Flowers
Willow Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Flowers of white
In April they've grown
In a green Field
Next to my home
I see them each day
When I walk out my door
They remind me of yesterday
And all days before
And the days here are yellow
The time runs in grey
The people dressed black and white
And green's what they say
And red are the flowers
That I got from you
But my favourite flowers of all
Are flowers of blue
So I got me some paint
And a brush really small
The white flowers blue
I painted them all
With the change in their color
Came a change in my heart
With the flowers all blue
As my own piece of art
And the days here are yellow
The time runs in grey
The people dressed black and white
And green's what they say
And red are the flowers that I got from you
But my favourite flowers of all
Are flowers of blue
Flowers of blue
Flowers of blue
If I only knew
Who to give them to
Now the flowers are gone
Their leaves carried away
By the strong winds
Of a late summer's day
And the days here are yellow
The time runs in grey
The people dressed black and White
And green's what they say
And red are the flowers
That I got from you
But my favourite flowers of all
Are flowers of blue
Flowers of blue
Under sky's blue dome




In a green field
Next to my home

Line by Line Meaning

You wished upon a star
You made a wish upon a star


Saw the mother snap back and now you're where you started
You saw someone experience a setback and end up back where they began


My heart aches when I see your face
My heart hurts when I see you


That's the story of this life but my soul saw it twice
This is the story of life, but I feel like I've lived it twice


Never had a problem but my soul seems to fight through the outer fist of life
I haven't really had any major problems, but I still feel like I'm constantly fighting against the difficulties of life


But it's the flower
But it's the beauty of life that makes it worth living


We were walking on clouds but greys came down and they wiped us all out
We were on top of the world, but something brought us crashing down


I wanna be an atlantian
I want to be a part of a mythical, enlightened civilization


Let's get the 10, let's get the 10 x 4
Let's achieve the highest level of success, four times over


And we'll knock down the door, knock down the door
We won't let anything stand in our way


We'll see what they've been hiding let me tell you bout the story of Poseidon
We'll uncover secrets and learn the legend of the Greek god Poseidon


He was a young boy who was enlightened, kinda like Jaden
Poseidon was a wise and enlightened young boy, similar to Jaden Smith


Kinda like the way we, look in the sky and we see the chem trails
Just like the way we look up and see contrails in the sky


And we nearly all cried, and then they just die we merely just tried to help them
We were all upset about the harm being caused, but ultimately we could only do so much


The government is tryna tryna sell them not help them
The government is more interested in profiting from the situation than actually helping


But, the indigos are here we remembered
But, those with special intuition and sensitivity are here and they remember what's truly important


Remembered how we can all shift the weather
Remembered that we have the power to influence and change our environment


Because, love is the air we breathe, the people we see
Because love is the essence of life - it surrounds us and shapes our experiences


The realization that were all in unity
The realization that we are all connected in some way


So you and me, and I and I
So all of us, no matter our differences


Were the flower
Are the beauty of life that makes it worth living
