The Flower
Atropos Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
I seize my graves with myself like black ghost.
Queen Night is hugging me,
She wants to cure my wounds, to allay my pain.
From the crown of the everlasting oak
Floats the alleviation for the mundane self
Which is calling The Flower,
Whispering It's Name
Had Baudelaire known
The flower of desires,
This kind of flower?
The flower of life...
Cruel Nymph! Be...
The flower of desires,
The flower of life...
My heart is overflowing with pain
My soul is playing cards with hatred
Love
Buried in rubble
Trembles
In the long agony
The fire burns, although is covered up with sand
And salt
Eating up the wounds
In the love downfalls
I seize my graves with myself like black ghost.
Queen Night is hugging me,
She wants to cure my wounds, to allay my pain.
Atropos's song "The Flower" is a hauntingly beautiful depiction of pain, love and loss. The lyrics describe a person who is so consumed by love and its downfalls that they feel like a black ghost, clinging onto their graves. Queen Night, a personification of death, invites the singer to let go of their pain and find healing. The "flower" is a metaphor for the hope for healing, but it is also a symbol of desire and the cruelty of life. The singer's heart is overflowing with pain and their soul is playing cards with hatred, painting an image of someone who is tormented by their emotions.
The reference to Baudelaire and the flower of desires adds to the depth and complexity of the lyrics. Baudelaire was a French poet who wrote extensively about desire, beauty, and death. The flower of desires is a metaphor for the things we long for in life, but it also represents the inevitable decay and destruction of those desires. The cruel nymph could be a representation of fate, which often seems like an uncaring force that torments us with the unattainable.
Overall, "The Flower" is a powerful piece of poetry that captures the complexity of human emotions and the struggle to overcome pain and suffering.
