I love dominantly
You make me weak, make me thirsty for release
Wan’, come compliment me
Then become my enemy
Cop a flight to Paris, low key
It’s you baby girl I’m trying to breed, please
Baby, try to understand me
I’m not a monster, I’m just a man with needs
I take flights when I learn it’s time to go
Tryna take time back crossing timing zones
Gone press your lips ‘pon me
LSD got me feelin’ empathy
Wan fi’ alter the mind chemically
‘Cause we suffer endlessly
Could be Kamikaze, only time will tell
Even though I’m godly, might end up in Hell
Sweet melody, wind up yuh body ‘pon mi
Yuh lovin’ baby girl, you know mi need it, need it
Let me fight for it, mi achieve it, ‘chieve it
Sweet melody, wind up yuh body ‘pon mi
Yuh lovin’ baby girl, you know mi need it, need it
Let me fight for it, mi achieve it, ‘chieve it
Feel my love drip over your skin
Rich dark chocolate, sweet melanin
Forevermore you gon’ be my kin
Whatever Jah has binded, let no man enter in
You give me your love, it’s unrequited
The thought of you gets me excited
I guess I’ll come to your crib, uninvited
A few of your favorite vices, girl I know you like it
Girl, you came through like (Lightning)
You light up my life, you’re like (Lightning)
Danny be good? That’s (Unlikely, likely)
But Jah be comin’ down, yeah
He turned my life around, yeah
Sweet melody, wind up yuh body ‘pon mi
Yuh lovin’ baby girl, you know mi need it, need it
Let me fight for it, mi achieve it, ‘chieve it
Sweet melody, wind up yuh body ‘pon mi
Yuh lovin’ baby girl, you know mi need it, need it
Let me fight for it, mi achieve it, ‘chieve it
Feel my love drip over your skin
Rich dark chocolate, sweet melanin
Forevermore you gon’ be my kin
Whatever Jah has binded, let no man enter in
Unraveling Desire and Vulnerability in “CYANIDE”
“CYANIDE” by Caesar and Daniel immerses listeners in a passionate exploration of desire, vulnerability, and the complexities of human connection. The lyrics paint a vivid picture of intense longing, where love oscillates between pleasure and pain. References to flights, Paris, and altered states evoke a sense of escapism and experimentation, while the recurring plea for understanding reveals a raw, emotional honesty. The chorus, with its rhythmic repetition and Caribbean-infused phrases, amplifies the yearning for intimacy and the willingness to fight for love. Poetic lines about “rich dark chocolate, sweet melanin” celebrate affection and identity, while spiritual undertones hint at a search for meaning and redemption amidst the chaos of affection.
