And I Will Send Your Flowers Back
Hinds Lyrics

The lyrics of Hinds's song "And I Will Send Your Flowers Back" are about a relationship that has gone wrong. The singer is struggling to cope with the emotions of a break-up and tries to come to terms with what they're feeling. The first stanza talks about space in a physical sense, with "space" hitting the singer "in your face". But then the meaning shifts to the emotional space that the singer is dealing with. They haven't counted to five, which could indicate that they feel like they haven't had enough time to process what's happened. Despite this, they're not happy to just walk away from the relationship.

The second stanza repeats the idea of space, this time talking about it as a feeling in the heart, with space "ain't decreasing in my chest." The singer acknowledges that they have a few more nights left with their ex-lover and wonders why they're still drawn to them. The magnet metaphor suggests that their attraction is strong, but it's also painful, like a crash landing. The chorus repeats the idea that both the singer and their ex were looking for something that they failed to find in each other. The singer has now discovered that their ex left a "gap" in their chest, which is a poetic way of describing a broken heart.

The bridge talks about how the singer will deal with their emotions. Instead of trying to move on and forget about their ex, they'll "search for your soul". This reflects a deep desire to try and understand what went wrong and what they're feeling. The final line of the bridge repeats the idea that the singer is not happy to walk away from the relationship. The last verse repeats the idea of a "fucked up mess" and the singer's inability to count to five. This shows how overwhelming the emotions of a break-up can be. Despite all this, the singer is not happy to stay in the situation. The song concludes with the idea of what goes around comes around, implying that their ex will eventually experience the same pain they've caused the singer.
