Wildflowers
Haiva ru Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
I look at the stars, wonder which one you might be
I could have been more but I was so afraid
And all of the words just couldn't hold enough weight
I wish I could reach past the stars and past the moon
I just want to know how far from me to you
I wish that we wrote, oh God I was so proud
I see you now in every wind and word
You finally got your feet off the ground
And you're free as a bird
Wild flowers in half bloom
Dull colors paint the room
How could I ever blame you
Haiva ru’s song “Wildflowers” is an emotionally-charged ballad that depicts the singer's struggle with love and communication. This song talks about someone who has lost the person they love and how they have been falling apart despite their splendor. The opening line, “I'm falling apart, quite beautifully” suggests that the singer has been maintaining a brave face in the face of adversity.
The lyrics also convey the singer's desire to reach for the stars and discover whether their past love is still out there. The words “I could have been more but I was so afraid” allude to sadder times, wherein they were too scared to fully express their love for the other person. The phrase “And all of the words just couldn’t hold enough weight” suggests that the singer has always struggled to express their emotions adequately.
The phrase “Wild flowers in half bloom/Dull colors paint the room/How could I ever blame you” gives an insight into how the singer feels lost and is struggling to find brightness in their life once again. The use of wild flowers can be seen as a metaphor for the beauty that can be missed if we don't pay attention to the small details in life. The song ends with the singer coming to terms with the end of that relationship, acknowledging that the other person has moved on while they are still struggling to make sense of what happened.
