Affection
Cigarettes After Sex Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Then again, sometimes I get really sweet, so
What does it mean if I tell you to go fuck yourself
Or if I say that you're beautiful to me?
It's affection, always
Ooh, you gonna see it someday
My attention for you
Sometimes we talk all night long, we don't shut up
And when it's late we'll say we're still wide awake so
We love to talk about how you'll come up to visit me
And we'll rent a car and we'll drive upstate
It's affection, always
Ooh, you gonna see it someday
My attention's on you
Even if it's not what you need
I think of you, I want you too
I'd fall for you
I think of you, I want you too
I'd fall for you
I think of you, I want you too
I'd fall for you
I think of you, I want you too
I'd fall for you
It's affection, always
It's affection, always
The lyrics of Cigarettes After Sex's song Affection describe a complex relationship where the singer struggles with his emotions towards his partner. The first verse explores the duality of his personality, acknowledging that he can be both mean and sweet while under the influence of alcohol. This ambiguity is also highlighted by his seemingly contradictory statements of telling his partner to go away while also expressing his admiration for her physical beauty. These contrasting feelings are confusing to the partner and unclear to the singer himself, which is why the repetition of the phrase "it's affection, always" helps to reinforce the notion that his behavior comes from a place of love.
The second verse delves into the shared experiences between the singer and his partner. They often have long conversations that last throughout the night, discussing plans for the future such as visiting each other or going on road trips. The singer's attention is fully on his partner even if it's not what she needs, which could imply that she might be looking for something more from the relationship than just affection. The chorus repeats again, emphasizing how the singer's feelings are constant and unchanging towards his partner.
Overall, the lyrics of Affection highlight the difficulties of navigating emotions in a romantic relationship, especially when there are conflicting feelings involved. The repetition of the phrase "it's affection, always" reinforces the idea that love is at the core of the relationship, despite any challenges that may arise.
