The meaning of the lyrics of the song "Distractions" by the artist "Zero 7"

Contents

In Zero 7's song "Distractions," the female narrator uses humor and sarcasm to mask her true feelings – a fear of commitment.

She paints two caricatured pictures of an "ideal life":

Family Idyll: A big house, children, a horse – all the trappings of the "American dream." But behind this image lies a fear of routine, loss of freedom, and possibly a painful divorce.

Life of Luxury: A fast car, a bag full of cash – symbols of material wealth. With bitter irony, the heroine predicts that wealth will be followed by dishonest ways of obtaining it.

Both pictures reflect not so much the heroine's desires as her fears. She is afraid that the "fairy tale" will turn into disappointment, and wealth – into moral degradation.

The repeated phrase "I love you" sounds insincere, like a mantra behind which the heroine tries to hide from the truth – from her own fear of love and commitment. She confesses: "I'm only joking just to distract myself from the truth."

Fancy a big house

Some kids and a horse

I can not quite, but nearly

Guarantee, a divorce

I think that I love you

I think that I do

So go on mister, make Miss me Mrs you.

I love you, I love you, I love you, I do

I only make jokes to distract myself

From the truth, from the truth.

Fancy a fast car

A bag full of loot

I can nearly guarantee

You'll end up with the boot

I love you, I love you, I love you , I do

I only make jokes to distract myself

From the truth, from the truth.

I love you, I love you, I love you , I do

I only make jokes to distract myself

From the truth, from the truth.
