Lyrics
Look how the wind blows
Observation of the wind's movement
Brings all the whistles
Wind brings various sounds
Look how the water flows
Observation of water's flow
Like a broken mirror
Metaphorical comparison to a broken mirror
And all the flowers are covered in blood
Imagery of flowers tainted with blood, suggesting pain or conflict
Look how the wind blows
Repetition of wind's effect, emphasizing its significance
Brings all the pieces
Wind scatters pieces, possibly symbolizing disruption or chaos
Off the flowers
Pieces are from destroyed flowers, indicating loss or damage
I’ve destroyed
Personal admission of destructive actions
Don’t stop the water ‘cause it puts out
Advising against stopping the water, which symbolically extinguishes personal fires
All the fires
Recognition of the need to put out self-made fires
I’ve lit on
Confession of igniting personal struggles
Come by and see my saint insanity
Invitation to witness inner turmoil labeled as "saint insanity"
Come well and stay here for eternity
Invitation to stay in the singer's troubled world
Feel free, but don’t ever leave me
Desire for companionship without abandonment
Why can’t I say goodbye?
Questioning difficulty in parting ways
Look how the wind blows
Reiteration of wind's impact
Brings all the whistles
Repetition of wind bringing sounds
Look how the water flows
Reiteration of observing water's flow
Like a broken mirror
Repetition of broken mirror metaphor
And all the flowers are covered in blood
Reiteration of flowers tainted with blood
Look how my sins flow
Personal acknowledgment of flowing sins
Like a river
Comparing sins to a river, emphasizing continuity
Full of shards and
River made of flaws, signifying imperfections
Made by flaws
Attribution of flaws as the source of the river
Please stop the whistles ‘cause they lit on
Request to stop the wind's effects on personal struggles
All the fires
Linking whistles to self-made fires
I don’t want
Expression of not wanting personal struggles
Come by and see my saint insanity
Repetition of inviting others to witness inner turmoil
Come well and stay here for eternity
Repetition of invitation to stay in the singer's troubled world
Feel free, but don’t ever leave me
Repetition of desiring companionship without abandonment
Why can’t I say, goodbye?
Reiteration of difficulty in saying goodbye
Come by and see my saint insanity
Repetition of inviting others to witness inner turmoil
Come well and stay here for eternity
Repetition of invitation to stay in the singer's troubled world
Feel free, but don’t ever leave me
Repetition of desiring companionship without abandonment
Why can’t I say, goodbye?
Reiteration of difficulty in saying goodbye
