Mouth to Mouth Lyrics

You tied the knot
A legend is what you bought
I give you cold water and you
Swear it was wine
You bought time
If you can fool yourself, then why not them?
Just keep on passing it mouth to mouth to mouth

I can dress up the dead man
But I can't bring him back to life

You tied the knot
Peeled your skin off, leaving a bundle of nerves
I give you a wet noodle, you swear that it was my tongue
A sharp one
Instead of that same old mouth to mouth to mouth to mouth

I can dress up the dead man
But I can't bring him back to life

What is the Meaning of Mouth to Mouth?

Imagine navigating through life's deceptions and self-delusions with a touch of dark humor. This song dives into the idea of people fooling themselves and others, to the point where lies become indistinguishable from truth. The lyrics suggest that even when we try to revive something lifeless, whether it's a relationship or an idea, it remains dead despite our efforts. The imagery of tasting cold water and believing it's wine or mistaking a wet noodle for a sharp tongue highlights human gullibility. It’s a poetic exploration of our tendency to mask reality with comforting illusions. #DarkHumor #SelfDeception #Illusions #HumanNature
