| The Presets – Talk Like That Lyrics | 16 years ago |

Well I think it is appropriate to imply from the lyrics that this song is about both phone sex and a semi-(if not completely)socially unacceptable relationship (read; young girl and old But still there are numerous, subtle hints that there is more to this exchange than simple sex driven communication. "My how you've grown", "missing", "daddy's home", "time has come", "we're ready to [the verb is exchangeable] run" all imply a certain adolescent innocence for the subject of the song. This leaves me to believe that "KID I love it when you..." is a not just familiar banter but an implicit statement of the subject's age. This would be fitting since it is thrown out there rather bluntly at the end of the song, as if to say "in case you didn't realize it so far, I am talking about someone younger than me." The overall tone of the song strikes me as a sensual, guilt ridden commentary on the sexual attraction between an older man and a (much) younger woman. Not sure what the listener is supposed to take away from it other than a sense of the emotional anguish/sensation/torment/excitement of such a relationship, as communicated by the artists through the medium of sound and imagery. Not going to lie, it's a catchy song but I'd be hesitant to say the lyrics are something I should be singing, let alone dwelling. |
