Spiked Flower
Spiked Flower: Love's Acceleration in a World of Disappointment
Lyrics
You're gonna say it anyway
You anticipate that a particular statement will be made.
So you might as well say it to my face
Suggesting direct communication rather than avoidance.
You keep spiking me
Reference to the act of causing emotional pain or distress.
With small doses of love
Inflicting love in small but impactful measures.
200 miles an hour
A metaphorical speed emphasizing intensity.
You're a spiked flower
Describing the person as both alluring and dangerous.
In a white lace dress
Imagery of elegance and vulnerability.
I'm under duress
Feeling pressured or stressed in this situation.
Float in the sky and disarm
Suggesting a desire for elevation and peace.
There's no betrayal or pain
Claiming absence of betrayal or pain.
So why don't you talk to me?
Expressing a need for communication.
Disappointment broken dreams
Feelings of letdown and shattered aspirations.
A safe place where you protect me reborn in your lover's eyes
A haven where the speaker is safeguarded, reborn in love.
But hey, why don't you talk to me?
Reiterating the desire for communication.
Under constable skies
Describing the setting under the control of authorities.
A mild breeze in the field lies
Peaceful surroundings with a subtle lie.
Giant jellyfish live on land
Surreal imagery of jellyfish on land.
Ghost ride the whip
Engaging in reckless behavior.
Ghost ride the whip
Repetition of engaging in risky actions.
Remember the stars that shone way above your head?
Recollection of distant memories and celestial beauty.
I'm counting down the days until I know about you
Anticipation for learning more about someone.
Why don't you talk to me? Talk to me
Reiteration of the desire for conversation.
Yeah, why don't you talk to me?
Restating the plea for communication.
When you're set up for a fall
Caution against potential disappointment or betrayal.
Don't turn your back from the wall
Advice to stay vigilant and cautious.
The purge has just begun
A symbolic reference to a cleansing or purging process.
From a European son in a field
Connection to a European heritage and a field setting.
No need to sit on the fence
Encouragement to make decisions and not remain indecisive.
With your emotional intelligence
Highlighting the importance of emotional understanding.
In a white lace dress
Repetition of the imagery of a vulnerable person in a lace dress.
So why don't you talk to me?
Reiteration of the desire for communication.
Disappointment broken dreams
Recurrence of feelings of disappointment and shattered dreams.
A safe place where you protect me reborn in your lover's eyes
Repetition of the safe and rejuvenating power of love.
But hey, why don't you talk to me?
Reiteration of the plea for conversation.
But hey, why don't you talk to me?
Repetition of the plea for conversation.
You're a spiked flower
Reiteration of the dangerous yet attractive nature of the person.
