What they say
What they say
What they say when you′re not around
And a little girl should be careful
When those boys start playing too rough
Well who′s gonna save her? Ooh...
Remember your safeword
Remember your safeword
Remember your safeword
Ooh, remember your safeword
And it's a dull, dull world where you need to manufacture some action
She'll take you home, tie you up, and slap ya
Without even askin′
And all the clamps and whips in Los Angeles
Couldn′t faze her
So if you really wanna see her in pain
Just wait until later
Ooh, remember your safeword
Remember your safeword
Remember your safeword
Ooh, remember your safeword
And if everything could come to a stop just for something she says
I thought the whole point was you were living on the edge
So when those sounds start to drift down the hall
And start to freak out the neighbors
Remember that it's good, clean, fun,
Just wholesome delinquent behavior
Ooh, remember your safeword
Remember your safeword
Remember your safeword
Ooh, remember your safeword
Remember your safeword
Remember your safeword
The lyrics to TV Girl's song Safeword are a meditation on the idea of sexual boundaries and how to navigate them in a culture that often encourages reckless behavior. The first stanza sets up a sense of danger and vulnerability, with the singer warning that "a little girl should be careful" but also questioning who should protect her from harm. This sets up the theme of the song, which is about being aware of one's own limits and protecting oneself from unwanted or dangerous situations.
The chorus, "Remember your safeword," reinforces the idea that the singer is advocating for a conscious and mindful approach to sexual exploration. The phrase "safeword" is often used in BDSM (bondage, dominance, sadism, and masochism) practices as a way for a submissive partner to communicate when they have reached their limit and want the activity to stop. The singer is suggesting that everyone should have their own internal safeword, a way to communicate their boundaries and protect themselves from harm.
The second verse speaks to the idea that sexual exploration can be thrilling but also potentially dangerous. The singer warns that even in a place like Los Angeles, known for its liberal attitudes towards sex, you still need to be careful. The lines "And if everything could come to a stop just for something she says / I thought the whole point was you were living on the edge" suggest that the singer is critical of a culture that encourages people to push their limits to dangerous extremes. The final chorus reinforces the message that being aware of one's own limits and communicating them is essential to safe and healthy sexual exploration.

Remember your safeword
Recall the designated word to stop an activity in case of discomfort or injury

Remember your safeword
Recall the designated word to stop an activity in case of discomfort or injury
Ooh, remember your safeword
Emphasis on the importance of the safeword
And it's a dull, dull world where you need to manufacture some action
The world can feel unsatisfying, making you create excitement that may be risky
She'll take you home, tie you up, and slap ya
She will engage in BDSM activities with you
Without even askin'
Without seeking your consent
And all the clamps and whips in Los Angeles
A hyperbolic reference to the abundance of BDSM paraphernalia in LA
Couldn't faze her
It does not intimidate her
So if you really wanna see her in pain
If pain is what you desire to see in her
Just wait until later
Wait till the time is right to engage in BDSM activities
And if everything could come to a stop just for something she says
If everything revolves around her and her desires
I thought the whole point was you were living on the edge
The idea of taking risks and living dangerously
So when those sounds start to drift down the hall
When noises from the BDSM activities can be heard by others
And start to freak out the neighbors
When the neighbors become scared or fearful
Remember that it's good, clean, fun,
It's a harmless and enjoyable pastime
Just wholesome delinquent behavior
An ironic, detached justification of their illicit actions
Ooh, remember your safeword
A final reminder to prioritize safety and consent during BDSM activities
Remember your safeword
A final reminder to prioritize safety and consent during BDSM activities
Remember your safeword
A final reminder to prioritize safety and consent during BDSM activities
