Flower Child
Coletta Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Hello my mirror
Reflection's what I need
The more you dwell on fear
The more it suits reality
Mind's my receiver
Installs all sounds I knead
Warming your atmosphere
Charged at a price no one can see

I feel like Walt Disney
The guest star appearance on Sesame Street
Never sold my old soul
Only traded it in and took back control

Let's take a little trip tonight
Just be prepared to get flipped inside out
If you're stuck inside the roundabout
I'll help you find your way 'round
You won't find your happiness
In anybody else
Don't believe the lies they're feeding you
It's only in yourself

Don't blame society for your own misery
Take some responsibility for your poor instability
You're wasting your time in attempts to tear me down
I'll go make history
As I smile and gladly watch you drown

I feel like Walt Disney
The guest star appearance on Sesame Street
Never sold my old soul
Only traded it in and took back control

Let's take a little trip tonight
Just be prepared to get flipped inside out
If you're stuck inside the roundabout
I'll help you find your way 'round
You won't find your happiness
In anybody else
Don't believe the lies they're feeding you
It's only in yourself

Why do I push everyone I love away?
Is it because I'm not enough,
Or you don't love me the same?
I'll be leaving soon
With my one way ticket
You'll be seeing all my cartoons
But I won't forget to visit
Home
Home




Home
Oh, home.

Overall Meaning

In "Flower Child," Coletta empowers listeners to take responsibility for their own happiness and to not rely on others for validation. The opening lines speak to self-reflection and the idea that we often see our own fears reflected back at us. The importance of mindfulness is emphasized as the mind is described as a receiver that processes and internalizes experiences, with an emphasis on positive reinforcement. The lyrics then reference Walt Disney and Sesame Street as symbols of creating a positive mindset, emphasizing letting go of past negativity and embracing a sense of creative freedom.


The chorus of "Flower Child" emphasizes the importance of finding happiness within oneself rather than searching for external validation. Coletta encourages listeners to not believe the lies that others may be feeding them, as true happiness can only come from within. The song also touches on the idea of taking responsibility for one's own feelings rather than blaming society or others for personal struggles. The final lines of "Flower Child" speak to the idea of leaving behind toxic situations and embracing new opportunities, while still acknowledging the importance of home and where we come from.

As a huge DGD fan, I'm glad I can finally stop from having Mothership and Tree City Sessions on repeat.
