Warts
Hinds Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
It just started with a joke
She's pretending to be witty
But you are laughing with a frown
She acts too crazy
Absurdly wild
Always ready for a winky
She always burns her warts
Don't let her waste your smile
Don't let her curse your eyes
Don't let her waste your smile
Don't let her curse your eyes
She's becoming black and agile
She's gonna bit you bad
You pretend you are resistant
But she's wiser than a cat
And you innocent tender
But she's not a lover mind
She has more names to moan
But you only hear, ba-da-ba-da-ba-ba-ba
Don't let her waste your smile
Don't let her curse your eyes
Don't let her waste your smile
Don't let her curse your eyes
Ba-da-ba-da-ba-ba-ba...
The lyrics of Hinds's song Warts talk about a relationship that initially started as a friendship or just joking around but has now turned into something more complicated. The woman in the song seems to be pretending to be witty and make jokes, but the man is not really enjoying them. She acts absurdly wild and always tries to be flirtatious, but it's not working. The line "She always burns her warts" can be interpreted as a metaphor for how she always messes things up or makes things worse in the relationship.
As the song progresses, the lyrics suggest that the man is becoming more aware of how toxic the woman's behaviour is becoming. She's becoming black and agile, which implies that she's manipulative and dangerous. The man tries to resist her charms, but she's smarter than he originally thought. The phrase "But you innocent tender, but she's not a lover mind" implies that despite his naivety and innocence, he's beginning to realise that she's not a genuine lover or friend. The last few lines of the song repeat the message "Don't let her waste your smile, don't let her curse your eyes" which implies that the man needs to be careful and not let this woman ruin his happiness or vision for the future.
Overall, the song Warts by Hinds is a warning about how toxic relationships can develop and how important it is to be aware of the people around us. The lyrics use vivid imagery and metaphors to convey the message in a relatable and memorable way.

People need to understand that the vocals from Hinds are part of their genre. Not every band/artist need to have perfectly pitched voices to create incredible music

all the people complaining about their voices clearly dont get that that's their style, if they're voices were 'technically' perfect it would sound like a completely different band - i personally think the way they're all singing the same notes and their voices are melding is really unique and cool and totally suits them :) love the song, keep it up Hinds!!

@123molj321 was that in a way to insult them? "Its really not that deep"
Nelson Roman
its their style but it is not working in English, sorry. Sounds fake because obviously is not their native language. Why not adding more reverb, so it sounds like acid on an echo chamber studio? It needs more effects...their voices needs more work at the studio or get another engineer that can get the results they are looking for. I like the style, but its either the language or the Mix that is not cutting for me...I hope the best for them
