Cover art for True Affection lyrics by Blow, The

I really like this song. It's catchy and it has good lyrics. I didn't really pay too much attention to what this song means until recently. This song describes my situation with a guy I was seeing to a perfect T and I will explain.

"I was out of your league and you were 20,000 underneath the sea, waving affections." -I was out of his league from the get-go, not just literally but figuratively too.

"You were out of my league at a distance that I didn't want to see down to the bottom." -He was mentally somewhere else than I was but I didn't know it.

"I wanted a junction and often there was one, you'd surface face first and we'd share our thought bubbles and I still believe in the phrases that we breathed but I know the distance isn't fair to cross." -We both had a lot in common and great chemistry and a natural attraction for each other, but we both weren't ready for a relationship so we compromised. I wanted to compromise and still see each other and do everything couples do without the official title and we made it work for a while. We would spend time together and talk about everything together. We shared a lot of things with each other and I meant what I said and I was always genuine with my feelings.

"Chorus" -And then it just goes on to explain how we were both on two separate wave lengths but didn't realize it and I didn't want to see gthe difference and wanted him to be close to me anyways.

"Your depths made a pressure that punctured my works and all your fluids couldn't tolerate the force of my thirst. I love the place where we shared our tiny grace But just because it's real don't mean it's gonna work." -To me this says that, he had a lot of emotional issues that extended far deeper than just on the surface and they negatively impacted my emotions as well. I had emotional needs that needed to be met and he wasn't meeting them and he didn't want to either. I miss the times and intimacy we shared together and exchanged feelings for each other. We had something real, but that doesn't mean it was going to work and it didn't.

"Chorus" -I still didn't want to see the emotional distance between us and I wanted to keep him close.

"And true affection floats. True affections sinks like a stone. I never felt so close. I never felt so all alone." -Our affection and feelings for each other were real and genuine and they worked for a while, but then when it was realized that we were both in different emotional states, our affection ended. I had such great chemistry with him and I had never felt so close to someone intimately before. But without my emotional needs being met and having that established commitment, it just left me feeling alone, very alone.

So take it from me, if you like someone and they like you and everything seems great and it could work out yet it can't, then just walk away and don't try to compromise and meet in the middle and make something work because even if it's real, it doesn't mean it will work.

My Interpretation

spot on!!!!!!!<3
