Romance
Fluxx & Lola Lyrics

The lyrics to Fluxx & Lola's song "Romance" speak of the desire for the superficial and fleeting nature of love and relationships. The singer recognizes that their relationship with their partner is not strong, and they may be lying to each other about their feelings. Regardless, the singer wants their partner to tell them that they love them, even if it is a lie. They want to escape from the monotony of their lives and crave some excitement and beauty, even if it is superficial. They yearn for chemical pleasures to dull the boredom of their brains and eliminate their look of tiredness. The singer wants their life to resemble a perfect film, and they desperately seek romance to fill their emptiness.

The song "Romance" highlights the superficiality of contemporary relationships, where even the most basic human emotions - love - are either simulated or covered in a veil of uncertainty. It's a frank portrayal of toxic relationships that are built on lies and lack of affection. It shows how people try to escape the harsh realities of their relationships by indulging in temporary pleasures like chemistry and plastic beauty, as an escape from their mundane lives. Similar to their previous works, Fluxx & Lola have succeeded in adding a new and interesting perspective to our understanding of romance in the 21st century.
