Mountains Out of Broken Men
Echoes of Lost Time: Nobody's Flowers Unveils the Painful Symphony
Lyrics
You smile like a girl in tears
You display a smile that resembles that of a girl in tears
Who's wasted all her years
Someone who has wasted all her years in search of something she knew could never exist
Searching for someone you always knew could not exist
You express anger only when you close your eyes, perhaps avoiding confronting certain emotions
You're only angry when you close your eyes
Roses at rest, indicating a sense of finality or closure
Resting roses on their sides
You have left everything behind
You left it all behind you
You've already taken too much time
You've taken a considerable amount of time
Funeral flowers on my mind
Funeral flowers are a persistent thought in the speaker's mind
Take me out and let me show you the night
The speaker requests to be taken out to experience the night and share dreams
Bringing dreams from dark to light
Turning dreams from darkness to light
You pray for rain and then you just complain
A criticism of praying for rain and then complaining, possibly implying ungratefulness
I've made a mess out of much less
The speaker has created chaos out of situations with much less complexity
You've made mountains out of broken men
You've magnified problems, turning them into insurmountable challenges
You are as tortured and unwanted as those letters you'll never send
You are as troubled and rejected as the unsent letters
You've already taken too much time
Similar to line 8, suggesting a repeated theme of time being a significant factor
Funeral flowers on my mind
The persistent thought of funeral flowers lingers in the speaker's mind
I've already taken all your time
The speaker has consumed all the listener's time
Funeral flowers on my mind
Funeral flowers are still on the speaker's mind, reinforcing a sense of loss or mourning
I'm nervous but I'm not impressed
The speaker is nervous but unimpressed
You were alone in a party dress
Describing someone who was alone, adorned in a party dress
cnd there's no more words to say they all got lost along the way
Communication has broken down, and words are lost along the way
I only hope you can find a place
The speaker hopes for the listener to find a place with a quiet and familiar grace
That has a quiet familiar grace
A place to rest until the end
You can rest your weary head until you see your last day
Resting one's weary head until the last day
