Lloyd P-White Lyrics

The lyrics of "Flowers" by Lloyd P-White appear to be a plea for a loved one who has gone missing, referred to as "flower boy." The repetition of the lines, "Flower boy, where have you gone?" and "Flower boy, why this long?" suggest that the singer is deeply concerned about the absence of this person. The line "Flower boy, I miss you" emphasizes the singer's emotional attachment to the missing person.

The final lines, "Flower boy is on his way / Flower boy didn't make it / Flower boy is gone again / Flower boy, where have you gone," indicate that the singer has some knowledge of the missing person's whereabouts, but is still unsure of their status. The repetition of "Flower boy, where have you gone," at the end of the song suggests a sense of hopelessness or desperation, as if the singer knows that their loved one may never return.

As a whole, the lyrics of "Flowers" can be interpreted as a metaphor for the transience of life and the inevitability of loss. Like flowers that bloom and wither away, people come and go in our lives, and we must learn to cherish each moment and each relationship while we have them. The repeated refrain of "Flower boy, where have you gone?" could be seen as a lament for this fleeting nature of life, and a reminder to hold onto the people we love while we still can.
