Affection
Fiji Blue Lyrics

Look up at the sky
Feeling lost and alone, the singer looks to the vastness of the sky - symbolic of endless possibility and wonder - for answers.

Ask it why are you also afraid
Wondering if even the sky, a seemingly fearless and untouchable force, has its own fears and doubts.

Never thought that I
The singer reflects on their past mindset, implying that they were once naive or unaware.

Could describe such a lonelier place
Indicates that the artist is experiencing an intense level of isolation, one that they never imagined could exist.

Now there's all this space
Following the loss of affection, the artist searches for comfort and security but instead finds only emptiness.

Nothing can replace
The singer acknowledges the gravity of the loss and recognizes that no amount of time or distance can fill the void created by it.

Letting go of you
Refers to the end of a romantic relationship, indicating that the singer was the one who ended it.

Was my one mistake
Implies that the artist regrets letting go of their partner and now recognizes it as a pivotal moment of misjudgment.

Counting every day
The artist is consumed by their love and constantly thinks about it, yearning for its return.

No, I'm not okay, yeah
Admits that their loss has impacted their emotional and mental state.

I just wanna say
The singer wants to express their feelings and speak honestly about their pain.

I need affection
The artist states the root of their pain: the loss of affection, love, and intimacy.

Doesn't matter what you say
No matter what the other person - most likely the ex-partner - may say or argue, it won't change the singer's need for affection.

'Cause now that I don't have it
Not having affection has made the singer acutely aware of how much they depended on it and how much it shaped their life and identity.

I only miss it every day
The singer's longing for affection never wanes and is a constant pain that they must endure.

Ask it why are you always so far
Like before, the artist turns to the sky, this time questioning why love and affection always seem so distant and unattainable.

Never thought that I needed light
The artist realizes that they were once blind to their own needs and how integral affection was to their happiness.

Just to see in the dark
The singer now recognizes how much love illuminated their life and was essential to navigating difficult or trying times.
