Century Plant
Company Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
They call the century tree
Only once in a hundred years
It flowers gracefully
And you never know when it will bloom
Hey, do you want to come out
And play the game
Hey, do you want to come out
And play the game
It's never too late
Clementine Hunter was fifty-four before she picked up her paintings?
Old Uncle Taylor was eighty-one when he rode his bike
Across the plains of China Uh huh
And the sun was shining on that day
Just like today
Hey, do you want to come out
And play the game
It's never too late
Hey, do you want to come out
And play the game
It's never too late
Didn't know how to tell her for over thirty years
Kept locked up inside himself
No one saw the tears
Then she went away
And he woke up that day
So he went back to college at the age of sixty-three
Graduated with honors with an agriculture degree
And he joined up the Peace Corps at the age of sixty-nine
And he rode the grand rapids at the age of eighty-five
Now he brings roses to his sweetheart
She lives most anywhere
He sees someone suffering
He knows that despair
He offers them a rose
And some quiet prose
About dancing in a shimmering ballroom
'Cause you never know when they will bloom
The song "Century Plant" by American rock band Company is a testament to the idea that it's never too late to pursue your dreams and make the most out of your life. The first stanza references a cactus plant that blooms only once every hundred years, reminding us of the unpredictability of life and the importance of seizing opportunities when they arise. The lyrics encourage listeners to come out and "play the game", emphasizing that it's never too late to start something new and exciting.
The second stanza references a few real-life elderly individuals who accomplished remarkable things later in life. Clementine Hunter, who began painting at the age of 54, became a well-known folk artist whose works were displayed in museums across the US. Old Uncle Taylor, who rode his bike across the plains of China at the age of 81, proves that age should never be a barrier to adventure. These individuals serve as inspiration to the listener, showing that there's always an opportunity to pursue your passions and make your life something remarkable.
The final stanza talks about a man who spent over 30 years not expressing his love for someone. When she left, he realized the value of time and decided to make the most out of the rest of his life. He went back to college at 63, joined the Peace Corps at 69, and even went rafting at 85. The lyrics suggest that the man now lives a life full of joy and love, offering roses and words of kindness to those in need. The song reassures listeners that they can bloom at any age, and reminds us all to take advantage of what the present has to offer.

My parents who live in the middle of the desert had one of these bloom in their front yard when I was a teenager.
It came with the house when they purchased it 20 or so years prior, didn't think much of it and totally didn't realize what it was till it started to shoot up the stalk.
It got HUGE, and smelled quite lovely. Was a really dry year so an absolute cloud of butterflies, bees, hummingbirds, beetles, etc came each day (bats and moths at night) to take advantage of the sweet nectar. Which in my opinion was the coolest part.
