Petals
Basenji Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Everytime I get stronger
While I'm waiting here for you
We're the ones that they talk about
Tell me how you feel

I love it too
I'm the only one who thinks it's real
Why does it feel so, so real?
When did it become so real?

Let the feeling take over
You've got nothing left to lose
We're the ones that they talk about
Tell me how you feel

I love it too
I'm the only one who thinks it's real
Why does it feel so, so real?
When did it become so real?

Every color
Mixed together will make another reality
In my galaxy
I know that every color
Mixed together will make another reality
When you're with me

Everytime I get stronger
While I'm waiting here for you
Let the feeling take over
You've got nothing left to lose




We're the ones that they talk about
We're the ones that they made

Overall Meaning

Petals by Basenji is a song that explores the idea of two people being in love, and how it feels when that love becomes very real. The first verse of the song sets the tone, with the singer expressing their inner strength as they wait for someone they love. As the song progresses, the feeling of real love becomes almost overwhelming, with the lyrics repeating the question of why it feels so real.


The chorus of the song acts as a sort of refrain, with the singer suggesting that they are the only one who believes in this love, while also questioning their own feelings. The repetition of the question, "Why does it feel so, so real?" captures the sense of disbelief that often accompanies falling in love.


The bridge of the song introduces the idea of a galaxy and how every color mixed together creates another reality. This metaphor of the galaxy captures the idea of two people coming together and creating something new and unique. The song ends with the repetition of the chorus, and the overall sensation of love being a powerful and real force.

The vocals are haunting. There couldn't have been a better vocalist on this song than Scenic. It's glorious, and Basenji is still super underrated.
