In "Clover" by The Radio Fields, the lyrics paint a picture of a sun-drenched meadow where plants thrive abundantly. The singer mentions how there is a crop that they cannot see, but it is one that is meant for both themselves and someone named Carrie Lee. The repetition of "All over, three-leaf clover, it's all over now" suggests that this situation or relationship has come to an end, leaving the singer with a lingering feeling of a hangover, both metaphorically and perhaps even literally.
The chorus continues to emphasize the symbolism of the three-leaf clover, representing luck or a chance at something better. The singer wonders what the future holds for "the you and me." It implies a sense of uncertainty and curiosity about whether their paths will cross again or if they will find closure.
The second half of the song introduces a list of flowers and plants: Gerbera, Chamomile, Scorpion Grass, Fleur-de-lis, and Feverfew. While the meaning behind this list may not be explicit, one can interpret it as a longing for healing, comfort, and a fresh start. These flowers and plants are often associated with their respective properties: beauty, relaxation, protection, elegance, and soothing.
Overall, "Clover" delves into themes of endings, reflection, and hopes for new beginnings. It captures the bittersweet nature of moving on, leaving the listener with a sense of longing for closure and healing.
