Sex To Me

Charlotte Cardin's song 'Sex To Me' delves into the complexities and boundaries of casual relationships. The lyrics reveal a narrative where one party is clear about the nature of their relationship, emphasizing that it is purely physical. The repeated line, 'It's just sex to me,' underscores the singer's stance on keeping emotional distance and avoiding deeper connections. This sentiment is further highlighted by the lines, 'You don't know me / You don't know nothin' 'bout the things I need,' which suggest a lack of emotional intimacy and understanding between the two individuals.

The song also touches on the potential misunderstandings and complications that can arise in such relationships. The lyrics, 'Dum-dum-dumb, I ain't dumb, I can see you / Come-come-come-come-coming up with ideas,' indicate that the other person might be developing feelings or expectations beyond the agreed-upon terms. Cardin's assertive tone in lines like, 'You're out of luck, baby, I might deceive ya,' reflects a defensive stance, possibly to protect herself from unwanted emotional entanglements.

Cultural references, such as 'Now this conversation ruined all our fifty shades,' playfully nod to the popular 'Fifty Shades' series, known for its exploration of complex sexual relationships. This reference adds a layer of irony, suggesting that even in a world where such dynamics are explored, clear communication and boundaries are still crucial. The song's playful yet firm tone, combined with its catchy rhythm, makes it a compelling exploration of modern relationships and the importance of understanding and respecting each other's boundaries.
