Flavor
Girls of Hawaii Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
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...
The lyrics of Girls of Hawaii's song Flavor seem to describe a certain feeling of detachment, an emotional disconnect that reflects the physical distance between two people who were once close. The persona describes how the subject has "spread" from their hands and drummed in their mind, suggesting a sense of loss of control and a preoccupation with thoughts of the other. The line "That's the only thing we can decide" implies a resigned acceptance of this reality, that despite the yearning there is nothing that can be done about it. The reference to sirens in the distance and the room of nowhere with its smells of gasoline and taste of chemistry paint a picture of an urban environment that is both chaotic and empty, further emphasizing this sense of disconnection and disorientation.
Overall, the lyrics of Flavor seem to be about the struggles of maintaining a relationship in the face of distance and change. The unfulfillment that comes with longing for someone who is not there and having the realization that the only thing they can do is wait and hope that things will eventually go their way. The lyrics paint a picture of a relationship that is strained by external factors and one that is difficult to reconnect.

Suddenly, you spread from my hands
Out of nowhere, I found myself holding onto you tightly
Far away, you've drummed in my mind
Although you are physically distant, you still occupy my thoughts consistently
That's the only thing we can decide
Despite the uncertainty of our situation, we can at least agree on one thing
Rest is down, somewhere the sirens are
Everything else is in chaos, perhaps in a dangerous or emergency situation
We arrived in the room of nowhere
We've found ourselves in a place that seems to lead nowhere
Smells of gasoline, taste of chemistry...
The air is thick with the sharp scent of fuel and there's a tangible tension between us
