Flowing Tears & Withered Flowers Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
And resentment rides high but emotions won′t grow
And we're changing our ways, taking different roads
Then love, love will tear us apart again
Love, love will tear us apart again
Why is the bedroom so cold? you′ve turned away on your side
Yet there's still this appeal that we've kept through our lives
But love, love will tearus apart again
Love, love will tear us apart again
You cry out in your sleep, all my failings exposed
And there′s tast in my mouth as desperation takes hold
Just that something so good just can′t function no more
But love, love wil tear us apart again
Love, love will tear us apart again
Love, love will tear us apart again
Love, love will tear us apart again

Line by Line Meaning
When routine bites hard and ambitions are low
When everyday life is monotonous and boring, and our goals seem out of reach and unimportant
And resentment rides high but emotions won't grow
When we feel anger and bitterness, but we can't connect emotionally
And we're changing our ways, taking different roads
When we're evolving and growing apart, choosing different paths
Then love, love will tear us apart again
Despite our best efforts, our love will ultimately lead to our separation
Why is the bedroom so cold? you've turned away on your side
Our intimacy has faded, and you've become distant
Is my timing that flawed? our respect runs so dry
I wonder if I'm to blame for our lack of connection, and our mutual respect has dwindled
Yet there's still this appeal that we've kept through our lives
Despite our issues, there's still something attractive about our relationship that we've held onto
But love, love will tear us apart again
Our love will continue to be the source of our pain and separation
You cry out in your sleep, all my failings exposed
Your subconscious reveals that you see my flaws and shortcomings
And there's taste in my mouth as desperation takes hold
I feel desperation and fear as I realize that our relationship is falling apart
Just that something so good just can't function no more
Our love was once strong and fulfilling, but it can no longer sustain us
But love, love will tear us apart again
Our love will continue to hurt us and separate us
Love, love will tear us apart again
Our love is doomed to cause us pain and suffering
Love, love will tear us apart again
We can't help but be drawn to each other, even though it will ultimately lead to our separation
Love, love will tear us apart again
Our love is both beautiful and destructive, tearing us apart over and over again

It's refreshing to hear Stefanie Duchenne do a cover of a classic. And change the energy of it from melancholy to energetic. I know this song was a precursor to Ian's suicide but to leave what is such a beautiful song at that just doesn't do it Justice. So thank you Stefanie and the rest of the guys who used to be in this band for doing this for us. Such a shame this band isn't around anymore either.

Really? Up sense 2011 and nothing at all to say about this cover? Well allow me to say this was one the better covers I have heard on the YouTube after hours of browsing for covers of this song. Thanks!
