to you
I love to hold you close, tonight and always
I love to wake up next to you
So we'll piss off the neighbours
In the place that feels the tears
The place to lose your fears
Yeah, reckless behavior
A place that is so pure, so dirty and raw
In the bed all day, bed all day, bed all day
Fucking in and fighting on
It's our paradise and it's our war zone
It's our paradise and it's our war zone
Pillow talk
My enemy, my ally
Prisoners
Then we're free, it's a thin line
I'm seeing the pain, seeing the pleasure
Nobody but you, 'body but me
'Body but us, bodies together
I love to hold you close, tonight and always
I love to wake up next to you
So we'll piss off the neighbours
In the place that feels the tears
The place to lose your fears
Yeah, reckless behavior
A place that is so pure, so dirty and raw
In the bed all day, bed all day, bed all day
Fucking and fighting on
It's our paradise and it's our war zone
It's our paradise and it's our war zone
Paradise (paradise), paradise, (paradise)
War zone (war zone), war zone (war zone)
Paradise (paradise), paradise, (paradise)
War zone (war zone), war zone (war zone)
So we'll piss off the neighbours
In the place that feels the tears
The place to lose your fears
Yeah, reckless behavior
A place that is so pure, so dirty and raw
In the bed all day, bed all day, bed all day
Fucking and fighting on
It's our paradise and it's our war zone
It's our paradise and it's our war zone
The lyrics of Zayn's "Pillow Talk" paint a picture of a passionate, intense, and raw relationship that is both joyful and tumultuous. The song opens with an invitation to climb on board and take things slow but with high energy, oscillating between light and dark tones. The singer seems to revel in both the pleasure and pain he experiences with his partner, as if there is no one else in the world that can match the intensity of their connection. The lyrics use the metaphor of a paradise and a warzone to describe the duality of their relationship, with it being a place that they can both lose themselves in and find comfort, but also a place where they fight and there is chaos.
The chorus of "Pillow Talk" reinforces this idea of pleasure and pain being intertwined in the relationship, with the partner being referred to as both "my enemy, my ally" and "prisoners, then we're free" in quick succession. The lyrics of the song suggest a deep emotional bond between the singer and his partner, with the two of them being "nobody but you, 'body but me" and "bodies together."
In a deeper sense, "Pillow Talk" can be interpreted as a commentary on how intense, passionate relationships can bring both highs and lows, and how the line between pleasure and pain can sometimes be blurred. The song portrays a relationship that is both violent and tender, lustful and loving, abusive and nurturing, making it a complex and provocative exploration of modern love.

Lyrics:
Climb on board.
We’ll go slow and high-tempo.
Light and dark.
Hold me hard and mellow.
I’m seeing the pain, seeing
The pleasure.
Nobody but you, ‘body but me,
‘Body but us, bodies together.
I love to hold you close, tonight and always.
I love to wake up next to you.
(x2)
So we’ll piss off the neighbours.
In the place that feels the tears,
The place to loose your fears.
Yeah, reckless behaviour.
A place that is so pure, so dirty and raw.
In the bed all day, bed all day, bed all day.
Fucking and fighting on.
It’s our paradise and it’s our war zone.
(x2)
Pillow talk, my enemy, my ally.
Prisoners, then were free.
Its a thin line.
I’m seeing pain, seeing the pleasure.
Nobody but you, ‘body but me, ‘body but us.
Bodies together.
I love to hold you close, tonight and always.
I love to wake up next to you.
So we’ll piss off the neighbours.
In the place that feels the tears,
The place to loose your fears.
Yeah, reckless behaviour.
A place that is so pure, so dirty and raw.
In the bed all day, bed all day, bed all day.
Fucking and fighting on.
It’s our paradise and it’s our war zone.

Paradise, paradise, paradise, paradise.
War zone, war zone, war zone, war zone.

In the place that feels the tears,
The place to loose your fears.

A place that is so pure, so dirty and raw.
In the bed all day, bed all day, bed all day.
Fucking and fighting on.
It’s our paradise and it’s our war zone.

Happier than ever, finally free,
Don't need no one to complete me.
Embraced my solitude, bloomed like a flower,
My strength and independence, my greatest power.
No longer searching for love's golden feather,
Happier than ever, contentment lasts forever.
Happier than ever, free from the pain,
Don't need no one, my heart to regain.
Embracing solitude, finding my own way,
Overflowing with joy, come what may.
No loneliness, only sweet serenity,
Whole and content, where I choose to be.
Liberation from dependence, I forever stay,
Happier than ever, don't need no one today.
