With Valentine’s Day just around the corner, it’s never too early to get your rizz on – and there is no better way to an alternative girl’s heart than some sultry lyrics (and tattoos, but you gotta start somewhere).
From smouldering heart-warming lines to nsfw lyrics from your favourite metal scorpios, we collated the hottest tracks in town to give your day of love a little kick.
1. The Death Of Peace Of Mine – Bad Omens
We don’t make the rules but you knew this was first on the list! You also know this is the internet friendly verse, you know which one we REALLY mean… The scorpio vibes are strong with this one.
Your makeup running down your face, the way you touch, the way you taste
2. Lying Is The Most Fun A Girl Can Have Without Taking Her Clothes Off – Panic! At The Disco
The first verse… “Is it still me that makes you sweat? Am I who you think about in bed? When the lights are dim and your hands are shaking as you’re sliding off your dress?”
3. Kool Aid – Bring Me The Horizon
Oliver Sykes knows exactly what he is doing with his lyrics, so don’t pretend this means anything other than it really does. And no, the metal girlies are not okay.
My hands around your throat, I love the way you choke
‘Cause I am yours and you are mine, I’ll never let you go
4. Sleeping In – All Time Low
This whole song is a vibe to be honest, from “never wanna leave this bed” to “sex in a rosĂ© daze”, Sleeping In is exactly what Valentine’s Day should be.
If I said, “I want your body”, would you hold it against me?
5. Sugar – Sleep Token
You don’t us telling you that Sleep Token is basically baby-making music, so here’s just our favourite of all of them.
Sugar, I’ve developed a taste for you now. My arms keep you in the room, barely let you move
6. Church – Fall Out Boy
Pete Wentz has a way with words, so it comes as no surprise that this word play is *chef’s kiss* In fact, this entire track should be on every Valentine’s Day playlist if you ask us.
If you were church I’d get on my knees, confess my love I’d know where to be
7. Still into you – Paramore
Okay okay, less spicy but it’s a classic line. If you haven’t used this as a pick-up line, you really should. Not only is it cute as hell but it will also clearly tell you if you really should be crushing on that crush – if they don’t know the reference, you might want to look for another emo boo.
Cause after all this time, I’m still into you.
8. Not The American Average – Asking Alexandria
Going from non-spicy to “I am unwell” in one track. We picked the most PG lines from the whole song, but we’re wondering how come book-tok hasn’t discovered this one.
My lips, your poison, they bring you to your knees.
9. Closer – Nine Inch Nails
Speaking of book-tok… This track should at all times be number one on your spicy book playlist or actually, baby-making music playlist. It is absolutely not safe for work or public listening, so please consume at your own risk.
I drink the honey, inside your hive. You are the reason, I stay alive.
