Keaton Henson：Meaning of So Hot You're Hurting My Feelings Songmeaning

The song So Hot You're Hurting My Feelings by Keaton Henson is about missing someone who is achieving great success in their career while the narrator is living a coast-to-coast life of hustle, but feeling lonely and longing for the person they miss. The lyrics express a feeling of being overwhelmed by the loved one's beauty, to the point where it hurts their feelings, and they can't handle it. The narrator is seen crying on the dance floor, and they request their partner not to send pictures as this aggravates their feeling of loneliness. The song's title refers to the lover's attractiveness being so extreme that it causes emotional pain. The chorus repeats an entreaty for their lover to "show me the banana," which is a bit inexplicable but seems to mean something like "give me a sign of affection." Overall, the song laments the distance and longing between the narrator and their partner and the impact of love and beauty on the emotions.
