Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Let your power shine
Make the clock reverse
Bring back what once was mine
What once was mine
Heal what has been hurt
Save what has been lost
Bring back what once was mine
What once was mine
The lyrics of Flower, gleam and glow in Donna Murphy and Delaney Stein's song Prologue is about the main character's desperate plea to return the things that were once hers. The singer is using the power of the flower to make the clock return, thus, bringing back the things that were once hers. The first line, Flower, gleam and glow, is an incantation that shows the character's determination to use the flower's power to get back what she lost. The lines "Let your power shine" and "Make the clock reverse" illustrate that the singer is willing to do whatever it takes to bring back what was taken from her.
The second stanza of the song delves deeper into the character's desperation to regain what was once hers. The line "Heal what has been hurt" explains that the character is willing to go to any length to make things right again. The line "Change the Fates' design" suggests that the character believes that fate had a role to play in the loss of what was once hers. The final two lines of the stanza, "Save what has been lost" and "Bring back what once was mine," tie the entire song together by reiterating the character's primary objective to restore what was hers.
