Dead Flowers
Brandon Vee Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

I see the good in everything they told me that’s a problem I Gave my love to anything mama said I’m proud of You but ever since the days of my youth It’s been really hard to choose Where to move My Energy Silly me Blind to see giving all me thinking what could it be It’s funny when you plant the seed And immediately Think you’ll just see a blooming tree They say good things come to those who wait I just suck at stopping that before it’s too late Oh Great Cuz now it’s heartbreak and disappointment Expectations that I get annoyed with All for your enjoyment Cuz who really knows if you loves me at all Or maybe your not capable I scaled the wall Protecting your very essence I know you keeping hidden And maybe I was the fool for thinking that I was different

Even if you did me wrong I love you
Only accept the love you want to
Which tells me how you love yourself I want you To Feel what I feel for you so you come to The same perception When starring at your reflection if I hurt myself on your thorns I never regret it Because there’s no need for you beauty to wilt
100 like chamberlain that’s the way that I feel With 1 in the chamber and they say that beauty can kill If I’m the only one sees tell me who does it hit Sacrifices Trying to let your light in Just the way I love and I’m alright with The way it ends I make amends rather love with everything than hide pretend I forget About my own feelings A fool for love but it’s engrained in my spirit Ironically I break my own hoping that you can feel it Watering this dead flower hoping that you visit Later on in life so you can really see the image Of what true love is even if we missed it




Overall Meaning

The singer's mother has expressed her pride in the singer's ability to love unconditionally. However, the singer struggles with choosing where to direct their energy, and despite their efforts, they often end up disappointed. The singer acknowledges that they may be a fool for thinking that their love is different from what has already been offered to the subject of their affection.

They express their desire for the subject to share the same perception they have when looking at themselves in the mirror. The singer believes that their love is worth the sacrifices they make and is hopeful that the subject will one day see the image of true love that they are trying to illustrate. The lyrics convey a sense of longing, as the singer hopes that their dead flowers come back to life and receive the love they deserve, even if it may be too late.
