![]() ![]() ![]() Watch the music video below, if only because, no matter what meaning you derived from the lyrics, the music video still won't make that much sense to you.Oh, we're not on the same place Show me in the same light Feels right when we take flight Clothes off 'cause she's so soft This ain't a fair fight I wanna shed light on the subject I'll get her wetter than ever Four letters are never the question She likes when I'm messy And I like when she's undressing You're looking in the wrong place for my love Don't think because you're with me, this is real You're looking in the wrong place for my love Don't stop what you're doing 'cause I like how you're doing it Here with you 'cause you got the right vibe Seems like you probably got a dope mind But it's gotta be the right time We're only good for the night time I see through your demeanor, baby, I'm a pleaser I go out my way to treat you, but I can't be a teacher 'Cause I’m a problem with problems, I know who I am and I'm not no good You can have me tonight or never, I thought you understood Baby, some people are meant to be loved and others just make it So take what I'm willing to give and love it or hate it Paradise, paradise, paradise, paradiseWar zone, war zone, war zone, war zoneParadise, paradise, paradise, paradiseWar zone, war zone, war zone, war zone He can't make up his mind, as evidenced by the bridge. something? And yet it's only by talking after sex that you can build a real relationship, so it's alternatively his enemy and his friend? That's what I'm getting here. Having to talk after the sex can make you feel like you're in jail? Or. Pillow talkMy enemy, my allyPrisonersThen we're free, it's a thriller In fact, talking about the future can ruin a good thing, according to the second verse. The good and the bad of the future in which they're together "tonight and always."īut that's clearly a thought for tomorrow, as he reinforces in the chorus: So we'll piss off the neighboursIn the place that feels the tearsThe place to lose your fearsYeah, reckless behaviorA place that is so pure, so dirty and rawBe in the bed all day, bed all day, bed all dayF*cking you, and fighting onIt's our paradise and it's our war zone These lines could refer to some sort of Fifty Shades Of Grey, BDSM-esque relationship in the pain and pleasure reference, but I think it's more likely that Malik is looking ahead to the relationship that could build from this sexual encounter. I'm seeing the pain, seeing the pleasureNobody but you, body but me, body but usBodies togetherI'd love to hold you close, tonight and alwaysI'd love to wake up next to youI'd love to hold you close, tonight and alwaysI'd love to wake up next to you The bridge keeps the intense sexuality of the song going. ![]() The first two lines obviously refer to sex, but does "light and dark" mean his skin tone and hers or does it imply some sort of 24-hour sex marathon in which the sun has gone up and down? Who even knows? There's a lot of meaning that could be found here. In the first verse alone, Malik sings: Climb on boardWe'll go slow and high tempoLight and darkHold me hard and mellow The song opens with symbolic imagery, to the surprise of no one. Of course, there's still some confusion to be found, because there's apparently no true artistry in saying exactly what you mean in a song, but I'm confident that I can translate the lyrics from symbolic to literal for all of you. When it comes to the lyrics to Malik's "Pillowtalk," they are thankfully much, much more transparent than the images in the music video. That meaning might have gotten buried by the very bizarre "Pillowtalk" music video, but that shouldn't discourage shrewd fans like myself from analyzing the lyrics to figure out what, exactly, the pop star is talking about. Malik's first solo song might not break any new ground in the genre, but it's catchy and packed with all kinds of meaning. The day has finally arrived in which Zayn Malik gets to show the world what he can do musically, and the answer to the question we were all silently asking is a lot.
