Sexual Lifestyle
Strange Talk Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
We all want to play with you
Empty socks on the kitchen floor
As I had my way with you
But, your body's in high demand
So I skip the queue to uncover you
If I take you out to dry, would you roam the streets for another guy?
Show me why you desire
Chorus:
Your sexual lifestyle
It's taking off on it's own, now it's out of control
Your sexual lifestyle
Another name on the wall, another someone to call
Your sexual lifestyle
It's taking off on it's own, now it's out of control
Your sexual style
Another name on the wall, another someone to call
Looking back at the things that you said
When I had my hands on you
I can tell by the stare on your face as we look staring back at you
What goes around comes around and I ve learned one thing
That there's more to you
Show me why you desire
Show me why you desire
Chorus:
Your sexual lifestyle
It's taking off on it's own, now it's out of control
Your sexual lifestyle
Another name on the wall, another someone to call
Your sexual lifestyle
It's taking off on it's own, now it's out of control
Your sexual style
Another name on the wall, another someone to call
Show me why you desire
Show me why you desire
[2 x Chorus:]
The song "Sexual Lifestyle" by Strange Talk explores the idea of a person's sexual desires and the impact it can have on their life. The lyrics describe a situation where the singer is involved with someone who is exploring their sexual lifestyle by engaging in casual encounters with different partners. The lyrics suggest that this person is in high demand, sought after by many, and their behavior is getting out of control. The singer seems to be struggling with their feelings about the situation, wondering if the person they are with will continue to seek out other partners or if they will be satisfied with them.
The lyrics also touch on the idea of consequences and the idea that "what goes around comes around." The singer has learned that there is more to their partner than just their sexual desires and is asking them to show them why they desire them specifically. The chorus repeats the idea that the sexual lifestyle is taking on a life of its own, with new names added to the wall of partners and new people to call.

i love this song. great sound guys. im not making any judgements or anything, this is my opinion, but is it just me, or does 1:01-1:04 sort of sound like 'scary monsters & nice sprites'. like the chorus part where they speak fast in this song, sounds similar to the melody of sm&ns. either way, epic song. i was driving home from work this arvo & this was cranking in my car, on triple J, couldnt stop moving :D.
