The song "Kiss It" by Grinspoon is a rebellious and defiant anthem that criticizes someone who is dishonest and manipulative. The lyrics convey a sense of frustration and betrayal towards this person. The song begins with the protagonist acknowledging that all this person cares about is money and they find it difficult to care about anything else when they are constantly being lied to. The exclamation "WHOA!" adds emphasis to the frustration and disbelief felt. The line "What you do instead masturbation, can you prove the wines not for tasting" suggests that this person engages in selfish behavior and tries to justify it. The protagonist questions if they can prove that the rewards they are reaping are actually worth it. The chorus reinforces the refusal to give in to this person's demands and manipulations. It emphasizes the lack of concern for the consequences if they don't get what they want. The line "Come and try and kiss it come and take the chance" implies that the protagonist is daring this person to try and manipulate or deceive them further. The second verse accuses the person of not only lying to the protagonist but also lying to the whole nation, suggesting that they have a tendency to deceive and manipulate on a larger scale. The mention of being on their knees with bread for baking may symbolize this person resorting to begging for forgiveness or making false promises. The line "Speak your mind, don't let me stop you" encourages the person to express themselves honestly, but it also implies a sense of sarcasm. The following line about finding bread for killing suggests that the person is driven by greed and is willing to do whatever it takes to achieve their goals. The word "sorrow" appears as a solitary line, perhaps representing the protagonist's feelings of sadness and disappointment over the situation. The song also references a postcard sent from a one-night stand, implying a fleeting and insincere connection. The protagonist mentions being directed by the other person's plans, possibly suggesting that they were manipulated or led astray. Overall, "Kiss It" portrays a defiant and resistant attitude towards someone who is dishonest and manipulative. The lyrics express a sense of frustration, betrayal, and a determination to resist succumbing to this person's influence.
