Cut the Flowers
Eternal Devotion: Echoes from a Cemetery
Lyrics
We'll take you flowers at this cemetery
We will bring flowers to this graveyard.
Fallen stones
Stones that have fallen or collapsed.
None of them known to me
None of the stones belong to someone familiar.
There are so many precious few words here
There are very few meaningful words present in this place.
Devoted
Dedicated or committed.
Alone
Isolated or on one's own.
For all those years you came here
Throughout the years, you visited this place.
Cut the flowers at this cemetery
Cut the flowers as an action in the graveyard.
Left here standing
Left standing in the graveyard.
You and me
You and I left in the graveyard.
Three, together.
Three individuals together in this place.
The whispering trees
Reference to the sound of trees communicating softly.
And the aeroplanes
Mention of airplanes, possibly symbolizing departure or transition.
Calling us out
A call or beckoning from the trees and airplanes.
Just the whispering trees
Focus returns to the soft communication of trees.
And you
Addressing a loved one in the graveyard.
My precious love
Expressing deep affection for a loved one.
Looking out
Observing from the graveyard.
There are so many precious few words here
Similar to line 5, emphasizing the scarcity of meaningful words.
Devoted
Being dedicated or committed, possibly to memory.
Alone
Being alone or isolated in the graveyard.
For all those years you came here
Throughout the years, you visited this place.
For all those years you came here
Repeated expression of the enduring visits to the graveyard.
