Lyrics

To see age in a flower

To find signs of aging or passing of time within a flower

The dawns are speeding up

The beginnings or mornings are accelerating

You know it'll hurt you

Awareness that something will cause emotional pain

Feel all of a sudden

Suddenly experiencing intense emotions

Tired and teary-eyed

Feeling fatigued and tearful

You knew it'd kill you

Realizing something will harm or emotionally affect deeply


Don't wear a tie that'll choke you to death in the city

Metaphorical advice against conforming to constraints that could be harmful in an urban environment

Take it off and forget

Suggesting removing oneself from potentially harmful situations and letting go

Spare the fret that'll make you miss all of summer

Advising against worrying excessively that might cause missing out on enjoyable times

Sweat it out and forgive

Enduring difficulties and choosing to forgive


To see loss in a shower

Perceiving the sense of loss amidst a display of falling flower petals

The petals turn to mush

Flower petals decomposing or losing their form

It still disappoints you

Continuing to feel let down or dissatisfied

Then less of a sudden

Gradually experiencing reduced disappointment

You wire your weary mind

Directing thoughts and feelings towards suspicion or skepticism

To let it deceive you

Allowing oneself to be misled or fooled


Don't force a smile that'll make you resent the city

Advising against forcing a false happiness that could lead to resentment in an urban setting

Play it soft and forgive

Encouraging a gentle approach and embracing forgiveness

Keep the frown that'll make you squint in the summer

Suggesting not to pretend happiness that might cause discomfort during a joyful time

Play it slow and forget

Advising to slow down and let go of stress or worries
