Flowers
Blossoming Escape: The Afternooners' Ode to Nature and Responsibility
Lyrics
Jumping through flowers
Engaging in carefree and joyful activities, symbolized by jumping through flowers.
Wasting the night
Spending time wastefully during the night.
Freeing my time to run
Allocating time to escape or distance oneself.
Away from the stampede
Seeking refuge from a chaotic and overwhelming situation, possibly depicted as a stampede.
Away away from reality
Escaping from the harshness of reality.
Way back when
Referring to a past time, reminiscing about a previous era.
When the tree falls alone
Describing a scenario where a tree falls without anyone witnessing it.
No one knows, no one hears
Highlighting the unnoticed nature of events when they occur in isolation.
When the sun is burning up
Portraying the sun as intensely hot, possibly representing challenges.
Everyone sees, no one cares
Emphasizing the indifference of people to significant events or issues.
Why can't you see the Earth is ours
Pleading for recognition of Earth as a shared resource.
And we belong (We belong)
Expressing a sense of belonging to the Earth.
If we keep it up we won't last long
Warning about the potential consequences if environmental issues persist.
If we just help her maybe one day we could fly
Suggesting that helping the Earth could lead to positive outcomes, including the ability to "fly" metaphorically.
All you've got to do is try
Encouraging individuals to make an effort and try to make a positive impact.
When the tree falls alone
Repeating the theme of events going unnoticed when they occur in isolation, using the falling tree metaphor.
No one knows, no one hears
Reiterating the idea of events going unnoticed when happening alone.
When the sun is burning up
Highlighting the visibility of challenges or issues when they become intense, like a burning sun.
Everyone sees, no one cares
Emphasizing the general lack of concern despite the widespread visibility of problems.
When the tree falls alone
Repeating the motif of events going unnoticed, now referring to a falling tree alone.
No one knows, no one hears
Reiterating the idea of isolated events remaining unnoticed.
When the sun is burning up
Emphasizing the heightened visibility of challenges or issues, like a burning sun.
Everyone sees, no one cares
Highlighting the continued lack of concern despite the widespread visibility of problems.
