State of the Art Affair
Unveiling the Profound Emotions in "State of the Art Affair" by Not the Band
Lyrics
You seem to lack the common touch
You appear to lack a common, relatable demeanor
But this old heart don't expect much
This aging heart doesn't anticipate much
Just a bit of class when we run out of gas
Desiring a touch of elegance when facing difficulties or challenges on the journey through life
On the highway of time
Metaphorical reference to facing challenges on the journey through life
Spiritual life
Referring to a spiritual aspect of life
Spiritual wife
Alluding to a spiritual connection with a partner
Nothing but spiders trickling up my spine
Feeling uneasy or disturbed, likened to spiders crawling up the spine
Cold feet
Experiencing hesitation or uncertainty
Cold lust
Experiencing a lack of warmth or passion
One to love but nobody to trust
Having someone to love but lacking trust in them
This state-of-the-art affair has left me bleeding roses
The advanced and sophisticated relationship has caused emotional pain, symbolized by bleeding roses
Another door closes on this state-of-the-art affair
A metaphorical depiction of closure in the complex relationship
I saw the Devil in your eyes
Observing deceit or dishonesty in someone's eyes
He must have told you lots of lies
Suggesting that the person has been misled by the Devil
Come sit with me, and I'll make you see
Inviting the person to sit and gain a new perspective
That you always go too far
Highlighting a tendency to go beyond reasonable limits
Spiritual hearts
Referring to a spiritual or emotional aspect of hearts
Spiritual parts
Alluding to emotional components of a person
Nothing but old clashes giving new scars
Old conflicts leading to new emotional wounds
Cold hands
Experiencing a lack of warmth or passion in relationships
Cold love
Cold or distant love
One to hate but nowhere to go
Loving someone but feeling lost or without direction
This state-of-the-art affair has left me bleeding roses
The sophisticated relationship has caused emotional pain, echoed by bleeding roses
Another door closes on this state-of-the-art affair
Symbolic reference to the end of a complex relationship
Living in the postlude of a hurricane
Living in the aftermath or aftermath of a turbulent experience
Waves of anguish rippling through my brain
Emotional turmoil affecting the mind
This state-of-the-art affair has left me bleeding roses
The advanced and sophisticated relationship has caused emotional pain, symbolized by bleeding roses
Another door closes on this state-of-the-art affair
Symbolic reference to the closure of a complex relationship
This state-of-the-art affair
Reiteration of the emotional pain caused by the sophisticated relationship
