Send It Back
decor Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴
Yeah we're sending it back
"Oh yeah, we just sent it back"
Don't worry somebody's probably fixing it in the back
This one came with hair in it
This one had glass in it
This tastes like soap
This one has grass in it
You can always send it back
I've been known to send it back
Look see- they just sent it back
Trust me really I do it all the time
I think if you had less than half it's okay to do it
Give it back and get another
There's always more
This glass has a chip
This is supposed to have dip
This has too much pepper
And I don't like the texture
This is different than described on the menu
Back to the kitchen I send you
This dust fell from above
I want pita instead of a bun
This doesn't feel cooked through
Can we be moved to a window or booth
I'd like a better view
Can you charge my phone at the bar
And hows about some free dessert
Like maybe a lemon tart
Or something with rhubarb
Or a different citrus-based custard
So please I do ask you
To send it back
If not I'd like to speak to some kind of manager
Please tell the maitre'd it's just not how I imagined it
I mean I used to come here all the time
You don't recognize my face
You must be new here
I used to own this place
I just wanted something different
Maybe something less specific
A bit more like what I'm used to
More like what you choosed too
They'll comp it without questions asked
Should we tip I mean...we had to send it back
I don't know why
I don't see why it's that big of an issue
Such a point of contention
Why must we split hairs over this
I know there's everyone else here to tend to as well
But these are small simple requests
I have come here dozens of times
And these requests were never a problem before
Who used to do that for me
You don't know them- it was before you were here
Besides, I'm a local fixture
Yes, people do come here for the food
But they don't come here just for the food
They come here to see me
Can you
Split the check
Bill three ways
That's my card
Can you
Split the check
Bill three ways
That's my card
The lyrics of "Send It Back" by Decor delve into the experience of a demanding and assertive diner who is unafraid to send back items that do not meet their standards. The repetition of the phrase "send it back" emphasizes the theme of dissatisfaction and the unwillingness to settle for subpar quality. The lyrics suggest a sense of entitlement and a belief that the customer's preferences should be catered to without question.
The list of complaints about the food and service in the song reflects a perfectionist attitude and a desire for everything to be just right. From finding hair or glass in the food to issues with the taste, texture, and presentation, the singer is unapologetically vocal about their grievances. The lyrics highlight the power dynamic between the customer and the service staff, with the former feeling empowered to demand changes and replacements as they see fit.
The lyrics also touch on themes of privilege and entitlement, with references to requests for special accommodations such as charging a phone, requesting specific desserts, or asking for a change in seating. The singer’s insistence on being recognized as a regular and important patron further underscores their belief in their own significance and status within the establishment.
The song ends with a plea for understanding and compliance, with the singer expressing confusion over why their requests are met with resistance or hesitation. The repetition of the lines about splitting the check and asserting ownership over the payment reinforces the notion of entitlement and the expectation of receiving preferential treatment based on one's perceived importance. Overall, the lyrics of "Send It Back" offer a satirical commentary on consumer entitlement and the dynamics of power and control in the service industry.

I think I wrote this last year :-), but my mantra maintains: I put up what I think I'll have the energy to take back down and put away. Happy Thanksgiving to you!
@doublea6252
I think this same thing!!😂❤
@TheMinimalMom
YES, love this so much!!!!
@suzanneperkins4510
Exactly! Plus, the last couple years I've been getting rid of what remains. If I don't have energy to put it up, it's probably not a favorite!
@cathyholt5215
Me too!!!❤
@ps0195
Such a great way to look at it!
@Chrissyhappy
You’ve literally changed my life. I actually now love my home. I feel calm and relaxed and happy. Not anxious or unsettled. I’ve stopped needing the glass of wine to feel relaxed. I’ve stopped eating rubbish because I wasn’t organised enough to meal plan. You’ve taught me how to find happiness again. For that I am very grateful. Thank you.❤ Merry Christmas to you and your lovely family.

I resonate with your frequent use of the phrase “ it’s fine.” Because it IS fine. I remind myself and my family that most of our concerns are “first world problems “!! And it’s fine. Thanks for your content and for being such a positive person. Merry Christmas!!
