Asking for Flowers
Blossoming Regrets: Unveiling the Complex Symphony of Asking for Flowers
Lyrics
It's complicated
Expressing a complex or intricate situation.
Technically I'm certified
Stating that the speaker is officially recognized or qualified.
A walking declaration
Describing oneself as a clear indication or statement.
Of everything I couldn't get right
Acknowledging past mistakes or failures.
Time is just an anchor
Suggesting that time can be burdensome or restraining.
But seven years I think I'm right
Reflecting on a period of seven years with a sense of certainty.
Now you've changed your number
Noting a change in contact information, possibly signifying a break in communication.
It's like a noose around my life
Comparing the changed contact information to a restrictive and suffocating force.
Every pill I took in vain
Acknowledging ineffective efforts through unsuccessful medication.
Every meal for you I made
Highlighting the speaker's dedication in preparing meals for someone.
Every penny I put away
Indicating financial efforts that did not yield the desired outcome.
Asking for flowers
Suggesting that requesting affection or kindness is as challenging as asking for flowers.
Is like asking you to be nice
Emphasizing the difficulty in seeking niceness from someone.
Don't tell me you're too tired
Rejecting excuses of fatigue, possibly in the context of a strained relationship.
Ten years I've been working nights
Revealing a decade of working during nighttime hours.
My life is like a picture left
Comparing the speaker's life to a faded picture left exposed to the sun for too long.
Out too long in the sun
Expressing a sense of fading or eroding identity.
Now I'm trying to remember all
Recalling the challenge of remembering the people once loved.
The faces of the names I've loved
Reflecting on the speaker's attempt to recall lost connections.
And all that's left of me now is
Describing the remnants of the speaker as a burning cigarette and fading memories.
A cigarette burning bright
Indicating the struggle to do things right in the past.
And a fading memory of all the things
Conveying the persistence of memories related to past efforts.
I tried to get right
Expressing regrets about things that couldn't be done correctly.
Every pill I took in vain
Reiterating the futile nature of certain medication attempts.
Every meal for you I made
Recalling the effort of preparing meals for someone without the desired outcome.
Every penny I put away
Highlighting financial efforts that did not lead to the intended result.
Asking for flowers
Reiterating the difficulty in seeking kindness, comparing it to asking for flowers.
Is like asking you to be nice
Emphasizing the challenge in expecting niceness from someone.
Don't tell me you're too tired
Rejecting tiredness as an excuse in the context of a long-term commitment.
10 years I've been working nights
Revealing another ten years of working during nighttime hours.
Every pill I took in vain
Recalling ineffective medication attempts.
Every meal for you I made
Reiterating the effort of preparing meals for someone without the desired outcome.
Every bill I went and paid
Noting the payment of bills as part of unfulfilled efforts.
Every card I signed my name
Highlighting the act of signing one's name on bills without achieving the desired outcome.
Every time I poured my heart out
Recalling instances of emotional vulnerability and openness.
Every threat you made to move out
Remembering threats made by someone to leave.
Every cruel word you let just slip out
Recalling hurtful words spoken by someone.
Every cruel word you let just slip out
Reiterating the impact of hurtful words in the form of repetition.
