Step On Flowers
Floral Footsteps: Navigating Love's Thorny Path
Lyrics
Summers were the worst stuck staring at my skin
Reflecting on challenging times during summers, feeling stuck and introspective about personal experiences.
But I knew just what to play to make me feel like a person again
Finding solace in music as a way to reconnect with one's sense of self and humanity.
Even though I heard the noise, I still saw your face in every passing car
Despite external distractions, memories of someone special persist, manifesting in unexpected places like passing cars.
I was bracing for the worst when I ask you how you are
Anticipating a difficult conversation and preparing for potential negative outcomes when asking about someone's well-being.
Built you a window but you just saw glass
Creating an opportunity for connection, but the other person only sees superficiality or barriers.
You step on flowers like they are the grass
Metaphorically expressing disregard for delicate things (flowers), treating them as if they are ordinary (grass).
Don't know the difference, didn't care to ask
Indifference towards understanding the nuances or differences, as demonstrated by not asking questions.
No I won't call you back
Choosing not to respond or engage after a negative experience.
I don't wanna call you back
Reaffirming the decision not to make contact, possibly due to emotional reasons.
You changed my favorite song, my favorite color too
Noting changes in personal preferences influenced by someone else, indicating a significant impact on the speaker's life.
I stuck around the morning after 'til the sky was your light blue
Remaining present through difficult times until the other person's influence dominates the speaker's world.
When I opened up my heart you couldn't find the time to even take a look
Expressing vulnerability by opening up emotionally, but the other person fails to reciprocate or acknowledge.
I wrote you notes in all the margins
Symbolizing efforts to communicate and connect through written expressions, but the recipient doesn't engage.
But you'd never read the book
Highlighting a lack of interest or effort from the other person to understand the speaker's deeper feelings.
Built you a window, but you just saw glass
Repetition of the metaphorical window, emphasizing the theme of unreciprocated efforts and misunderstanding.
You step on flowers like they are the grass
Continuation of the metaphor, suggesting a pattern of treating delicate matters with disregard and insensitivity.
Don't know the difference, didn't care to ask
Reiteration of the lack of interest in understanding differences or asking meaningful questions.
No I won't call you back
Consistent refusal to reconnect or respond, emphasizing emotional distance.
A lot of people leave when shit gets bad
Observation of people leaving during tough times, contrasting with the speaker's decision to stay resilient.
I stayed awake until the thunder passed
Enduring challenges until they pass, demonstrating a commitment to weathering difficulties.
Can't see the difference, never cared to ask
Emphasizing a lack of understanding or differentiation, symbolized by an inability to see the difference.
No I won't call you back
Reiteration of the refusal to reconnect or engage after challenges have passed.
I don't wanna call you back
Reaffirming the decision not to initiate contact, possibly due to lingering emotional impact.
And you never cared to ask
Highlighting the other person's consistent lack of interest in the speaker's well-being or experiences.
I don't wanna call you back
Final statement reinforcing the speaker's reluctance to initiate contact, emphasizing a desire to avoid further emotional strain.
