Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

stay, flower dont go away (x4)
why dont you stay with me

stay, flower dont go away
why dont you stay with me (x2)


ngry black man strikes again
haaaaa, dragon kick (x2)
dragon kick (x4)


yoshi, obentou kita


stay, flower dont...
stay, flower dont...




stay, flower dont go away
why cant you stay with me

Overall Meaning

The lyrics to Bogdan Raczynski's song, "Why? Why?" express a feeling of longing or loneliness. The repetition of the line "stay, flower don't go away" creates a sense of desperation and a desire for someone or something to remain present. The metaphor of the flower represents something delicate and fleeting, symbolizing the transience of life and relationships. The repetition of the question "why don't you stay with me" emphasizes the singer's inability to understand why the flower, or person, must leave.


The second verse of the song introduces a sudden shift in tone with the line "angry black man strikes again." This abrupt change in subject matter adds an element of confusion to the song's meaning. The subsequent lines, "haaaaa, dragon kick" and "yoshi, obentou kita," seem random and disconnected from the first verse. However, it is possible that these lines serve to broaden the song's focus, suggesting a broader cultural context beyond the singer's immediate experience.


Overall, the lyrics to "Why? Why?" convey a sense of yearning and confusion. The repetition of certain lines creates a hypnotic effect, while the sudden change in tone adds a layer of complexity to the song's meaning.
