In Topic & A7S's "Turn Me On," the lyrics navigate the complex emotions tied to love, trust, and desire, embodied in a conversation between the singer and a potential partner. The opening lines establish a critical foundation: the singer expresses a sense of frustration and a desire for mutual appreciation in the relationship. Phrases like "If you knew better boy, you would do better" underline the singer's belief that the partner's lack of reciprocation is indicative of a deeper misunderstanding of their connection. The singer is aware of their superior capacity for love and urges the partner to recognize their potential. This sentiment poignantly highlights a common relational predicament where one party is more invested than the other, leading to a longing for a more balanced emotional exchange.
The chorus introduces an essential theme of curiosity and suspicion regarding the motives of the partner. The repeated questioning of “what’s your motive?” reveals a hesitation to fully commit without clarity on the other person's intentions. This introspection leads to an exploration of excitement mixed with wariness, as the singer notes how the partner seems to desire them subtly. The line "I admit it’s exciting, parts of me kinda like it" encapsulates a thrilling yet apprehensive sentiment. The singer enjoys the flirtation and attention but is conscious of the potential for disappointment should the partner's true intentions not align with their promises. This duality suggests a healthy skepticism about romantic advances that lack transparency.
As the song progresses, the singer's tone becomes more assertive, calling out the avoidance of honest communication. The line "I could call bullshit out from a mile away" signals a determined self-awareness and a refusal to tolerate insincerity. The singer expects honesty, urging their partner to "say what you mean" to cultivate a genuine romantic connection. This reflects a desire for authenticity in romance, demonstrating that while attraction may have sparked something between them, it must be founded on mutual respect and open dialogue. It’s a powerful reminder that trust is built on clear communication, and the singer is not willing to settle for anything less.
The latter part of the song further deepens the exploration of motives, questioning whether the partner genuinely values the singer or is merely seeking superficial validation. The imagery of being treated "like gold" yet possibly used as a trophy evokes a sense of being cherished but also objectified. There's a palpable tension between the desire for affection and the need for respect and sincerity. The repeated calls for clarity and commitment send a strong message about the singer's values within relationships. Ultimately, the song conveys a clear narrative: love cannot flourish without trust, honesty, and genuine intentions, urging listeners to reflect on the foundations of their romantic ties and the importance of understanding each other’s true motives.
