Talking Body
Tove Lo Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Bed, stay in bed
The feeling of your skin locked in my head
Smoke smoke me broke
I don't care, I'm down for what you want
Day drunk into the night, wanna keep you here
'Cause you dry my tears
Yeah, summer loving and fights
How it is for us, and it's all because

Now if we're talking body
You got a perfect one, so put it on me
Swear it won't take you long
If you love me right
We fuck for life, on and on and on
Now if we're talking body
You got a perfect one, so put it on me
Swear it won't take you long
If you love me right
We fuck for life, on and on and on

Love can be love
Anything you want I'll give it up
Lips, lips I kiss
Bite me while I taste your fingertips
Day drunk into the night, wanna keep you here
'Cause you dry my tears
Yeah, summer loving and fights
How it is for us, and it's all because

Now if we're talking body
You got a perfect one, so put it on me
Swear it won't take you long
If you love me right
We fuck for life, on and on and on
Now if we're talking body
You got a perfect one, so put it on me
Swear it won't take you long
If you love me right
We fuck for life, on and on and on

Oh oh

Bodies
Oh baby make 'em bodies, we just use them for fun
Bodies
Let's use 'em up 'till every little piece is gone
Let's go! On and on and on
Let's go! On and on (let's go)

Oh now if we're talking body
You got a perfect one, so put it on me
Swear it won't take you long
If you love me right
We fuck for life, on and on and on
Ooh now if we're talking body
You got a perfect one, so put it on me
Swear it won't take you long
If you love me right
We fuck for life, on and on and on

We're talking body
Put it on me
If you love me right
We fuck for life, on and on and on

Now if we're talking body
You got a perfect one, so put it on me
Swear it won't take you long
If you love me right
We fuck for life, on and on and on

Overall Meaning

The lyrics to Tove Lo's "Talking Body" depict a physical and sexually charged relationship between two lovers. The song starts with the singer wanting to stay in bed and recapture the feeling of her lover's touch. She is willing to engage in these desires, even if it means losing herself to the experience by "smoking," or getting lost in their physical interaction. The singer is so consumed by her lover that she is day-drunk into the night, wanting to keep them there. Her lover is the one who dries her tears, despite the complications that may arise from their love.


The chorus "now if we're talking body" repeats throughout the song insinuating a conversation revolving around the physical aspect of their relationship. The singer acknowledges her lover's "perfect" body and invites them to "put it on me." The tempo speeds up during the bridge, emphasizing a wild and fun time before ending with the repeated chorus.


Overall, the lyrics portray a passionate but simplistic relationship that is grounded in physical attraction. It's wild and intense, but it is also short-lived and potentially damaging. While the song is clearly about sex and the physical, the lyrics could also relate to how people use others to fill a void, only to hurt themselves in the end.

A temporary filling of that void we all have… that’s nostalgia.
The wild part is that we remember things as if they filled us back then, but they didn’t. We were just as empty then.
The truth is that the hole we feel is the lack of God. We were made to worship our creator and to honor Him. Everything else we try to fill that hole with never works for long…
I do ponder whether this is actually hell and we are doomed to repeat the same life over and over forever, always feeling empty. The more sun and evil in our lives, the worse the punishment is for us, the worse we feel. Then at death, we just realize we’re going to repeat this life forever and that is heaven or hell depending on how you lived.
The kicker os that we know how our life is going to end even as kids. We just can’t put our finger on what it is we know.
You’ll come to realize that things you feared as a child were caused by things you did later in life.

On an lsd trip I “awoke” on the other side. I instantly knew I did something or figured something out I wasn’t supposed to. I could hear the souls of tormented people screaming “It’s a loop. It’s a loop. Break the loop!”

Years later during ketamine therapy I saw the other side again. I saw all of us trapped in these sarcophagi things with reality being fed into our minds like the matrix depicts. Everything in my life got worse and worse as I progressed in seeing things on that side.
Demonic entities were talking through me and saying all sorts of blasphemies that I didn’t realize were blasphemies. This included cursing God and saying “God damn this loop.” During I had no idea what it meant…

Now I realize the truth. Everyone is repeating their life forever, or until they wake up from the programming. Once you wake up, you’re on your last “life” and will be thrown into the lake of fire.

Study Prison Planet Theory. It is the ONLY theory of existence that literally answers every single question you could ever have about life, existence, religion, or God, without fail and without contradiction.

Seriously, I HATE that it’s true… I was a Christian for 20+ years until I saw the truth. I have spent a year trying to disprove it but the more I study, the more it solidifies itself as the only truth there is.
