Perfume
Intimate Fragrance: Unraveling the Emotional Notes in 'Perfume' by The Polymics
Lyrics
We're only really talking
We engage in meaningful conversation
At 12 at night
Specifically at midnight
Lying in your bed
While lying in your bed
And I know what's on your mind
Aware of your thoughts and feelings
Do you like the smell
Asking if you appreciate the fragrance
Of my perfume
Referring to the scent of my perfume
I hope the smell
Expressing a desire for the scent to linger
Stains the pillows in your bedroom
Hoping the fragrance leaves a mark on your pillows
Is this pillowtalk
Questioning if our conversation is meaningful (pillowtalk)
Is that all that we got
Wondering if this is the extent of our connection
This is pillowtalk
Confirming that our talk revolves around intimate matters
Yes it's pillowtalk
Acknowledging that it's indeed intimate conversation
Is that all that we got
Reiterating the limited nature of our connection
Sitting on the edge of your bed
Describing the physical setting of the interaction
While I put my makeup on
Getting ready with makeup while seated on your bed
It's not even quarter to 10
Noting the early time and your desire for me to leave
And you already want me gone
Indicating impatience with our interaction
But you were tracing my tattoos
Highlighting a previous intimate moment - tattoo tracing
And telling me things I already know about you
Recalling shared knowledge about each other
Fuck this shitty pillowtalk
Dismissing the current pillowtalk as unimportant
It's good cause I don't want you
Acknowledging the positive aspect of disinterest
Is this pillowtalk
Repeating the question about the nature of our talk
Is that all that we got
Reiterating the limited nature of our connection
This is pillowtalk
Confirming the intimate nature of our conversation
Yes it's pillowtalk
Acknowledging that it's indeed intimate conversation
And that's all that we got
Emphasizing the limited nature of our connection
You can smell it in your room
Noting the lingering scent in your room
Yes it's my perfume
Confirming the source of the scent as my perfume
Yeah it's in your sheets
Expressing a desire for the scent to be embedded in your sheets
I hope it reminds you of me
Hoping the scent serves as a reminder of me
I can't read your thoughts
Admitting inability to understand your thoughts
Get out of your baby cot
Suggesting a departure from a childish mindset
Cause it's my perfume
Reaffirming that the lingering scent is from my perfume
Perfume
Repeating the reference to the perfume
It's all over you
Stating that the scent is pervasive
Yeah it's my perfume
Confirming the origin of the pervasive scent as my perfume
