Good Time Girl
Sofi Tukker Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
I tried not to think about it, so it came back louder
I think it's been about a year since I became a snob
Decided not to play along, so it grew bigger
Me and my head have become very, very, very close
We decided not to tell you, to tell you about it
We're just gonna play it safe
Play it cool, lay it low
Not tell you about it
And here I am playing by myself
Me and my superiority complex
And here I am playing by myself
Me and my inferiority contest
I'm not winning, but I'm having a very good time
You can call me, you can call me
You can call me the good time girl
When I said it out loud, it didn't sound as good
I couldn't be as proud of my original thought
I'm not trying to whisper what should be pop
But I can't imagine being out of control
I knocked off the top, my head and I
When I'm all alone but I'm in my prime
Don't want the throne when I'm doing just fine
Just as long as I'm having a real good time
Me and my head have become very, very, very close
We decided not to tell you, to tell you about it
We're just gonna play it safe
Do what we know
Play it cool, lay it low
Not tell you about it
And here I am playing by myself
Me and my superiority complex
And here I am playing by myself
Me and my inferiority contest
I'm not winning, but I'm having a very good time
You can call me, you can call me
You can call me the good time girl
The lyrics of Good Time Girl suggest a narrative of a person who has retreated inwardly into their thoughts as a means of self-preservation. The singer mentions that they decided to become a snob, which suggests an active choice to distance themselves from others. They became proud of their ideas but were afraid of losing control, so they played it safe and remained in their own head.
The repeated phrase "me and my head have become very close" creates an image of someone who has become detached from reality and has found refuge in their own mind. The singer implies that they don't want to deal with the judgments of others and seek validation through their own self-indulgence. The lines "me and my superiority complex" and "me and my inferiority contest" reveal the internal struggle of the singer with their own ego.
The chorus, "You can call me the good time girl," can be seen as a form of self-actualization where the singer has come to accept their own behavior and finds pleasure in their ability to enjoy themselves without the need for external validation.
Overall, the song is a commentary on the dangers of retreating into oneself and the importance of maintaining healthy human connections.

As long as I am enjoying myself, everything is alright

Many congratulations on the intro song for "The New Pope". From your early and fabulous beginnings with "Drinkee" (which I listened to endlessly) to nailing international acclaim with HBO's monster hit series, you have certainly cemented your place among the freshest of "New Music" creators. Best Wishes to you both!
