Dead Flowers
Fading Blooms of Love: Coleta Valley's Poignant Reflections
Lyrics
Find what you want, take what you need
Expresses the idea of fulfilling personal desires and necessities.
I'll pack my things and I'll go
Implies the decision to leave or depart.
There's no words to say, or tears left to run
Suggests a lack of adequate expressions or emotions remaining.
But I guess as long as you know
Acknowledges the importance of the other person being aware of a particular sentiment or fact.
Well that makes one of us
Indicates a sense of solitude or realization on the speaker's part.
Could I mend the broken parts?
Questions the possibility of repairing the damaged aspects of the relationship.
Was it both of us?
Raises uncertainty about the responsibility for the relationship's failure.
Were we hopeless from the start?
Questions whether the relationship was destined for failure from its inception.
There were pictures on the wall of a brand new home
Describes images of a future life together.
Our last name on the door
Symbolizes commitment through shared ownership of a home.
But we tried and we tried so we go our ways alone
Highlights the unsuccessful attempts to salvage the relationship.
Now there's dead flowers on the bathroom floor
Uses dead flowers as a metaphor for the decay and end of the relationship.
Well you can tally up a book of all the words I've said
Implies regret for past actions and mistakes.
And the ways I did you wrong
Conveys acknowledgment of past wrongdoings.
But if I ever was the man that you deserved of me
Expresses the speaker's realization of not meeting the partner's expectations.
I wouldn't have to write this song
Reflects the desire to have been a better partner to avoid the current situation.
Cause it's just one of us that had to pack those bags and leave
Highlights the singular responsibility for leaving in the relationship.
Now I'm on the road, without you here beside me
Depicts the feeling of being alone and without the partner.
There were pictures on the wall of a brand new home
Reiterates the previous imagery of a hopeful future together.
Our last name on the door
Recalls the shared aspirations of a life as a couple.
But we tried and we tried so we go our ways alone
Underlines the failed attempts at reconciliation leading to separation.
Now there's dead flowers on the bathroom floor
Repeats the metaphor of dead flowers as a symbol of the relationship's demise.
Now each morning, when I rise
Expresses the newfound brightness and positivity in life post-breakup.
The sun shines brighter still
Symbolizes optimism and a positive outlook on life.
But I love the girl you always were
Expresses enduring love and admiration for the partner despite the separation.
And I know that I always will
Asserts the unwavering nature of the speaker's feelings for the partner.
But after all of this, I wish that I could call you my friend
Expresses a desire to maintain a friendly relationship despite the circumstances.
But after all of this, I would do it all again
Implies a willingness to go through the same experiences again despite the outcome.
There were pictures on the wall of a brand new home
