Petals
Wasia Project Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Orange juice
Cigarette
To get me through
As it rains
I conclude
I need help
From someone new
So take me in your spaceship
Throw me up into new places
Blast me into silence
Let your guidance get me through this
Gravity is pulling me
Along and I can't find a way to understand
Why I'm here again and again
I feel like everybody's singing out of tune
I feel like I can't help but always be so blue
But in the end I know I must keep pulling through
And brace myself for all the hell-like petals on the moon
Feeling cold
Train delayed
You've gone home
And I'm afraid
Helios
Sun divine
Hold me up
Into the sky
You take me in your spaceship, throw me up to constellations
Blast me into silence, let your guidance get me through this
Gravity is pulling me
Along and I can't find a way to understand
Why I'm here again and again, oh
I feel like everybody's singing out of tune (I feel so blue)
I feel like I can't help but always be so blue (keep pulling through)
But in the end I know I must keep pulling through
And brace myself for all the hell-like petals on the moon
Born again, alone again, again
Home again you're gone again, again
Will somebody be there for me when all my friends have left?
Even if I'm undone in the end, oh
I feel like everybody's singing out of tune (I feel so blue)
I feel like I can't help but always be so blue (keep pulling through)
But in the end I know I must keep pulling through
And brace myself for all the hell-like petals on the moon
The lyrics of Wasia Project's song "Petals on the Moon" convey a sense of sadness and loneliness that the singer is experiencing. The opening lines describe the singer's attempt to cope with their negative emotions by using a combination of orange juice and cigarettes. As they look outside and see the rain falling, they realize that they need help from someone new. The second verse continues this theme of helplessness and fear, with the singer being stranded in the cold due to a train delay and feeling left behind by a loved one.
The chorus of the song provides some hope for the singer, as they turn to their lover for comfort and support. They use the metaphor of a spaceship to describe the lover's ability to take them to new and exciting places, as well as their power to silence the singer's negative thoughts. However, the last line of the chorus reveals a sense of fatalism, as the singer accepts that they will have to endure difficulties ("hell-like petals on the moon") even with their lover's help.
The final section of the song adds another layer of complexity to the singer's struggles. They mention being "born again" and "alone again" multiple times, hinting at a cycle of loss and rebirth. They also express doubts about whether anyone will be there to support them when they need it most. Ultimately, the song leaves the listener with a bittersweet sense of hope and sadness, as the singer tries to push through their difficulties with the help of their lover but still feels uncertain about the future.

Even if I'm undone in the end, oh
Even if things don't work out, I will keep going
