Darin Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Just the other day
From her neck
I felt the very same aroma
She was dipped in that cologne
That you used to spray
I just frozed and realized
That you are gone now
Can't believe
That you and I are separated
Not living together
Remember when you said that night
That you and I would be forever
Reminiscing as the tissue
Wipe the tears away
Wonder if I'm gonna wake up
From this coma
That's when it hit me
Like a flashback
On how it used to be
When you and I were still in love
It hit me like a flashback
Something that reminded me
I can't believe that you are gone x2
I was driving past your
Neighborhood the other day
Couldn't help from
Staring at your open window
The I heard your favorite song
That you used to play
My whole world just crashed
Like a cymbal
Can't believe
That you and I are separated
Not living together
Remember when you said that night
That you and I would be forever
What I wouldn't do to have you
Coming back my way
Now I'm standing brokenhearted
Lost and single
That's when it hit me
Like a flashback
On how it used to be
When you and I were still in love
It hit me like a flashback
Something that reminded me
I can't believe that you are gone x2
Just like a time machine
Taking me back to yesterday
A million thoughts
Are running through my head
I think I'll go insane miss you so much
I'm going crazy crazy crazy
Feels like I stumble in a storm
And I can't find my way back
'Cause I just realized I lost
The most precious thing that I had
I'm going crazy crazy crazy
That's when it hit me
Like a flashback
On how it used to be
When you and I were still in love
It hit me like a flashback
Something that reminded me
I can't believe that you are gone x2
Darin's song "Flashback" is a powerful ballad about love and loss. The lyrics narrate the experience of the singer who comes across different reminders of his past relationship with a woman he still loves. As he struggles to come to terms with the fact that she is gone, he remembers the promises they made, the moments they shared, and the things about her that still linger in his memory. In the first verse, he smells the woman's perfume on someone else and freezes as he realizes that his love is no longer with him. In the second verse, he drives by her house and hears her favorite song, which makes him feel as if the world is crashing down. Both verses feature a similar pattern, with the singer reminiscing about the past, acknowledging the present reality of their separation, and expressing his pain and longing. The chorus repeats the phrase "That's when it hit me, like a flashback" and emphasizes the suddenness and intensity of his memories.
