Penetration
Iggy Pop / The Stooges Lyrics

The lyrics to Iggy Pop / The Stooges's song Penetration are sexual in nature and describe the desire for sexual penetration. Iggy Pop sings about how thrilled he gets when he is penetrated: "Penetrate me, I'm so fine, so fine, so fine, I get excited, I get excited." He is looking for a sexual partner and seems to be willing to go out every night to find one: "Every night outta town, I go now, go now, I pulsate." In the chorus, he repeats the word "penetration" in a somewhat desperate tone, as if begging for someone to come and take him: "Oh, come and take me, I'm alive, I'm alive, I'm alive, I'll stick it out, babe, I'll be all fine, every time, penetrate."

The lyrics are straightforward and leave little room for interpretation. This is not surprising given the punk rock genre of the song. The lyrics make it clear that the song is about sex and the human desire for physical pleasure. In this way, the lyrics are truthful and raw, capturing the intensity of sexual desire and the human need for connection.
