Green Flowers, Blue Fish
Unveiling the Fragile Canvas of Love
Lyrics
You gave me the keys, but not to your home
You entrusted me with certain privileges, but not the intimacy of your home.
The porcelain locks, they just wouldn't hold
The delicate locks made of porcelain couldn't withstand pressure, perhaps symbolizing emotional barriers.
Against my shoulder, against the cold
Despite my attempts to comfort or shield you, the emotional coldness prevailed.
They gave right in and went on in
Your defenses gave way easily, allowing me access.
You put on your helmet, just to breathe
You took precautions, perhaps putting on a figurative helmet, but didn't actually leave the situation.
You put on your shoes, but you did not leave
You prepared to depart by putting on your shoes, yet you stayed.
You made you mind up and took it all back
You initially made a decision, but later reconsidered and reversed your choices.
You flew your plane home with the boxes you packed
You returned home, taking with you the belongings you had packed earlier.
You filled your vase full but the flowers all died
You tried to beautify your surroundings, but your efforts were in vain as the flowers died.
You painted them green but the paint would not dry
Your attempt to change the appearance of the flowers by painting them green failed.
You linked up a list of thinks not to say
You created a list of things to avoid saying, possibly to prevent further complications.
I put in the tape and began to play
I played a tape, perhaps symbolizing an attempt to distract or cope.
You made your mind up but the thoughts came unstacked
You made a decision, but your thoughts became disorganized and contradictory.
You flew your plane home, but I flew it back
You returned, but I counteracted your actions by reclaiming control or influence.
You filled the lake full, but the fish they all died
You filled a lake, a substantial emotional space, but experienced a metaphorical death as the fish perished.
You painted them blue, but the paint would not dry
Your attempt to alter the essence of the fish by painting them blue was unsuccessful.
You filled your vase full but the flowers all died
You again tried to enhance your surroundings with flowers, but they withered.
You painted them too, but the paint would not dry
Similar to the fish, your effort to change the appearance of the flowers through painting failed.
