Hinds Lyrics

Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴

I'd rather be fast, I'd rather be fast
(Whatever makes you happy makes me fine)

Why do you always have to lie?
I knew you were rich cause I needed it dry
And you needed a breath cause you were out tonight
You're on the line
I seen you waving goodbye
I seen you waving goodbye
The piece you left me
I miss you in the night

High salt level, cries for triple
And sailors started to shot
Fat calmed kiddos, touching all your pillows
You can't run, you can't hide
Saving you, my love, could work
I can't touch the mysticism of your lies
You're not supposed to catch the signs
(Texting me while you were drunken)
But I don't mind, I don't mind
(Whatever makes you happy makes me fine)

Oh why are you always on my mind?
I needed a risk cause I needed to try
And I needed a breath cause you were out tonight
You're on my mind
I seen you waving goodbye
But if you thing that I would cry
I'm only saying
Please don't leave me
Please don't leave me

Please don't leave me
Please don't leave me

Overall Meaning

In "Fat Calmed Kiddos," Hinds explores the emotional turmoil of a complicated relationship. The lyrics suggest that the singer and their partner have a tumultuous history, with their partner frequently lying and causing trouble. The opening lines are particularly poignant, with the singer admitting that their dreams have become haunted and they feel stuck in a state of limbo, only able to endure "half in time." Despite the constant frustration and hurt, there is a sense of resigned acceptance in the singer's voice. They declare that whatever makes their partner happy is fine, even if it ultimately leads to their own unhappiness.

The middle section of the song shifts to a more surreal and ambiguous tone, with references to sailors shooting and "fat calmed kiddos" touching pillows. It's unclear what these images mean, but they serve to heighten the sense of tension and unease. The singer once again expresses their love for their partner and a desire to save them, but they acknowledge that the relationship is built on lies and mysticism that they can't fully grasp.

The final lines of the song are a plea for their partner not to leave. Despite everything, the singer is still deeply attached and doesn't want to be alone. The repetition of "please don't leave me" drives home the emotional intensity of the song.

Overall, "Fat Calmed Kiddos" is a powerful exploration of the complexities and contradictions of love. It's a testament to Hinds's skill as songwriters that they're able to convey so much depth and nuance in just a few simple verses.

Line by Line Meaning

Dreams keep haunting, dreams stop growing
I can't stop thinking about you, but my feelings for you are not progressing

Endures half in time
I am stuck in a state of emotional limbo

Lips still hurting and my fears doesn't know it
I am in pain and afraid, but I am hiding it well

You slept here for ten last night
You stayed over last night until the morning

Texting me while you were drunken
You were drunk and texting me

Whatever makes you happy makes me fine
I just want you to be happy, even if it means sacrificing my own feelings

But if you drive me one more time
If you hurt me again

I'd rather be fast, I'd rather be fast
I'd rather move on, quickly

Why do you always have to lie?
I can't trust you because you always lie

I knew you were rich cause I needed it dry
I knew you were lying because it made things easier for both of us

And you needed a breath cause you were out tonight
You needed space and freedom because you were out doing things without me

You're on the line
You are close to crossing a boundary

I seen you waving goodbye
I saw you leaving

The piece you left me
The memory of you that remains with me

I miss you in the night
I feel lonely without you

High salt level, cries for triple
I am overwhelmed and emotional

And sailors started to shot
Metaphor for feeling lost at sea, unsure of what to do next

Fat calmed kiddos, touching all your pillows
I am trying to find comfort in mundane things

You can't run, you can't hide
We need to confront our issues and not ignore them

Saving you, my love, could work
I am willing to save our relationship if it's possible

I can't touch the mysticism of your lies
I can't fully understand or grasp your dishonesty

You're not supposed to catch the signs
You're not supposed to know that I'm hurting

But I don't mind, I don't mind
I will continue to hide my pain from you if it means keeping the peace

Oh why are you always on my mind?
I can't stop thinking about you

I needed a risk cause I needed to try
I took a chance on you because I wanted to see where it would go

Please don't leave me
I am afraid of losing you

Hate so little, cries for triple
We say let's tally the shots
Fat Calmed Kiddos
You are touching all your videos
You're getting drunk, you can't hide
Saving you, my love, good work
I can't touch them, it's the season of your lies
Texting me while you were drunken

I won't be saying please don't let me
Please don't let me
Please don't let me
