‘Tejano Blue’ by Cigarettes After Sex is a passionate exploration of love and desire. The song captures the intense physical and emotional connection between two people, with the singer expressing a deep longing to make their partner a permanent part of their life.
The opening lines ‘We wanted to fuck with real love / Wanted it sweet, so pure and warm’ set the tone for the song. They’re talking about a deep, passionate love that’s both physical and emotional. They don’t just want a casual fling, they want something real and lasting.
‘And when you got back from your flight / It was the first thing we did’ – this line implies that their connection is so strong, they can’t wait to be together again. It’s not just about the physical act, but the emotional intimacy that comes with it.
‘And when you say you want it all / I know you want it all / Baby, take it all from me’ – here, the singer is offering everything they have to their partner. They’re ready to give their all in this relationship, holding nothing back.
‘And when you drag me on the floor and the blue tejano’s on / You keep your eyes on me’ – this line paints a vivid picture of a dance, possibly a Tejano dance (a style of music and dance from Texas with Mexican influences). The ‘blue tejano’ could refer to a song, or possibly the partner’s outfit. The singer is captivated by their partner’s gaze, showing their deep connection.
‘So get in the waves, swim in your leather / I always will make it feel like you were the last one / Get in the waves like it was the first time / Bless your heart, make you part of my life forever’ – these lines further emphasize the singer’s desire to make their partner a permanent part of their life. The ‘waves’ could symbolize the ups and downs of life, and ‘swim in your leather’ could be a metaphor for enduring tough times together. The singer is ready to face any challenge, as long as they’re with their partner.
‘In shorts so high waist / The girl in the arcade said they were the shortest ever / And the rest like ‘Holiday’ / The live one where she sang, dancing in a polka dot top’ – these lines add a playful, nostalgic touch to the song. The singer is reminiscing about a memorable moment with their partner, further highlighting their deep emotional connection.
Overall, ‘Tejano Blue’ is a beautiful expression of love and longing. It’s about wanting to share every part of your life with someone, from the intimate moments to the everyday memories. It’s a testament to the power of love and the lengths we’re willing to go to keep it alive.
