dead flowers.
Echoes of Unspoken Words
Lyrics
It's been a while since we last spoke
Reflecting on a significant gap in communication
Did you forget my voice or do I have a lump in my throat?
Questioning if there's a physical or emotional barrier to communication
Are you happy where you are or do you have regrets?
Wondering about the emotional state and satisfaction with current circumstances
Do you have enough time to spend with your friends?
Concern about the availability of time for social connections
And all along I wanted you to know
Expressing a desire for the listener to understand the speaker's well-being
I'm doing alright and the days they go slow
Describing a slow passage of time in the speaker's life
If I bring you dead flowers
Symbolic gesture of bringing dead flowers as an offering
Would you feel the same as me?
Questioning whether this gesture would evoke a similar emotional response in the listener
If I talk to you for hours
Desiring prolonged conversation with the listener
Can I pretend that you agree?
Questioning the possibility of imagining agreement in conversation
As they sink into the dirt
Contemplating the sinking of the flowers into the ground
Can you feel the warmth and all the hurt?
Asking if the listener can sense both warmth and pain
If I reach out do you hear me?
Questioning the listener's receptiveness to the speaker's attempts at communication
Or am I talking to myself under this tree?
Doubting if the listener is truly engaged in the conversation
Do you feel like there's too much that you missed?
Concern about missed experiences or opportunities
Did you finish everything that's on your bucket list?
Asking if the listener completed their life goals
Sometimes I remember how long you've been gone
Reflecting on the extended absence of the listener
It's hard to stand still but worse to move on
Feeling torn between staying stagnant and moving forward
I just thought I'd bring something for you
Presenting a symbolic gift as a means of support
Cuz when my thoughts get scattered you can pull me through
Recognizing the listener's potential to provide stability in chaotic times
If I bring you dead flowers
Reiteration of offering dead flowers as a gesture
Would you feel the same as me?
Repeating the query about emotional resonance
If I talk to you for hours
Desire for extended communication with the listener
Can I pretend that you agree?
Questioning the plausibility of shared understanding in conversation
As they sink into the dirt
Reiteration of flowers sinking and the associated emotions
Can you feel the warmth and all the hurt?
Questioning if the listener can perceive conflicting emotions
If I reach out do you hear me?
Uncertainty about the listener's responsiveness
Or am I talking to myself under this tree?
Doubting the effectiveness of communication with the listener
And in autumn when the leaves fall
Comparing the passing of time to the erasure of memories
Its like we've never been there at all
Noting the feeling of absence or non-existence in certain moments
Time won't stop time to grow up
Recognizing the inevitability of growth and maturity
Life without you will have to be enough
Acceptance of life continuing without the listener
If I bring you dead flowers
Repetition of offering dead flowers and questioning emotional alignment
Would you feel the same as me?
Reiteration of desire for prolonged conversation with the listener
If I talk to you for hours
Questioning the feasibility of shared agreement in conversation
Can I pretend that you agree?
Desiring emotional connection through conversation
As they sink into the dirt
Reiteration of flowers sinking and the associated emotions
Can you feel the warmth and all the hurt?
Questioning if the listener can perceive both warmth and pain
If I reach out do you hear me?
Uncertainty about the listener's responsiveness
Or am I talking to myself under this tree?
Doubting the effectiveness of communication with the listener
I know you hear me
A firm belief in the listener's ability to hear
I feel you near me
Sensing the presence or influence of the listener
I loved you dearly
Expressing deep affection and attachment to the listener
Please say you hear me
Seeking confirmation of being heard and understood
