Origami
Flowerless Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

To make a long story short
Were done like the dinner i made her with pills when i wasn’t with her
And from a candy to next, her ex texts but i wasn’t with her
She was spotting the trains, then ask me to play but switching to liquor
Told her “i know that you think this is falling, while you needle prescriptions from the bailey and molly”
I know your a purist
Tongue opportunist
Called you a spitter when you wouldn’t do it
Cause i know she did it and she was acquitted
But i know she’ll quit it again ya
Can you tell i wanna finally get you out my head
Liquor soaked sheets stay stuck on the bed yeah
But all we been doing is burning out
She love me fugazi I’m hazy i can’t see is she fuckin for real still on the addy
She love me fugazi I’m happy i can’t see cause she fuckin for real when still on the addy
Concentrate to operate but don’t let her body wait yeah
And i been thinking straight but i still think the problems are piling up now
Does she feel enough, feel too much cause i aint fina get her late bro
See I’m asking her questions to question her answers
Origami princess with her Versace neckless
Go ahead and wear your short dress when your alone
Can you tell i wanna finally get you out my head
Liquor soaked sheets stay stuck on the bed yeah
But all we been doing is burning out
She love me fugazi I’m hazy i can’t see
Cause she fuckin for real still on the addy
She love me fugazi I’m happy i can’t see
Cause she fuckin for real when still on the addy
She love me fugazi I’m hazy i can’t see
Cause she fuckin for real still on the addy
(That she's high that she's high)
She love me fugazi I’m happy i can’t see
Cause she fuckin for real when still on the addy
(That she's high when she's with me is that why i can't breath)
Origami princess with her Versace neckless
Go ahead and wear your short dress when your alone




Or just call me recklessly wondering if you’ll ever see
Anything but his pics light up your phone

Overall Meaning

The song “Origami” by Flowerless talks about a turbulent romantic relationship. The lyrics are about a man who is trying to get over his ex-girlfriend who seems to be struggling with addiction. The opening lines, “To make a long story short, we’re done, like the dinner I made her with pills when I wasn’t with her” suggest that the relationship has come to an end due to overdose. Later lines such as “But all we been doing is burning out, she loves me fugazi, I’m hazy I can’t see, cause she’s fucking for real still on the addy” and “concentrate to operate but don’t let her body wait,” refer to the woman’s addiction and the difficulties it has caused for the couple.


The term fugazi means fake or phony in Italian-American slang, and in the song it is used to describe the woman's love – it is not genuine or real. There is a sense of the man’s frustration with her addiction, yet he can’t seem to let go of her. This is summed up in the line “Can you tell I wanna finally get you out my head...But all we been doing is burning out.”


The reference to the Origami princess with her Versace necklace is also symbolic. The art of Origami is one that requires patience and skill, each fold made with precision. The reference perhaps suggests that the relationship was once carefully crafted, but no longer. The image of the necklace suggests a sense of extravagance and perhaps a lifestyle that has spiraled out of control.
