LETRA
Flutes
I know it's nothing more than flutes
But something in my heart is loose
There's never been a better day
And if there is nothing more
Then nothing more will add, I say
There's never been a better day
Work that inside, outside, work that more
Work that right side, left side, work that more
Inside, outside, left side, work the floor
Inside, outside, up top, down with more
Work that inside, outside, work that more
Work that right side, left side, work that more
Inside, outside, left side, work the floor
Inside, outside, up top, down with more
I put up on a string today
Deciding never taught me a thing
A wooden box breathes the way
Never again, never again
Never again, never again
All this talk is getting me down
Nothing's making sense in my brain
I'm moving words across the terrain
Trying hard to fix to the page
I'm wedded to the thought that we came
Only to discover our names
And blow a horn of love in refrain
And watch things drop down
And watch things drop down
And watch things drop down
And watch things drop down
Work that inside, outside, work that more
Work that right side, left side, work that more
Inside, outside, left side, work the floor
Inside, outside, up top, down with more
Work that inside, outside, work that more
Work that right side, left side, work that more
Inside, outside, left side, work the floor
Inside, outside, up top, down with more
All this talk is getting me down
Nothing's making sense in my brain
I'm moving words across the terrain
Trying hard to fix to the page
I'm wedded to the thought that we came
Only to discover our names
And blow a horn of love in refrain
And watch things drop down
And watch things drop down
And watch things drop down
And watch things drop down
One day you might realise
That you might need to open your eyes
One day you might realise
That you might need to open your eyes
Work that inside, outside, work that more
Work that right side, left side, work that more
Inside, outside, left side, work the floor
Inside, outside, up top, down with more
Work that inside, outside, work that more
Work that right side, left side, work that more
Inside, outside, left side, work the floor
Inside, outside, up top, down with more
One day you might realise
That you might need to open your eyes
One day you might realise
That you might need to open your eyes
Significado de la letra
En la canción 'Flutes' de Hot Chip se exploran temas de introspección y búsqueda de significado en la vida. La repetición de la frase 'I know it's nothing more than flutes' sugiere una sensación de simpleza o insignificancia aparente, pero a la vez se insinúa que hay algo dentro del corazón que está suelto, algo que va más allá de lo evidente.
La letra aborda la idea de vivir en el momento presente, apreciar cada día como único y valioso. Aunque parece que no hay más que lo que se ve a simple vista, se enfatiza la importancia de encontrar belleza y significado en lo aparentemente común.
Se menciona la idea de trabajar tanto en el interior como en el exterior, buscando un equilibrio y una conexión con uno mismo y con el entorno. La imagen de mover palabras a través del terreno, intentando plasmar pensamientos en papel, refleja el desafío de comunicar y comprender la propia experiencia.
La canción también invita a la reflexión sobre la identidad y el propósito, sugiriendo que tal vez estamos aquí para descubrir quiénes somos realmente y compartir amor y comprensión con los demás. Se hace referencia a la posibilidad de abrir los ojos a nuevas perspectivas y percepciones, sugiriendo un despertar a la verdad y la conexión más profunda.
En resumen, 'Flutes' es una canción que invita a la contemplación, al autoconocimiento y a la apertura a nuevas experiencias, todo ello enmarcado en un ritmo envolvente y cautivador característico de Hot Chip.
