Red Velvet Lips
Velvet Lies: A Tale of Longing and Deception
Lyrics
I just want to know
I am curious and want to understand
Was it hard to let it go
Did you find it challenging to move on?
How'd you feel that night
Can you describe your emotions from that particular night?
That show
Referring to a specific event or performance
When you asked
Recalling a moment where the speaker initiated a slow kiss
I kiss you slow
Addressing the person being kissed
And she said
Quoting the response of the person being kissed
Kiss me slowly
Expressing a desire for a slow kiss
The way you hold me
Describing the intimate way of being held
You really know me
Claiming a deep understanding of the person
Just what to do
Complimenting the partner's ability to please
Red velvet lips
Referring to the partner's red velvet lips
Hands on your hips
Describing the physical contact with the partner
Went in to kiss
Attempting to initiate a kiss
To kiss
Emphasizing the intention to kiss
On you
General reference to the partner
But you had to go and lie
Expressing disappointment in the partner's dishonesty
You had to go deny
Reiterating the partner's denial and dishonesty
That your skin did not long
Suggesting a desire for physical closeness
For mine
Expressing personal feelings of longing
I practiced every night
Revealing dedicated practice for a specific purpose
I really thought that I
Indicating confidence in making things right
I really thought to make this right
Emphasizing the intention to correct a situation
She walked in, a mess
Introducing a new character, a person who appears disheveled
And when she came in
Describing the entrance of the disheveled person
She came in
Repeating the entrance of the disheveled person
Wearing her best
Detailing the attire of the disheveled person
All black dress
Describing the disheveled person's appearance
Now, this night, she came with friends
Setting the scene of the night and the presence of friends
And she had to sit there
Describing the disheveled person's actions
Yeah, just there
Emphasizing the act of pretending
And pretend
Highlighting the need for pretense
She had to go and lie
Expressing disappointment in the disheveled person's dishonesty
She had to go deny
Reiterating the disheveled person's denial and dishonesty
That her skin did not long
Suggesting a desire for physical closeness with the disheveled person
For mine
Expressing personal feelings of longing for the disheveled person
I practiced every night
Revealing dedicated practice for a specific purpose with the disheveled person
I really thought that I
Indicating confidence in making things right with the disheveled person
I really thought to make this right
Emphasizing the intention to correct a situation with the disheveled person
You had to go and lie
Expressing disappointment in the partner's dishonesty once again
You had to go deny
Reiterating the partner's denial and dishonesty once again
That your skin did not long
Suggesting a desire for physical closeness with the partner once again
For mine
Expressing personal feelings of longing
