Phone Sex
Cutouts Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Said that you don't want me
But then we had phone sex
And I fell asleep
You got a hold on me
Little troublemaker
Tripping circuit breakers
You got a hold on me
You got a hold on me
Where have you been?
Where have you been?
Where have you been?
Where have you been?
In Cutout's song Phone Sex, the lyrics seem to describe a complicated relationship between two people. The singer in the song receives a call from their lover, who tells them that they do not want them anymore. However, the two end up engaging in phone sex, indicating that despite the initial dismissal, there is still a strong attraction and connection between them. The line "You got a hold on me" reinforces that idea, suggesting that even when the relationship seems unstable or uncertain, there is still an emotional grip that one person has on the other.
The second verse introduces a few more intriguing details about this relationship. The lover is described as a "little troublemaker" and someone who has appeared in the news before. They are also compared to something that trips circuit breakers, implying that their mere presence or actions can have a disruptive effect. Despite these characteristics, the singer still feels a strong draw to them.
Overall, the lyrics suggest a relationship that is both intense and complicated, with a lot of emotional back-and-forth. Despite the ups and downs, the two seem unable to completely let go of each other, no matter how hard they may try.
