| The Blow – True Affection Lyrics | 15 years ago |
|
My interpretation, based on how the song fits me today: The two live in different worlds, governed by separate psychologies; one above, one below. They are brought together by the true affection they happen to share, and only by that. "You" lives in a deep, heavy, uniquely depressive place. "I" views him from above, and is attracted to the art of a world unlike her own. "I" has a thirst to learn about "You"s world below, but does not go there herself, so "You" travels the significant distance in between; all the way to the surface. At the surface, the two can communicate their thoughts, love each other, and share their true affections. Sadly, the reality of their union is that "You" must eventually return to his depths, and it is a place that "I" cannot reach. The tragedy is how neither wanted to believe in the distance separating their dispositions; The beauty is the success of their coming together, if only long enough to see truth before parting again. |
