Current Affairs Lyrics

[Verse 1: Lorde]
Knew when I felt it hit
Stood in the park under the eclipse
It was only a field trip
Till it cooled my blood
That's how it tends to start
You're in the light, then you're in the dark
Then someone throws a flare
You tasted my underwear
I knew we were fucked

[Chorus: Lorde]
My bed is on fire
Mama, I'm so scared
Don't know how to come back
Once I get out on the edge
He spit in my mouth like
He's saying a prayer
But now I'm crying on the phone
Swearing nothing's wrong
Blame it on

[Refrain: Lorde & Dexta Daps]
Current affairs
(Girl, your pussy good, it grip me good a me fi tell you)
Current affairs
(Girl, your pussy good, it grip me good a me fi tell you)

[Verse 2: Lorde & Dexta Daps]
All alone in my room
Watching the tape of their honeymoon
On the boat, it was pure and true
Then the film came out
Hope that we can ignore
Voices we hear through the open door
Would you dive to the ocean floor
Just to take my pearl?

[Chorus: Lorde]
'Cause my bed is on fire ('Cause my bed is on fire)
Mama, I'm so scared (Mama, I'm so scared)
Were you ever like this (Were you ever like this?)
Once you went out on the edge?
He spit in my mouth like
He's saying a prayer
But now I'm crying on the phone
Swearing nothing's wrong
Blame it on

[Bridge: Lorde]
Current affairs (Affairs)
But now I'm high enough to know (Affairs)
Yeah, I think he's gone, blame it on

[Refrain: Lorde & Dexta Daps]
Current affair-air-airs
(Girl, your pussy good, it grip me good a me fi tell you)
Current affair-airs
(Girl, your pussy good, it grip me good a me fi tell you)

[Outro: Lorde]
Current affairs

Current Affairs Song Meaning

Lorde's song "Current Affairs" from her album Virgin explores themes of passion, fear, and emotional turmoil in a turbulent relationship. The lyrics paint a vivid picture of intense, almost destructive intimacy—moments of ecstasy ("He spit in my mouth like he's saying a prayer") clashing with vulnerability ("Mama, I'm so scared"). The refrain, featuring Dexta Daps, adds a raw, sensual edge with explicit lines contrasting Lorde’s haunting reflections. The song shifts between dark imagery (a burning bed, an eclipse) and desperate attempts to downplay the chaos ("Swearing nothing's wrong, blame it on current affairs"). It’s a messy, visceral take on love as something both intoxicating and unsettling, where pleasure and pain blur. Lorde’s signature poetic style meets gritty realism, making it a standout track about the highs and lows of modern romance.
