ANÁLISIS | SIGNIFICADO

'Girl Afraid' by The Smiths tells the story of a girl and a boy who both feel insecure and unsure about the intentions of the person they are interested in. The girl is frustrated because the boy never really pays attention to her, despite her efforts to get noticed. She vows to never make the mistake of pursuing someone who doesn't appreciate her again. Similarly, the boy is hesitant to make a move on a girl he likes because he feels that she doesn't like him back, believing that everything she wants comes with a price tag. Both characters express their resolve to avoid making the same mistake of pursuing unrequited love in the future.
