The Flowers (1979-1980) were a Post-Punk band from Edinburgh, Scotland who recorded for Bob Last's FAST Product and Pop Aural record labels. They featured Hilary Morrison on vocals (also the wife of Bob Last) and drummer Simon Best, who was connected to Leeds Post-Punk pioneers The Mekons and Delta 5. They made their first recorded appearance on FAST Product compilation "Earcom 1" and that was then followed by two singles for Pop Aural. They were also featured on the American and Canadian versions of the FAST singles compilation "Mutant Pop". Unfortunately they never got around to recording a full-length album and presumedly broke-up around 1980/81. Singer Hilary Morrison was also featured singing backup vocals on two other Pop Aural singles, Restricted Code's "First Night On" (1980) and The Fire Engines' "Big Gold Dream" (1981).

Lonely Boy
The Flowers Lyrics

Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴

Bersinar mentari terbit, menyambut pagi
Menusuk hening hatiku, sadarkan aku
Yang berada di antara ada dan tiada
Sendirian nggak berteman
Oh, I'm so lonely

Berikanlah aku perhatian
Nggak boleh lo asik sendirian (nggak boleh)

Berikanlah aku senyuman
Walau palsu, aku 'kan menunggu

Perlahan siang menghilang berganti senja
Ku termenung sendirian, mengharap kawan
Lalu ku berjalan gontai menyambut malam
Yang sama seperti pagi
Oh, I'm so lonely

Berikanlah aku perhatian
Nggak boleh lo asik sendirian (nggak boleh)
Berikanlah aku senyuman
Walau palsu, aku 'kan menunggu, yeah

Kuusir rasa gengsi
Harga diriku mati
Demi aku, kau temani, yeah, yeah

Pron, yok
Wuh!

Berikanlah aku perhatian
Nggak boleh lo asik sendirian (nggak boleh)
Berikanlah aku senyuman
Walau palsu, aku 'kan menunggu

Walau palsu, aku 'kan menunggu
Walau palsu, aku 'kan menunggu

Yeah, yeah, yeay, ih
Yeah, yeah

The Flowers’ song “Lonely Boy” is about the feeling of loneliness and the desire for attention and companionship. The first verse describes the sunrise and how it pierces the silence of the singer’s heart, making them aware of their loneliness.

The chorus, repeated twice, asks for attention and a smile to combat the singer’s loneliness.

The bridge in the song suggests that the singer is willing to abandon their pride and ego to make friends and overcome loneliness. The repetition of the line “I’ll wait even if it’s fake” in the chorus also highlights the desperation and longing for companionship.

Overall, the song captures the universal feeling of loneliness and the desire for human connection. The lyrics are simple yet poignant, and the catchy melody adds to the emotional impact of the song.

Bersinar mentari terbit, menyambut pagi
The rising sun shines, greeting the morning

Menusuk hening hatiku, sadarkan aku
It pierces my silent heart, waking me up

Yang berada di antara ada dan tiada
Being in between existence and non-existence

Sendirian nggak berteman
Alone, without any companions

Oh, I'm so lonely
Oh, I feel so lonely

Berikanlah aku perhatian
Give me attention

Nggak boleh lo asik sendirian (nggak boleh)
You can't be cool alone (you can't)

Berikanlah aku senyuman
Give me a smile

Walau palsu, aku 'kan menunggu
Even if it's fake, I'll wait for it

Pelah siang menghilang berganti senja
The afternoon disappears, replaced by sunset

Ku termenung sendirian, mengharap kawan
I ponder alone, hoping for a friend
