As Flowers Wilt
Ephemeral Love's Farewell: As Flowers Wilt
Lyrics
I Tried!
"I Tried!"
He said as he looked into her eyes
Expressing a statement made by someone looking into the eyes of another person
Mascara tears left streaming down her cheeks
Describing tears marked by mascara running down the cheeks
As flowers wilt, he bled the guilt
Comparing the withering of flowers to feeling guilt while bleeding emotionally
It came as no surprise
Expressing that the situation wasn't surprising
This is the last time that she'll ever say goodbye
Indicating that this instance will be the final time she'll bid farewell
And as she turned to walk away
Depicting her turning away to leave
She felt the wind whisper his name
Suggesting a feeling of the wind whispering his name as she turns
Turned around and he was gone
Indicating his disappearance when she turned back
You always were the one
Acknowledging the person's importance
So before I slip from this withered shell
Expressing a desire to depart from a deteriorating state before losing identity
Walk away while you still have the chance
Encouraging the other person to depart while there's still a chance
Walk away while you have the chance
Reiterating the advice to leave while there's an opportunity
The lives we lead and the lies we tell
Highlighting the discrepancy between the lives we lead and the falsehoods we tell
Fall like autumn leaves
Comparing deceit to falling autumn leaves
To the bottom of the wishing well
Imagining dishonesty sinking to the depths like discarded wishes
With the petals that dried
Referencing dried petals as remnants of something lost
And as you turn to walk away
Reflecting the act of turning away
(And as you turn to walk away)
Repeating the sensation of feeling the wind whispering the person's name
You felt the wind whisper my name
Reiterating the disappearance upon turning back
(You felt the wind whisper my name)
Repeating the sensation of the wind whispering the person's name
Turned around and I was gone
Reflecting the absence after the turnaround
But you will have my love
Assuring that despite absence, the love will persist
