Chat Affair
Modern Love's Online Dilemma: A Chat Affair
Lyrics
God I need to stop to write this
Expressing a need to pause and write a message
Message
Referring to the message to be written
Maybe I'll take a walk to clear my mind
Considering taking a walk to clear thoughts
Thirty years old still a total mess yeah
Feeling disorganized despite being 30 years old
Can we meet so we can roll the dice
Requesting a meeting to take a chance or risk
Mama says go find a classy woman
Mother's advice: find a sophisticated partner
I don't wanna settle like my friends
Desire not to settle down like friends
They all have big smiles and empty eyes
Friends seem content superficially but lacking fulfillment
Wanna live my life on my own terms
Wishing to live life by personal standards
Yes we are so far
Feeling distant
We cannot touch
Physical touch not possible
They call it modern love and you
Terming the situation as "modern love" and addressing the listener
Say don't be dark
Advised against being negative or pessimistic
If you think it's just
Questioning if the listener sees it as just a casual online relationship
A Chat affair
Labeling the relationship as a "Chat affair"
Tell me why you're getting so offended
Asking why the listener is so upset
I'm here only tryin' to speak the truth
Asserting the intention to speak honestly
Online feelings they should be
Suggesting online feelings should be prohibited or avoided
Forbidden
Warning against positive outcomes from such online connections
Nothing good will come that way for you
Emphasizing the lack of positivity from online relationships
Yes we are so far
Reiteration of distance
We cannot touch
Reinforcing the inability to physically connect
They call it modern love and you
Reference to "modern love" and listener's response
Say don't be dark
Encouragement to avoid negativity or darkness
If you think it's just
Questioning the listener's perception of the relationship
A Chat affair
Terminology indicating the relationship as an affair confined to chat
Tell me would
Seeking belief in a promise or statement
you believe me
Questioning the listener's trust in a hypothetical claim
If I say that
Expressing a desire to go to great lengths for the listener
I'd get the moon
Hyperbolic statement about acquiring the impossible
To see you
Mentioning a casual meeting place
Down at Starbucks
Reiteration of the desire to do the impossible for the listener
Tell me would
Seeking belief in an improbable promise
you believe me
Expressing a desire to achieve the unattainable for the listener
If I say that
Hyperbolic statement about getting the impossible
I'd get the moon
Mentioning a casual meeting place, repeating the desire to do the impossible for the listener
To see you
Reiteration of the desire to achieve the unattainable for the listener
Down at Starbucks
Repeating the mention of a casual meeting place
