Where Flowers Fade
Navigating the Chaos: A Tale of Morals and Manhattan
Lyrics
I'm pushed and pulled and shunted,
I experience constant pressure and manipulation.
Man-handled and man-hunted,
I am treated forcefully and pursued by others.
By those faceless names.
I am influenced by people with no distinct identities.
You've got nine lives,
You have more chances at life than I do.
I've got eight,
I have fewer opportunities or chances.
I just can't wait
I eagerly anticipate a moment to secure myself away.
To lock the door,
A desire to isolate myself by locking doors and abandoning responsibilities.
And throw the keys away.
An intention to disconnect and escape from external pressures.
I'll call as soon as it's all over,
I will contact you when everything is resolved.
Let's wait until the World is sober.
Suggesting a delay until global issues or chaos settle down.
The World is wide,
Commenting on the vastness of the world.
Manhattan chase,
Reference to a pursuit or chase in Manhattan.
Misguided missiles spin in space,
Highlighting the misguided nature of certain actions or events.
I feel like a sundial in the shade,
Feeling unnoticed and unimportant, akin to a sundial in shadow.
Where flowers fade...
Expressing a sense of melancholy or decay, possibly symbolized by fading flowers.
I feel like a poor relation,
Feeling like a less fortunate or less valued person.
Passing through an empty station,
Passing through a desolate and uninhabited place.
On this empty track.
Experiencing a sense of emptiness or lack of direction.
I'm half poverty,
Half of my existence is marked by poverty.
Half oysters,
Half of my identity is associated with vulnerability (oysters).
No morals,
Expressing a lack of ethical principles.
Tarnished laurels,
Referring to achievements or honors that have lost their luster.
Going nowhere fast.
Feeling stuck and making no progress.
You don't get smoke without a fire,
Highlighting the idea that consequences come from actions.
Next time I'll vote for Billy Liar.
Expressing a willingness to support a fictional character (Billy Liar).
I hate liars,
Strongly disliking dishonesty.
I hate cheats,
Strongly disliking deception or fraud.
Waving flags and saving nations,
Criticizing the superficial patriotism of waving flags.
Goodbye love, Goodbye Peace,
Bidding farewell to love and peace.
I hate war,
Expressing a strong aversion to war.
It ruins conversation.
Highlighting the detrimental impact of war on communication.
