Flavor
Girls in Hawaii Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Suddenly, you spread from my hands
Far away, you've drummed in my mind
That's the only thing we can decide
Rest is down, somewhere the sirens are
We arrived in the room of nowhere
Smells of gasoline, taste of chemistry...

Overall Meaning

In "Flavor" by Girls in Hawaii, the singer appears to be reflecting on the loss of something valuable to them. The first line, "Suddenly, you spread from my hands," suggests that whatever it is they have lost slipped away from them unexpectedly. It's unclear what this thing is or if it's a person or an object, but it seems to have left a lasting impact on the singer. The next line, "Far away, you've drummed in my mind," indicates that even though they are physically separated from this thing or person, it still remains a prominent thought in their head, almost like a constant pounding drumbeat. The lyrics then take a more philosophical turn with the line, "That's the only thing we can decide, rest is down." It seems to suggest that whatever happened with this thing is out of their control now and all they can do is accept it and move on. The following line, "Somewhere the sirens are," creates a sense of unease and chaos, perhaps reflective of the singer's emotional state after losing this thing. Lastly, "we arrived in the room of nowhere, smells of gasoline, taste of chemistry" creates a surreal image of being lost in an unfamiliar place with ambiguous, vaguely dangerous sensory cues.


Line by Line Meaning

Suddenly, you spread from my hands
You appeared unexpectedly and I found myself holding onto you tightly


Far away, you've drummed in my mind
You're constantly on my mind, even though you're physically distant


That's the only thing we can decide
Our connection is the only thing that we have control over


Rest is down, somewhere the sirens are
Everything else is chaotic and uncertain, like the sound of sirens in the distance


We arrived in the room of nowhere
We find ourselves lost and directionless in this situation


Smells of gasoline, taste of chemistry...
Our attraction to each other is intense and fiery, like the smell of gasoline and taste of chemistry
