The song lyrics were written by the band Van Halen, as they were asked to write a song for the 1979 movie "Over the Edge" starring Matt Dillon. The movie (and the lyrics, although more obliquely) are about bored, rebellious youth with nothing better to do than get into trouble. If you see the movie, these lyrics will make more sense. It's a great movie if you grew up in the 70s/80s you'll definitely remember some of these characters from your own life. Fun fact, after writing the song, Van Halen decided not to let the movie use it.
And we danced
So pristine and
Knee deep in sin
Balls deep in hate
(I see your face)
I see your face and it tears me
Tears me up
My mouth is full of love
My head is held in shame
When you kiss me
Do you still taste her?
Are you thinking of
Are you thinking of me?
With your lips pressed tightly up against his skin
Does your body still scream my name?
Does your body still scream my name?
Hold your breath and keep it
Trapped with secrets
'Til you're turning cold blue with guilt
Still no blood is spilt
Had I seen the plot twists coming
Would I have checked out the book?
And even if I was dead
You would never be off the fucking hook
When you kiss me
Do you still taste her?
Are you thinking of
Are you thinking of me?
With your lips pressed tightly up against his skin
Does your body still scream my name?
Does your body still scream my
Can you take it
While I fake it
Can you take it
While I fake it
Cross your heart
False your heart
Cross your heart
False your heart
When you kiss me
Do you still taste her?
Are you thinking of
Are you thinking of me?
With your lips pressed tightly up against his skin
Does your body still scream my name?
Does your body still scream my name?
Cross your heart
False your heart
Cross your heart
False your heart
So pristine and
Knee deep in sin
Balls deep in hate
(I see your face)
I see your face and it tears me
Tears me up
My mouth is full of love
My head is held in shame
When you kiss me
Do you still taste her?
Are you thinking of
Are you thinking of me?
With your lips pressed tightly up against his skin
Does your body still scream my name?
Does your body still scream my name?
Hold your breath and keep it
Trapped with secrets
'Til you're turning cold blue with guilt
Still no blood is spilt
Had I seen the plot twists coming
Would I have checked out the book?
And even if I was dead
You would never be off the fucking hook
When you kiss me
Do you still taste her?
Are you thinking of
Are you thinking of me?
With your lips pressed tightly up against his skin
Does your body still scream my name?
Does your body still scream my
Can you take it
While I fake it
Can you take it
While I fake it
Cross your heart
False your heart
Cross your heart
False your heart
When you kiss me
Do you still taste her?
Are you thinking of
Are you thinking of me?
With your lips pressed tightly up against his skin
Does your body still scream my name?
Does your body still scream my name?
Cross your heart
False your heart
Cross your heart
False your heart

The Night We Met
Lord Huron
Lord Huron
This is a hauntingly beautiful song about introspection, specifically about looking back at a relationship that started bad and ended so poorly, that the narrator wants to go back to the very beginning and tell himself to not even travel down that road. I believe that the relationship started poorly because of the lines:
"Take me back to the night we met:When the night was full of terrors: And your eyes were filled with tears: When you had not touched me yet"
So, the first night was not a great start, but the narrator pursued the relationship and eventually both overcame the rough start to fall in love with each other:
"I had all and then most of you"
Like many relationships that turn sour, it was not a quick decline, but a gradual one where the narrator and their partner fall out of love and gradually grow apart
"Some and now none of you"
Losing someone who was once everything in your world, who you could confide in, tell your secrets to, share all the most intimate parts of your life, to being strangers with that person is probably one of the most painful experiences a person can go through. So Painful, the narrator wants to go back in time and tell himself to not even pursue the relationship.
This was the perfect song for "13 Reasons Why"

Blue
Ed Sheeran
Ed Sheeran
“Blue” is a song about a love that is persisting in the discomfort of the person experiencing the emotion. Ed Sheeran reflects on love lost, and although he wishes his former partner find happiness, he cannot but admit his feelings are still very much there. He expresses the realization that he might never find another on this stringed instrumental by Aaron Dessner.
Plastic Bag
Ed Sheeran
Ed Sheeran
“Plastic Bag” is a song about searching for an escape from personal problems and hoping to find it in the lively atmosphere of a Saturday night party. Ed Sheeran tells the story of his friend and the myriad of troubles he is going through. Unable to find any solutions, this friend seeks a last resort in a party and the vanity that comes with it.
“I overthink and have trouble sleepin’ / All purpose gone and don’t have a reason / And there’s no doctor to stop this bleedin’ / So I left home and jumped in the deep end,” Ed Sheeran sings in verse one. He continues by adding that this person is feeling the weight of having disappointed his father and doesn’t have any friends to rely on in this difficult moment. In the second verse, Ed sings about the role of grief in his friend’s plight and his dwindling faith in prayer. “Saturday night is givin’ me a reason to rely on the strobe lights / The lifeline of a promise in a shot glass, and I’ll take that / If you’re givin’ out love from a plastic bag,” Ed sings on the chorus, as his friend turns to new vices in hopes of feeling better.
You guys are close, but its not just one person cheating on the other. They're both cheating on eachother. Lyric disection: "When You Kiss Me Do You Still Taste Or " here the girl can taste the lipstick of another woman on the man's lips, finding out he's been cheating
"Are You Thinking Of Are You Thinking Of Me With Your Lips Pressed Tightly Up Against His Skin Does Your Body Still Scream My Name" now the girl retaliates, but while she's cheating, she's thinking only of the guy that made her do so.
With the two cheating on eachother, it makes it Their sick story. Good song.
it is HER instead of OR
YEAH AND THOSE LYRICS ARE WRONG
When we danced, so pristine and knee deep in sin, balls deep in hate,I see your face I see your face and it tears me,tears me up my mouth is full of love, my head is held in shame
Chorus: when you kiss me, do you still taste her are you thinking of, are you thinking of me with your lips pressed tightly up against his skin does your body still scream my name x2
hold your breath and keep it trapped with secrets till your turning cold blue with guilt still no blood is spilt had I seen the plot twist coming would I have checked out the book? and even if I was dead you would never be off the fucking hook
Chorus:
Can You Take It While I Fake It x2
(solo)
Cross Your Heart, false your heart x2
Chorus
Cross your heart, False your heart x2
the last chorus is crazy, i love it. A couple of changes i think its "would i TAKE out the blood" other than its pretty solid. This song is definitely about a girl cheating on a guy.
"My Mouth Is Full Of Love My Head Is Held In Shame"
awsm lyrics. songs about a guy likeing another guy.
I agree that it could be Alex's bisexual side coming out in this song.
where do you get the guy liking guy thing. it seems more that he got humiliated by the girl or that he's ashamed to still be in love with he and wants to feel the same way
I'm not sure what's going on here. I think it's about a girl who fucked him over, but he knows that he is better than the guy she is with now. It's like a really cocky song (no pun intended, considering some of the lyrics here are sexual) You get the feeling that Alex was in a confident but pissed off state when he wrote these words. Fucking classy
oh, and i think "... still taste or" should be "..still taste HER"
Timmy, I couldn't have explained it better. And I agree, I think it should be HER instead of OR
