Flora
Aquarius Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Maelstrom, Avalon. In earth we once were still young
So tell me dear Flora, what will you do
When all of your earthtones, fade into blue?
Fade into blue
Fragile figurines, melt like glass down the back of our silver stream
So tell me dear Flora, what will you do,
When all of your earthtones, fade into blue?
Fade into blue
I need an answer, won't you concede
Your withering branches are wrought with disease
Wrought with disease
These lyrics from Aquarius's song "Flora" explore themes of love, transformation, and the fragility of relationships. The first verse sets a nostalgic tone, lamenting the changes that have occurred in a relationship: "Oh my love, what have we become? Maelstrom, Avalon. In earth we once were still young." Here, the singer questions how their love has evolved over time and acknowledges that they used to be innocent and carefree.
The chorus introduces Flora, who serves as a symbol for nature and its potential decay. The singer asks Flora what she will do when her vibrant "earthtones" fade into blue, potentially alluding to the fading passion or vitality in their love. The repetition of "fade into blue" emphasizes the impending loss or change that Flora may face.
The second verse employs metaphors to depict the fragility of their relationship. "Fragile figurines, melt like glass down the back of our silver stream" suggests that their love is delicate and easily broken. The phrase "frozen hallow thoughts" further emphasizes a sense of stagnation or numbness within the relationship. The line "if you sleep, I will keep your love here with me" indicates the singer's desire to hold onto the love they once had, even if it feels distant and unresponsive.
The second chorus repeats the question posed to Flora, urging her to consider how she will cope with the changes happening in their relationship. The line "wrought with disease" suggests that the branches of their love have become infected or damaged, symbolizing the emotional turmoil or problems they are facing. The final line conveys a sense of urgency and frustration from the singer, as they seek an answer or resolution to the challenges they are experiencing.
Overall, these lyrics portray a sense of longing, uncertainty, and the recognition of the inevitable changes that come with time. Flora serves as a symbol of nature and love, experiencing its own transformation and decay. The song beautifully captures the complexities and emotions that arise when relationships face challenges and the desire to hold onto love even as it evolves.
