Chili Town
Hinds Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Because you're deaf and blind
Don't try to reach my mind, collecting my fake card
You're out of town, man!
I am swimming in the dark
Cause all your friends are sharks
Keep fighting for your truth, amazing feelings juice
All I'm asking is you to make a move
All that I'm asking for is you to make a move!
I am stealing your cigars
Just cause they're closer than mine
You're having too much light, you're missing panties' clime
You're in my hands now
I am flirting with this guy
So you can watch my crimes
Saliva mixed with ice, your hat is oversized
You had a long night!
All I'm asking is you to make a move
All that I'm asking for is you to make a move!
I am touching without hands
Because your skin looks shy
Don't try to reach my mind, you're way too big inside
Come back to town, man!
I am flirting with this guy
Just to pretend I'm fine
Saliva mixed with lies, my laugh is oversized
Forever yours, right?
The lyrics of Hinds's song Chili Town speak to a complicated relationship where one partner seems to be playing games and testing the other's boundaries. The first verse mentions touching without hands because the partner is deaf and blind, implying a lack of communication and understanding. The second verse expands on this theme by comparing the partner's friends to sharks, suggesting that they are hostile and predatory. The chorus repeatedly asks the partner to make a move, indicating that they want some kind of action or commitment.
The third verse takes a more confrontational tone, with the singer stealing cigars and mocking their partner's "big" personality. They then flirt with another person in front of their partner, almost as if to prove a point or provoke a reaction. The final verse seems to shift back to a more tender tone, with the singer touching their partner without hands and expressing a desire for them to come back. However, this is immediately contradicted by the next line, which suggests that the flirting and lies will continue.
Overall, the lyrics of Chili Town paint a picture of a dysfunctional relationship where both parties are testing each other and struggling to communicate effectively. The singer is clearly frustrated by their partner's behavior but is also not above playing games themselves. The repeated request for the partner to make a move suggests a desire for clarity and resolution, but it remains unclear whether this relationship will ever reach a stable state.
