The Kiss
Betrayed by a Kiss: Unveiling Love's Deceit in Radney Foster's Melody
Lyrics
Well it's over and gone
Expressing the end of something.
Girl tell me the truth
Requesting honesty from the girl.
Don't try to lie about it
Discouraging dishonesty.
Someone else has been with you
Suggesting someone else has been involved romantically.
Judas couldn't hide it any better than this
Comparing the situation to the betrayal of Judas.
The secret's out darling
Revealing the secret has been exposed.
Betrayed by a kiss
Highlighting the betrayal through a kiss.
Well it's right here with us baby
Emphasizing the presence of the issue.
Though it really can't be seen
Acknowledging the invisible nature of the problem.
It's the smell of his seduction
Describing the alluring scent of the other person.
And it makes it hard to breathe
Explaining the impact on breathing.
A tender touch can hit you so much harder than a fist
Comparing the power of a tender touch to a fist.
Not a single word was spoken
Highlighting the silent nature of the betrayal.
You've been betrayed by a kiss
Reiterating the theme of betrayal through a kiss.
Where did we go wrong
Questioning where the relationship went wrong.
And blow that candle out
Metaphorically ending the romantic connection.
How'd love so strong
Reflecting on the strength of love.
Learn to fill a house with doubts
Expressing doubts filling the relationship.
And how long have I been so blind
Realizing the blindness to the situation.
And been the odd man out
Feeling like an outsider in the relationship.
SOLO
Instrumental solo, no lyrics.
Now the truth is so hard
Describing the choice to lie when the truth is harsh.
That we choose to lie
Emphasizing the denial through shouting.
And shout our denials
Referencing tears running dry from crying.
Till the ducts have run dry
Highlighting the inability to cover up the betrayal.
No one's there to cover up the last track that you missed
Explaining the revealing nature of an intimate moment.
It's an intimate moment
Stressing the impact of betrayal through a kiss.
To be betrayed by a kiss
Repeating the idea of a tender kiss being powerful.
Tender lips can hit you so much harder than a fist
Emphasizing the heartbreak caused by a kiss.
It's a damnable heartbreak
Concluding that being betrayed by a kiss is a terrible experience.
To be betrayed by a kiss
Reiterating the sentiment of betrayal through a kiss.
