Wildflowers
Elle Vee Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
May lose its will to fly
See I have to roam free
And if you clip my wings I'll die
Drop all your weapons at your feet
You can't control that part of me
So cut me loose
Some are born to be wildflowers
Some are born to be wildflowers
Come and walk this world with me
Cuz we were born to be
Wildflowers
Wildflowers
Who are we to judge each other
Who are we to say
Right or wrong, you're not my mother
Point the other way
Drop all the worries and the fears
They're gonna try to keep us here
Run for your life
Let's do it now, now, now
Some are born to be wildflowers
Some are born to be wildflowers
Come and walk this world with me
Cuz we were born to be
Wildflowers
Wildflowers
Wildflowers
Some are born to be wildflowers
Come and walk this world with me
Cuz we were born to be
Wildflowers
Wildflowers
We were born to be wildflowers
The song "Wildflowers" by Elle Vee is an uplifting and liberating anthem about embracing our individuality and breaking free from societal norms and expectations. The opening lines of the song, "A bird caged for too long baby/May lose its will to fly/See I have to roam free/And if you clip my wings I'll die," serve as a metaphor for how being confined and controlled for too long can crush our spirit and make us lose our sense of purpose and identity. The singer, therefore, urges her listeners to "cut [her] loose" and "don't tie [her] down" because she is one of the "wildflowers," people who were born to be free-spirited and unconventional.
The song also tackles the issue of judgment and intolerance, as the singer questions the basis of our societal norms and who gets to define what is "right" or "wrong." She advises us to drop our "weapons" and "worries and fears" and instead "run for [our] lives" and "walk this world" together as wildflowers, embracing our differences and celebrating our uniqueness.
Overall, "Wildflowers" is an empowering and inspiring song that encourages us to be true to ourselves and embrace our individuality, even if it means going against the norms and expectations of society.
