Flowvers Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
You know you’ve had your chances
Fool me twice
Cause I play cool for you
Cause you know that I’m true
I. Don’t. Like the way
The flowers are growing
I. Don’t. Like the way
The things are going
Bring me down
Know that I’m the true believer
Know that I’m no trouble at all cause I’m only a fool.
Cause I’m only a fool for you girl
I know it’s fine
(I know it’s fine)
That you should take me own advice
Easy for you
(For you)
Cause you’re such a freak for me and I say
If you flew across the Atlantic would you cry for me girl?
If you flew across the Atlantic would you fly for me girl?
See me fall
Know that I’m the true believer
Know that I’m no trouble at all cause I’m only a fool
No, I don’t like the way that the flowers are growing
No, I don’t like the way that the flowers are growing
The way the people are talking
I don’t like the way the flowers are growing
I don’t like the way the flowers are growing
I don’t like the way the flowers are growing
I don’t like the way the flowers are growing
Bring me down
Know that I’m the true believer
Know that I’m no trouble at all Cause I’m only a fool
I’m only a fool
No, I don’t like the way that the flowers are growing
That they’re growing
The lyrics of Flowvers's song "Flowers" convey a sense of dissatisfaction with the way things are progressing. The opening lines, "I’ve seen the light, You know you’ve had your chances, Fool me twice, Cause I play cool for you, Cause you know that I’m true" suggest that the singer has become aware of some behavioral patterns or deception in a relationship. Despite their loyalty, they acknowledge being fooled multiple times, implying a willingness to overlook or forgive past transgressions.
The recurring phrase "I. Don’t. Like the way, The flowers are growing, In their display" represents a metaphor for the way things are unfolding. It could signify the singer's discontent with the direction of their relationship or perhaps a wider dissatisfaction with the world around them. The repetition of the phrase intensifies the sentiment, expressing a strong aversion or discomfort.
The chorus, "Bring me down, Know that I’m the true believer, Know that I’m no trouble at all cause I’m only a fool, Cause I’m only a fool for you girl" shows the singer's unwavering dedication and love. Despite their reservations, they are willing to endure any hardship or disappointment because of their deep affection for the other person.
The lines "If you flew across the Atlantic, would you cry for me girl? If you flew across the Atlantic, would you fly for me girl?" introduce a sense of distance and separation. The singer questions the depth of the other person's emotions and commitment. This part highlights the need for reassurance and validation, further emphasizing the singer's vulnerability and desire for a reciprocal love.
The repetition of the phrase "No, I don’t like the way that the flowers are growing" in the latter part of the song underlines the persistent dissatisfaction present throughout the lyrics. It reinforces the idea that whatever is happening in the world or the relationship, it is not acceptable or desirable to the singer.
Overall, "Flowers" showcases the conflicting emotions of love and discontentment, loyalty and disillusionment, ultimately expressing the singer's yearning for a more fulfilling and genuine connection.
