Ice Dragon Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
when my head pours into the ground
my thoughts will all grow flowers
sprouting out all around
some will be violet
and yellow and green
and others will only be black
they'll tell my life's story
to all who walk by
and there will be no hidden facts
don't be suprised
if the flowers all have your eyes
and for petals your long flowing hair
and though you'd like to pick them
i'd rather you just left them there
when i said i loved you
the flowers all turned red
when i broke your heart
they all went pale instead
when we kissed
the sun shown through in yellow
when i did you wrong
the blackness crept in from below
(repeats)
when i am dead and i am buried
in a long wooden box
alone with nothing but the dirt
myself, and my thoughts
i will grow a mighty tree
straight out of my heart
i will grow a mighty tree
straight out of my heart
and the fruit will bear your name
and it will grow forever strong
forever strong
The song "Flowers" by Ice Dragon is a powerful meditation on the relationship between life and death, and the ways in which we leave our mark on the world. The opening lines set the tone for the rest of the song, as the singer imagines their thoughts turning into flowers after they die. This powerful metaphor suggests that our thoughts and memories can live on long after our physical bodies are gone, taking root in the earth and blossoming into new life.
As the song progresses, we learn more about the different kinds of flowers that might grow from our thoughts. Some will be colorful and vibrant, while others will be darker and more mysterious. Each flower represents a different aspect of our life story, from love and joy to heartbreak and sorrow. Yet even in the darkest moments, there is still beauty to be found, and the flowers continue to grow and thrive.
Ultimately, the song is a reminder that even in death, we can still leave a lasting legacy behind. Whether it is through our words, our actions, or simply our memories, we can plant seeds that will grow and flourish long after we are gone. And even though we may not be there to see it, the fruit of our labors will continue to bear fruit for generations to come.

when they bury me
Upon my death
when my head pours into the ground
When my body is buried into the earth
my thoughts will all grow flowers
My memories will manifest into flowers
sprouting out all around
Blooming everywhere
some will be violet
Some will be purple in color
and yellow and green
While others will be yellow and green
and others will only be black
Others will be completely black
they'll tell my life's story
The flowers will narrate my life story
to all who walk by
To anyone who passes by
and there will be no hidden facts
There will be no secrets
don't be suprised
You shouldn't be surprised
if the flowers all have your eyes
If the flowers resemble you
and for petals your long flowing hair
And your hair is depicted in the petals
and though you'd like to pick them
And even though you'd want to pluck them
i'd rather you just left them there
I would prefer if you left them alone
when i said i loved you
When I expressed my love
the flowers all turned red
The flowers became red in color
when i broke your heart
When I hurt you
they all went pale instead
The flowers became discolored
when we kissed
When we kissed
the sun shown through in yellow
The light became yellow
when i did you wrong
When I mistreated you
the blackness crept in from below
The darkness became prominent
when i am dead and i am buried
When I pass away and am buried
in a long wooden box
In a coffin
alone with nothing but the dirt
Isolated with nothing but soil
myself, and my thoughts
Only my consciousness will be present
i will grow a mighty tree
A powerful tree will sprout
straight out of my heart
From deep within me
and the fruit will bear your name
The fruit will be named after you
and it will grow forever strong
And it will thrive perpetually
