Trust
Flowing Tears & Withered Flowers Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

he goes away
in search of a rose
in a drowning empty dawn
a paranoid dreamscape

he goes away
along all their empty faces
and all the blinded ears
no one helps him and no one carries him
running away....

and he carries a heart in his hand
a southfruit germ in the northern lands
drifting and drifting fornever to dwell

he goes away
a tousand people but alone
in a touch of misanthrophy




and a wish to escape
from this reality

Overall Meaning

The first stanza of the song "Trust" by Flowing Tears & Withered Flowers narrates an individual's journey to find a rose in the midst of a desolate and empty morning. The individual is plagued by a disturbing nightmare, symbolized by a "paranoid dreamscape." The lyrics create a sense of suspense and tension as the character embarks on his journey alone, encountering only "empty faces and blinded ears" on his way. He feels he is running away from something but is not quite sure what it is.


In the second stanza, the character is described as carrying a heart in his hand and a "southfruit germ in the northern lands." The metaphors suggest the character is seeking something that seems unattainable or out of place, something that doesn't belong to the world he is currently inhabiting. He is drifting aimlessly, and though he yearns to find a place to dwell, he never quite succeeds. In his loneliness and despair, he develops a touch of misanthropy and a longing to escape from reality.


Overall, "Trust" captures the essence of human longing and existential angst. The lyrics speak to the universal human experience of searching for meaning and purpose in a world that often seems empty and indifferent. The song's haunting melody and poetic lyrics resonate with its listeners, eliciting feelings of melancholy and introspection.
