The line "he hit me and it felt like a kiss" is from He Hit Me, and song written by Gerry Goffin and Carole King that was made famous when The Crystals recorded it in 1962. The song is about the singer Little Eva, whose boyfriend beat her regularly. She genuinely believed that his abuse came from a place of love. Anyway, it's a very haunting song. I recommend you all listen to it to get a better understanding of this song. Grizzly Bear recorded a version of He Hit Me several years ago and it is even more haunting and bizarre than the original. I love it.
