about
Flower touches on the emotional maturity of a relationship and the struggles to grow it fruitfully. Trying to face ego, stubbornness or the unwillingness to accept defeat. Losing ones self in pursuit of a soul mate and how a break up can lead to acting like you never knew them. Joined by Alex Ford and Liona Tatafu, this song is one for the hearts and heartbroken.
lyrics
D.T
Lately my hearts been torn,
Walking through painful gardens
Bloodshed from all these thorns
All said was beg your pardon
I can not see myself,
Of one of fame or power
I must not know myself,
Just to get to your flower
Vrs1
I’ve been alone to core
Tired of shit
Tried to resist
You can’t be the blame no more
This will never stick
I’m pessimistic
I wonder why I’m not yours
Is it the, lack of the money bags
Or, could it be that I can’t relax
Or
I just push til we hit a lap
Realised that the car has been running flats
Uh,
Can’t feel if I’m not attached
Hook
Lately my hearts been torn,
Walking through painful gardens
Bloodshed from all these thorns
All said was beg your pardon
I can not see myself,
Of man of fame or power
I must not know myself,
Just to get to your flower
Vrs 2
Taking accountability, with unbalanced health
How can I be doing me, if I don’t know myself
Feet sinking into the soil, dropped the bouquet now I act like I don’t know you
Not the problem child, I’m the Goyo
Overwatered fantasies, now the flowers spoilt
We got problems we ignore it
if it’s the last pedal I got dibs so I can store it
Maybe to you it’s not important
Now my heart turned to blood orange
Hook
Alex Ford Vrs
Busy bee I buzz like
Couple bud lights
Got me mistaken sunshine
With these club lights
Rose yelling what’s fly
As I a buzz by I really like your perfume But you uptight And then I saw this flower Stretching up high
whenever I’m around her
I’m such a tough guy I never was a coward But now I see why My only super powers Death by design
I wish to rewind Be cool and be kind For me and bee kind We lose what we find Ego and my pride In front of my eyes Instinct from behind Lash out and we die
