If We Were Flowers
Blossoming Emotions: Benny Oyama's If We Were Flowers Meaning
Lyrics
I don't really know what to say that can make it all better
I am unsure of what words to express that could improve the situation
I question how true it would be 'cause we change like the weather
I doubt the sincerity of our connection, as people undergo frequent changes similar to the unpredictable nature of weather
Would you still feel free
Would you still feel unrestrained and open?
To give yourself to me
Would you remain willing to share yourself with me?
If we were flowers
Imagine us as flowers
Blooming
Experiencing growth and beauty
Ah, ah
Repetition, perhaps emphasizing a transitional or reflective moment
Ah, ah
-Ah, ah
-Ah, ah
-Would you still feel free
Reiteration of the question about feeling free
To give yourself to me
Reiteration of the question about sharing oneself
If we were flowers
Reiteration of the imagery of being flowers
Blooming
Continuation of the metaphor of growth and blossoming
A shadow comes to kiss your hair
A shadow symbolically represents an aspect of darkness or uncertainty
And suddenly you've come aware
Awareness dawns as the shadow, possibly representing a negative element, interacts with the person
The darker side of love has come along
The challenging or difficult side of love becomes apparent
Would you still feel free
Reiteration of the inquiry regarding feeling free
To give yourself to me
Reiteration of the question about sharing oneself
If we were flowers
Reiteration of the metaphor of being flowers
Blooming
Emphasizing the ongoing process of growth and blossoming
Blooming
-Blooming
