Flamingo
Sequin Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

I had your colors in my room
Your head in my chest
I thought I was going back to
Another fake tale

Oh my eyes started to cry
When I looked at you
I was wondering where
Where my love had gone to

It's hard to feel
It's hard to tell
When your heart is moving
From heaven to hell

I had your colors in my room
Your head in my chest
I thought I was going back to
Another fake tale

Oh my eyes started to cry
When I looked at you
I was wondering where
Where my love had gone to

It's hard to feel
It's hard to tell
When your heart is moving
From heaven to hell

It's hard to feel
It's hard to tell
When your heart is moving
From heaven to hell

I let myself get away with it
In your feathers I found guilt
I let myself get away with it
In your feathers I found guilt

And your head is down in water
Trying to find another lover

Oh yes your head is down in water
Trying to find another lover

It's hard to feel
It's hard to tell
When your heart is moving
From heaven to hell

Oh my eyes started to cry
When I looked at you
I was wondering where
Where my love had gone to

Oh my eyes started to cry
When I looked at you




I was wondering where
Where my love had gone to

Overall Meaning

The lyrics of Sequin's song "Flamingo" speak of the pain and confusion that comes with a failed relationship. The lyrics suggest that the singer had someone in their life with whom they had deep emotional connection ("Your head in my chest") but have since fallen out of love with. The lines "When your heart is moving from heaven to hell" indicate the tumultuous nature of the relationship and the mixed emotions that come with it.


The image of the Flamingo is used as a metaphor for this failed connection. The singer had the "colors" of their lover in their room but realizes that the relationship was merely a "fake tale." They express the difficulty in feeling and admitting these intense emotions through the repetition of "It's hard to feel, it's hard to tell."


The lyrics suggest guilt on the part of the singer ("In your feathers I found guilt") and convey the idea that their former lover is also struggling to move on ("Trying to find another lover"). However, despite the pain and confusion, the singer continues to cry and wonder where their love has gone to.


Overall, "Flamingo" is a moving and relatable exploration of the emotions that come with the end of a relationship.
