Quote from Florence and the Machine's myspace page:
"Kiss with a fist is NOT a song about domestic violence.
it is about two people pushing each other to phsycological extremes because they love each other.
the song is not about one person being attacked, or any actual physical violence, there are no victims in this song.
sometimes the love two people have for each other is a destructive force. but they cant have it any other way,
because its what holds them together, they enjoy the drama and pushing each others buttons.
the only way to express these extreme emotions is with extreme imagery, all of which is fantasism and nothing in the song is based on reality.
leona lewis's bleeding love isn't actually about her bleeding.
this isnt really about punching someone in the face. thank you and goodnight."
I obviously couldn't put it better, because I'm not the artist. But that's what I always thought of when I heard this song. A very self destructive/violent couple, not physically but mentally and emotionally. It's just a very passionate romance.
