Flume Andrew Wyatt Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Something warm that I could say
But I admit it won't come
Somehow I don't care
Though I love the clothes she wears
And I love her body bare (bare)
So, I pray, I pray that it won't feel the same, andDon't think that I can't see it in your eyes
Darling yeah, we both knew it from the start
Some minds are better kept apart
Ohh, oh oh
Oh oh, oh oh
Oh oh oh
Oh oh oh oh
Here I pass the day in a most peculiar way
Watching ships out in the bay
And I swallow so hard
Am I too weak to fight?
As the day becomes the night
And I don't want to be right (right)
So, I pray, I pray that it won't feel the same, and
Don't think that I can't see it in your eyes
Darling yeah, we both knew it from the start
Some minds are better kept apart
I pray that it won't feel the same, and
Don't think that I can't see it in your eyes
Darling yeah, we both knew it from the start
Some minds are better kept apart
The lyrics of Flume Andrew Wyatt's song "Some Minds" express the anguish and confusion of a person trapped in a situation where they are in love with someone they know they shouldn't be with. The singer is waiting for something to change, for something to happen that will make it all okay. They love the physicality of the other person, but they're aware that it's not enough to sustain a relationship. The feeling of being trapped is palpable in the lines, "Somehow I don't care/Though I love the clothes she wears/And I love her body bare." The singer knows they should care more, they should want more, but they can't seem to stop themselves from being drawn in.
The chorus of the song expresses the singer's hope that something will change, but at the same time, their knowledge that it won't. They pray that the situation won't feel the same, that things will magically get better, but they know that they can see it in the other person's eyes that they both knew it from the start. The final line, "Some minds are better kept apart," is a statement of resignation, of acceptance that this situation cannot continue.
