Tiptoe Lyrics

You feel good
You feel right
You're so good
You feel good
You feel right
You're so good

Nanana
Nanana

Tiptoe. Over me
Tiptoe.
Tiptoe. Over me.
Tiptoe.

Nanana
Nanana

Nanana (You feel good)
Nanana (You feel)
Nanana (so good)

Tears start. over.
(I'm here, dying).
Tears start. don't tell. here.
Tears start. don't fall.
tears start. over here.
Tears start over you.

Nanana
Nanana
Nanana
Nanana (You feel good)
Nanana (You feel)
Nanana (so good)

Nanana
Nanana
Nanana
Nanana

Tears start. don't tell. here.
Tears start. over. tears start.
Tears start. don't tell. here.
Teras just started over you but i'm not over you.
Tears start. don't tell. here.
Tears just started over you but i'm not over you.

Sexual abuse, perhaps?

Cover art for Tiptoe lyrics by Goldfrapp

BC is my fav Goldfrapp album because it's so raunchy, and Tiptoe is my favorite Goldfrapp song (I listen to it more often than the others)...

Bedtime Stories made a mv for this one (on YouTube).. unofficial, but it might as well be the official video imho (even though there's no alison)

Personally, I feel like this song is about being abused sexually as well. The lines "Tears start. Don't tell." for example; She (or he) is in despair because of the way the abuse makes them feel, or has made them feel, but the entire their abuser tells them not to tell. And the whole "You feel good. You feel right." lyric pieces could be their abuser telling them how good they feel and trying to justify what he or she is doing to the abused person. And the "Tears just started over you but I'm not over you." is, in my opinion, the protagonist speaking about how they can't get over what has happened to them. That's just my interpretation...

My Interpretation

i think I figured it out! It's about sadomasochism.

My Interpretation

Just dropped by to say hello, AND hey, I don't see much of a sexual abuse here. Most of the music from Goldfrapp creates this sexual and obscure athmosphere which is a turn on for a good 99% of women (men too, but for women the effect is stronger I'd say). Tiptoe and tears and blah blah could be interpreted as a BDSM subplot, or just... ehm... sex. The good-kind-of or not, depending on your tastes, but please don't spot out sexual abuse because that's way too easy. That "tiptoe over me" sounds like a lustful and heartfelt invitation. And hard to reject.

My Opinion

This has to be one of me favorite songs to everything about it is amazing especially the parts where you can really understand what she saying.

Simple

"(On) tiptoe" = "Full of anticipation; eager"

"Tears start. over. (I'm here, dying)." = La petite mort
