Flowers
Converge Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Neck deep we wallow and this floor catches lingering feet
By rope with heartbreak this is our happiest moment of all
We dream of flowers on the razorwire
And wake to the scent of our dead
We're sinking
And all of those times don't matter here
Remember my love
This is for the sinking and the strength of our wings
Be brave and bleed out the day
We left our body for the sky and ended up here




Listen to me, don't let them list your feet
Our love is real.

Overall Meaning

The lyrics to Converge+'s song Flowers evoke a sense of sorrow and desperation, as the singer describes a situation where they are stuck sinking and feeling hopeless. They use metaphors to describe the situation: "Neck deep we wallow and this floor catches lingering feet" suggests they are drowning and struggling to move, while "By rope with heartbreak this is our happiest moment of all" implies they've reached a breaking point but may feel a sense of release or freedom.


The singer then shifts to a more surreal image of dreaming of flowers on razorwire, which is sharp and dangerous. This could represent a desire for something beautiful and delicate in a harsh and unforgiving world. The line "And wake to the scent of our dead" adds an eerie tone, suggesting death is near and the singer is surrounded by it.


The chorus repeats the idea of sinking and struggling, emphasizing that in this moment, the past doesn't matter. The singer encourages their loved one to remember this moment, where they are fighting to hold on, as a testament to the strength of their love. The final line "Our love is real" emphasizes that they are in this together and their feelings are genuine.
