Embracing the Unfeeling: Morrissey's Ode to Paris

Morrissey's song "I'm Throwing My Arms Around Paris" is a poignant exploration of loneliness and unrequited love. The lyrics convey a deep sense of isolation, as the narrator finds himself devoid of human connection and affection. In the absence of love and touch, he turns to the city of Paris, symbolizing it as a steadfast and unyielding entity that can accept his love. The choice of Paris is significant, as the city is often romanticized as the city of love, yet here it is depicted as a cold, unfeeling recipient of the narrator's emotions.
