Base Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
I whistle down the wind
Carry on smiling
And the world will smile with you
"Life is a flower
So precious in your hand
Carry on smiling
And the world will smile with you
When every race is run
And the day is closing in
I don't care about the world
I'm living for the light
Don't cry for me today' ah ah ah
We live in a free world
I whistle down the wind
I can not be your judge
Mr. Jailer is your host
He's keeping you inside
And hides you from the world
No catcher in the rye
Can help you from yourself
We live in a free world
I whistle down the wind
Please Mr. Agony
Release them for a while
"earn them the consequences of
Living without life
We live in a free world
The song "Flowers" by Base is an uplifting and optimistic track that encourages listeners to keep smiling despite life's challenges. The opening lines, "We live in a free world, I whistle down the wind," suggest a sense of freedom and possibility, with the wind symbolizing the boundless potential of life. The refrain, "Carry on smiling and the world will smile with you," reinforces the idea that a positive attitude can be contagious and can help to bring joy and hope to others.
The lyrics continue with the metaphor of life being a precious flower that we must hold gently in our hands. The lines, "Life is a flower, so precious in your hand, carry on smiling and the world will smile with you," highlight the fragility and beauty of life, as well as the power we have to shape our own experiences through our attitude and outlook.
The song also addresses social and political issues, with lyrics such as "Mr. Jailer is your host, he's keeping you inside, and hides you from the world." These lines suggest a sense of oppression or confinement, with the jailer representing systems or structures that restrict our freedom and prevent us from fully experiencing and enjoying life. The reference to "no catcher in the rye" implies a sense of isolation and despair, with no one to offer a sense of safety or comfort. However, the song ultimately maintains an upbeat and hopeful tone, urging listeners to keep smiling and spreading positivity in spite of these challenges.
