Affection

The All-American Rejects

Transposer:

I always wonder where you are I’m right beside you you’re so far away One moment you’re not facing me one moment you’re not chasing me I don’t believe in good goodbyes ’Cause even when the roses die there’s still some thorns left in your side It’s like a funeral for the bride And I know candy girls yeah they just rot your teeth But I’ve always been such a sucker for sweets I need affection All I want right now is affection I don’t mean to point your direction Girl it’s not what you do what you don’t do makes me have to talk to you about affection I need affection Mmmhmmhmmhmm (Same Chords) Somewhere alone is when I died On the banks of some canal yeah the river bed of tears I tried to hide Even fools will believe in lies And if every word you ever said were true You’d be my God and I’d just pray to you For affection All I want right now is affection I don’t mean to make a confession Girl it’s not what you do what you don’t do makes a man come on blue No affection I need affection Why won’t you dance with me? (Covered in gas and you couldn’t catch fire) There’s no more romance with me (I know there’s someone else burning your eyes) You don’t think I see you but I see right through you baby (Chorus Chords) Woah Affection! (Affection!) All I wanted was affection (Affection!) All I needed was affection What you do? (What you do) What you do? (What what you do?) Affection! Yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah. You don’t think I see you I see right through you You don’t think I see you but I do

Cette chanson évoque le désir profond d'affection et la douleur de la distance émotionnelle. Le narrateur se sent déchiré entre sa quête de connexion et le sentiment de solitude, n’acceptant pas les séparations définitives. Même lorsque les moments de tendresse semblent perdus, il reste attaché à l'idée d'un lien fort, malgré les blessures qui peuvent en résulter. Le contexte est celui d'une relation où les sentiments sont ambivalents, avec des instants de complicité mêlés à des incompréhensions. Le protagoniste se rend compte qu’il a besoin d'amour et de réconfort, tout en confrontant la réalité des déceptions. Cette lutte entre l'espoir et la désillusion est au cœur de ses réflexions, exprimant ainsi un besoin vital d'affection.
