The request for kisses in French and the metaphor of being taken higher than Mount Everest suggest a longing for a love that is both exotic and exhilarating.

The imagery of alcohol wetting the lips and the command to 'lose respect' for the speaker implies a breaking down of barriers and conventions, inviting a more primal and uninhibited interaction.
