Talk to Strangers
TV Girl Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
And a handsome guy
She's sitting all alone
He's giving her the eye
They approach one another
They don't realize the danger
What will they say?
What do you think?
She'll crack another smile.
He'll buy another drink.
That isn't the important part
That happens later
You should've listened to your mother
Don't ever talk to strangers
Lust turns to boredom
Boredom to lust
Diminishing returns
With each and every thrust
The energy's preserved
Just coverted into anger
Don't take candy
Or get in someone's car
Don't let anybody touch you
No matter who they are
The police are at your door
Turns out the killer was your neighbour
He seemed like such a normal guy
A little quiet, nothing major
You should've lisntened to your mother
Don't ever talk to strangers
Don't ever talk to strangers
The lyrics of "Talk to Strangers" by TV Girl narrates a cautionary tale of two beautiful people who approached each other with lust and boredom, not realizing the danger that lies ahead when they allow their physical attraction to overcome their judgment. The hook of the song encourages the listener to heed the advice of their mother and never trust strangers. The song is devoid of judgment, but it paints a picture of the fleeting pleasures that come with indulging in carnal desires with someone you barely know or just met. The lyrics also describe the consequences of the actions you take, and how it could potentially lead to danger, anger, and a loss of innocence.
From a feminist perspective, the song exposes the dangers women could encounter when they agree to talk or flirt with a stranger. Moreover, it tells a story of how one's seemingly harmless actions can change their life course in unforeseen ways. Overall, the tone of the song is melancholic, with a subtle hint of humor that makes the cautionary tale more palatable to listeners.

There's a beautiful girl
A pretty young woman is present

He's giving her the eye
The man is showing interest in the girl
They approach one another
The two individuals move closer together
They don't realize the danger
Neither party is aware of the potential harm in the current situation
What will they say?
They wonder what words to use to start a conversation
What do you think?
One of them wants to know the other's opinion
She'll crack another smile.
The girl will present another smile to the man
He'll buy another drink.
The man will pay for an additional beverage
That isn't the important part

Further events occur following this moment
You should've listened to your mother
It would be wise to heed parental advice
Don't ever talk to strangers
Never engage with unfamiliar individuals
Lust turns to boredom
Desire fades into lack of interest
Boredom to lust
The lack of stimulation leads to renewed excitement
Diminishing returns
Each subsequent experience is less satisfying than the previous
With each and every thrust
The physical act of sex that follows
The energy's preserved
The effort exerted is not lost
Just coverted into anger
The retained power turns into the negative emotion of rage
Don't take candy
The confectionery offer should be refused
Or get in someone's car
Hitching a ride with a stranger is not safe
Don't let anybody touch you
No one should be permitted to make physical contact
No matter who they are
The identity of the person is irrelevant
The police are at your door
Law enforcement has arrived at your residence
Turns out the killer was your neighbour
The offender who committed the crime was living nearby
He seemed like such a normal guy
The perpetrator did not initially raise suspicion
A little quiet, nothing major
He appeared unremarkable and unassuming
