Barefoot Tonight
Miss Kittin Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Wearing shoes too high for me
Don't need them to be a lady
And kick some ass barefoot tonight
Shout!
Got my finger on the trigger
Plug it in my batfuzz pedal
To kick some ass barefoot tonight
Foot switch operation I am proud to be a modern girl
Who's not ashamed in guitar shops
Walking down the streets with a leppard raincoat
No mercy for your ears I am riding free 1,2,3,4
I am ready to kick some ass barefoot tonight
Shout! (x3)
The lyrics of Miss Kittin's song Barefoot Tonight seem to describe a female musician or performer preparing for a show. The first verse suggests that she is wearing incredibly high heels, but ultimately decides to perform barefoot. This could be interpreted as her rejecting gender stereotypes, and choosing comfort over aesthetics. The chorus encourages her to shout and let her voice be heard, possibly as a statement of empowerment or defiance. The second verse describes her technical setup, including a batfuzz pedal and foot switch operation, which could imply that she is a skilled and knowledgeable musician. The final line of the verse, "riding free 1,2,3,4," further emphasizes her freedom and confidence in her ability to rock the show. Overall, the song can be seen as a celebration of female musicianship and individuality, rejecting traditional gender roles and embracing a raw, powerful sound.

Show time get on stage
It's time to go on stage and perform
Wearing shoes too high for me
I am wearing shoes that are too uncomfortable for me
Don't need them to be a lady
Being a lady does not require me to wear uncomfortable shoes
And kick some ass barefoot tonight
I will perform with confidence and strength without shoes
Got my finger on the trigger
I am ready to perform and give it my all
I start to SHOUT in the microphone
I begin to sing out loud and with passion into the microphone
Plug it in my batfuzz pedal
I plug in my guitar pedal to enhance my sound
To kick some ass barefoot tonight
I will confidently and boldly perform without shoes
Foot switch operation I am proud to be a modern girl
I am proud to have the skills and equipment to perform well
Who's not ashamed in guitar shops
I am not intimidated by male-dominated environments such as guitar shops
Walking down the streets with a leopard raincoat
I am confident in my personal style and appearance
No mercy for your ears I am riding free 1,2,3,4
I will perform with passion and energy and not hold back
I am ready to kick some ass barefoot tonight
I am fully prepared to perform with strength and confidence without shoes
Shout! (x3)
An expression of passion and energy for the performance
