I thought I knew what this song was about until I read the lyrics! I thought he was saying "true love's kiss" - which makes sense with the romantic vibe of the song - but it's "Judas kiss"? Judas greeted Jesus with a kiss on the cheek the day he betrayed Jesus to Romans, so a "Judas kiss" would be a betrayal, not a sweet romantic moment. Anyone have thoughts? I don't know much about Dave Barnes, this song randomly popped up on my Pandora. Is it about being with someone who seems right in the moment ("on a night like this, you seem perfect") but is actually bad for you?
the Judas Kiss he is referring to is the fact that when he sees her silhouette, it betrays his true, suppressed feelings of love for her. I believe, he's been hiding ('hid myself from this') his love for this girl and the moment, mood and atmosphere they are in is just perfect--perfect enough to reveal how he truly feels for her.
