Flowers
Williams Rozz Lyrics

This is my favorite sad story,
The singer is about to tell a story that is depressing to them but that they find appealing.

Forget me not or I'll forget myself
The singer is asking the listener to not forget about them, because they feel that they will literally lose their identity if they are forgotten.

I've got quite a few things that I'm afraid of
The singer has many fears that they are struggling with.

Sometimes I just can't face myself
The artist is having trouble dealing with their own thoughts and emotions, causing them to retreat from themselves.

I guess I'll tuck myself away tonight, You know it's been one of those days.
The artist is feeling exhausted and overwhelmed, and plans to retreat or withdraw for the night to cope.

Every pretty flower, Every lovely flower, Every deadly flower Hides its light inside of shame.
All beautiful things, whether innocent or harmful, are burdened by a feeling of unworthiness and conceal their true selves.

I do not know why you don't know, I cannot reap what you have sown Beneath this blanket of loose soil, Wrapped around my mortal coil.
The singer doesn't understand why the listener doesn't see things the same way they do, and feels powerless to change the circumstances of their own life.

Well a stem is not a rose, But that's how my garden grows. I can't see the forest for the trees, The stinking poison for disease Now it's all shot to hell and back again.
The artist has difficulty discerning details and is struggling to see the larger picture, which has led to chaos and destruction in their life.

I seek redemption for the Same old sins and I fall on my knees, And I pray that all the poppies they They will just fade away. But fields of poppies they remain.
The artist desires forgiveness for past wrongdoings, but is finding it difficult to escape the consequences of their actions.

That's how they found me last time, dead
The artist has died before due to their struggles, and is afraid of dying again.

Irises lay in spring mud, Where lovers drown each other's sorrows, Where lovers dream about tomorrows. As for me I drown another kind as Sadness runs course through my veins.
The singer sees others finding joy and hope in life, but for themselves, they only feel sadness and despair.

Posie wreaths they crown me. My heart, My heart I should just fade away, fade away Like a flower
The artist feels like they are trapped or caged by their circumstances, and wishes they could just disappear like a flower wilting away.
