Flowers
Gitane Demone/Rozz williams Lyrics

This is my favorite sad story,
The story being referred to is something that the singer likes, but it is also sad.

Forget me not or I'll forget myself
The singer is asking to be remembered because they are afraid of being forgotten and losing themselves.

I've got quite a few things that I'm afraid of
The singer has many fears that they struggle with.

Sometimes I just can't face myself
The artist sometimes has difficulty accepting who they are and facing their inner struggles.

I guess I'll tuck myself away tonight,
The artist is planning to retreat from the world and be alone for the night.

You know it's been one of those days.
The day has been difficult for the singer.

Every pretty flower,
All types of flowers are being referred to.

Every lovely flower,
The artist is emphasizing that even the most beautiful flowers have a hidden side to them.

Every deadly flower
Even the most dangerous or poisonous flowers have something about them that is worth noticing.

Hides its light inside of shame.
Flowers can be beautiful and deadly, but they also have an element of shame that makes them hide their true nature.

I do not know why you don't know,
The singer is frustrated and confused about why someone else does not understand them.

I cannot reap what you have sown
The artist cannot take responsibility for what someone else has done.

Beneath this blanket of loose soil,
The singer feels like they are buried under something and cannot break free.

Wrapped around my mortal coil.
The singer feels trapped in their own existence and the struggles of life.

Well a stem is not a rose,
A stem is only a part of a rose, and not the entire flower.

But that's how my garden grows.
The artist's garden, or their own life, is not perfect and has flaws.

I can't see the forest for the trees,
The artist is having trouble seeing the bigger picture because they are too focused on small details.

The stinking poison for disease
The things that are causing problems in the singer's life are like a disease.

Now it's all shot to hell and back again.
Everything has gone wrong and the singer is at a loss for what to do.

I seek redemption for the
The artist is trying to make up for past mistakes and find forgiveness for their actions.

Same old sins and I fall on my knees,
The artist is admitting to their mistakes and trying to repent for them.

And I pray that all the poppies they
The artist is hoping that the negative things in their life will go away.

They will just fade away.
The singer wants the negative things to disappear.

But fields of poppies they remain.
Even though the artist wants the negative things to go away, they are still present in their life.

That's how they found me last time, dead
The singer is referring to a past event where they were in a dangerous situation and almost died.

Irises lay in spring mud,
Irises, or another type of flower, are portraying difficult circumstances.

Where lovers drown each other's sorrows,
This is describing the time where two people in love are trying to comfort each other.

Where lovers dream about tomorrows.
The lovers are very positive and passionate about their future together.

As for me I drown another kind as
The artist is dealing with a different kind of pain compared to the lovers.

Sadness runs course through my veins.
The singer is finding that their sadness is becoming a part of their being.

Posie wreaths they crown me.
Posies, or another type of flower wreath, is symbolizing something that is important to the singer.

My heart, My heart
The artist is feeling intense emotions.

I should just fade away, fade away
The artist is feeling a desire to disappear from the world.

Like a flower
The artist wants to fade away like flowers eventually do.
