PARAMOUR (feat. AURORA)

The song 'PARAMOUR' by Sub Urban, featuring AURORA, delves into the complexities of a relationship that is seemingly affected by the influence of a disapproving father figure. The lyrics suggest a narrative where the singer is in a relationship with a woman whose father does not fully understand or accept their love. The term 'paramour' itself refers to a lover, especially the illicit partner of a married person, which hints at a forbidden or secretive aspect to the relationship.

The repeated questioning of the father's goodness and understanding sets a tone of conflict. The father's invasive nature and the pressure it puts on the daughter, who is described as the singer's savior, indicates a struggle between the desire for autonomy in the relationship and the controlling influence of the father. The singer does not want to force the daughter to choose between him and her father, suggesting a respect for her autonomy, yet there is a clear tension between the singer's wish to live freely and the father's interference.

The chorus, with its catchy 'Dum-dum-ditty' refrain, contrasts the heavy emotional content with a lighter, almost playful melody. This could represent the singer's attempt to maintain a sense of normalcy and detachment in the face of a difficult situation. The repetition of 'daddy, don't' is a plea for the father to refrain from making them leave or to allow the relationship to continue without his intrusion. The song captures the emotional turmoil of being in a relationship that is under the scrutiny and control of an external authority figure.
