Palmas Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Flowers have grown here before
There's never any doubt, I couldn't live without her
What does she want me to do
With every new flower that blooms
There's one for my love, there's one for every thought of her
Flowers are blooming forever
You should be happy to see her
See her with you
I'll never get used to this place
The concrete that's under my legs
The one flowers greet
Going there to be with her
Sunshine in the valleys of gold
I want to be there growing old
It's never been so clear
I'll be happy when I'm there with her
(flowers are blooming 2x)
You should be glad for her (you should be glad)
Flowers are blooming forever
You should be happy for her (you should be happy for her)
Flowers are blooming forever
You should be glad for her (you should be glad)
Flowers are blooming forever
You should be happy to see her
See her with you
In the song "Flowers" by Palmas, the singer is expressing his love for a woman and the uncertainty that comes with it. The first verse states "Her love will never be sure, Flowers have grown here before, There's never any doubt, I couldn't live without her." The singer recognizes that there have been others who have fallen in love and experienced heartbreak in this same place, but despite the uncertainty, he knows he cannot live without her.
In the chorus, the singer addresses a third party, telling them that they should be happy for the woman because "flowers are blooming forever." This line could be interpreted in a few ways - one, as a metaphor for the longevity or endurance of love such as flowers that keep growing and blooming, or two, as a reference to the possibility of new beginnings and growth after endings, just like flowers grow in the spring after the long winter.
Throughout the rest of the song, the singer reflects on his desire to be with the woman, the discomfort he feels in the current place he is in, and his longing for a future with her. In the final chorus, he repeats the line "you should be glad for her" as a way to reiterate the importance of celebrating others and their happiness, even if it means sacrificing your own.
Overall, the song Flowers touches upon themes such as uncertainty, love, and growth. It encourages listeners to value the people they care about and to find hope in the present while also looking towards the future.
