Kiss Me Idle
Embracing Idle Kisses: Unveiling the Poetry of Lost Love
Lyrics
roses dead in dirty water held up by the vase
Roses, once vibrant, are now lifeless in dirty water and supported by a vase.
once a gift good-bye but now remind me to replace
Initially a gift, but now a reminder to replace, signifying changing emotions.
hardened petals bang the dresser when they fall away
Hardened petals make noise when falling away, indicating the passage of time and emotional hardness.
kiss me idle
An expression, possibly metaphorical, inviting an idle kiss.
kiss me without make-up, leave no marks upon my chest
Request to be kissed without any disguises or traces left behind.
kiss me for no other reason then to give your eyes a rest
Suggesting a kiss without a specific reason, emphasizing the simplicity of the act.
kiss me slow and leave me lifeless, let this all digest
Desiring a slow, lifeless kiss, allowing time for contemplation.
kiss me idle
Reiteration of the desire for an idle kiss.
slowly, slowly, the longer it takes the better mistakes we end up stumbling on
Emphasizing the value of slow progress and the wisdom gained from mistakes.
i wouldn't want to leave upon your tongue a sour taste
Expressing a desire not to leave a negative impression or memory.
leave it foiled and disappointed, wanting to be chased
Suggesting a preference for anticipation and pursuit rather than instant gratification.
a mouth that's open wide and speechless seems like such a waste
Commenting on the waste of a speechless, open-mouthed expression.
kiss me idle
Reiteration of the desire for an idle kiss.
one time lazy, another time dear, despite all your fears of outlasting my love
Describing a fluctuating relationship, acknowledging fears of love not lasting.
i can't afford the stubborn sleep on photographs of birthdays past
Expressing an inability to afford dwelling on past memories, urging to live in the present.
so close your eyes and catch your breath and i will wait right here
Encouraging closing one's eyes, catching breath, and waiting, possibly for a fresh start.
i tied my fingers to remind me to leave you every day
Symbolic act of tying fingers to remember the need for separation.
while my hair is growing white, the strings are turning gray
Highlighting the aging process and the gradual unraveling of ties.
one by one they come undone until they fall away
Describing the unraveling of tied strings until they fall away.
kiss me idle kiss me idle
Reiteration of the desire for an idle kiss.
