Sunflower
Stanaj Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Yeah...

And you're left in the dust
Unless I stuck by ya
You're the sunflower
I think your love would be too much
Or you'll be left in the dust
Unless I stuck by ya
You're the sunflower
You're the sunflower

Needless to say, I keep her in check
She was all bad-bad, nevertheless
Callin' it quits now, baby, I'm a wreck
Crash at my place, baby, you're a wreck

Needless to say, I'm keepin' her check
She was all bad-bad, nevertheless
Callin' it quits now, baby, I'm a wreck
Crash at my place, baby, you're a wreck

Thinkin' in a bad way, losin' your grip
Screamin' at my face, baby, don't trip
Someone took a big L, don't know how that felt
Lookin' at you sideways, party on tilt

Ooh-ooh
Some things you just can't refuse
She wanna ride me like a cruise
And I'm not tryna lose

Then you're left in the dust
Unless I stuck by ya
You're the sunflower
I think your love would be too much
Or you'll be left in the dust
Unless I stuck by ya
You're the sunflower
You're the sunflower

Every time I'm leavin' on you
You don't make it easy, no, no
Wish I could be there for you
Give me a reason to go

Every time I'm walkin' out
I can hear you tellin' me to turn around
Fightin' for my trust and you won't back down
Even if we gotta risk it all right now, oh

I know you're scared of the unknown, yeah
You don't wanna be alone
I know I always come and go, yeah
But it's out of my control

And you'll be left in the dust
Unless I stuck by ya
You're the sunflower
I think your love would be too much
Or you'll be left in the dust
Unless I stuck by ya
You're the sunflower
You're the sunflower
Oh baby, oh yeah
You're the sunflower




Yeah yeah
'Cause you're the sunflower

Overall Meaning

In the song "Sunflower" by Stanaj, the artist seems to be talking about a lover who needs his protection and support, or else they'll be "left in the dust." This person is compared to a sunflower, a beautiful plant that needs the warmth of the sun to survive. The chorus repeats the line "you're the sunflower," emphasizing the person's importance and vulnerability. The verses provide more detail about the relationship between the singer and his lover. He keeps her "in check" and refers to her as "all bad-bad," suggesting that she has some flaws or problems. The singer also seems to be going through some issues himself, as he refers to himself as a "wreck" and describes thinking "in a bad way." However, he still wants to be there for his lover and is willing to risk everything to be with her.


Overall, "Sunflower" is a song about the ups and downs of a relationship, with both people struggling and needing each other's support. The sunflower metaphor is a powerful one, suggesting that love can help us to grow and thrive like a plant in the sun, but without that love and support, we may wither away. In the end, the song seems to be about the importance of sticking together through the tough times and being there for each other no matter what.
