Overall Meaning

Björk's song "You've Been Flirting Again" is a beautiful and haunting piece about relationships and the importance of space and communication. The lyrics repeat the phrases "All that she said was true" and "All that she meant was good," highlighting the importance of listening and understanding in a romantic relationship. The repetition of these phrases serves as a reminder to the listener to take a step back and truly listen to their partner.


The chorus, "Give her some time, give her some space," drives home the importance of space in a relationship. Sometimes, the best thing we can do for our partner is to give them space and time to process their emotions, thoughts, and feelings. This is especially true when there is conflict or tension in the relationship, as it can lead to a clearer understanding of each other's perspectives. The final line, "How you reacted was right," highlights the importance of validating each other's emotions and reactions, even if we may not agree with them.

I adore this song. It soothes my anxiety somehow, like she’s giving me calming affirmations and patience

Already know🤠

@lifestyleimprovement101

Yes. Something to hold onto when your lover doesn't respond. She obviously needs space.

I use to listen to this when I discuss with my mom. It fits so damn well. I just can't avoid the way I react even knowing that her harsh words mean something good for me... We are so different, it's a hard relationship. Anyway, thank you, Björk, as always.
