“Minimal Affection” is a commentary on the difficulty of making real connections in an age of super-connectivity.
The Vaccines spoke about the song on their Facebook page:
Minimal affection was the first song I worked on with Cole when I met him in LA. We talked a lot about the difficulty I think...
[Intro]
[Verse 1]
In a world of minimal affection
Can you give yourself in a word
To a girl with a washed-out complexion
She's a mutual friend of ours
Anyone, anyone, anyone, anyone, anyone?
Is there anyone there?
You forget how to make a connection
When you've wanted one for so long
[Chorus]
Moving on
When you don't have a lot in common
When the world
If you don’t even know my name
[Verse 2]
What is life if not for affection?
Felt invisible, took too hard
Found an app, and drove to distraction
Is if everyone went away
Anyone, anyone, anyone, anyone, anyone?
Is there anyone there?
Fall back and into the quiet
Where I've wanted you for so long
[Chorus]
Moving on
When you don't have a lot in common
When the world
If you don’t even know my name
How am I supposed to hear you calling
If I can’t hear a word you say?
How am I supposed to hear you calling
If I can’t hear a word you say?
[Bridge]
[Chorus]
Moving on
When you don't have a lot in common
When the world
If you don’t even know my name
How am I supposed to hear you calling
If I can’t hear a word you say?
How am I supposed to hear you calling
If I can’t hear a word you say?
[Outro]
