flowers
Ice Dragon Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

when they bury me
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

Overall Meaning

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.

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
