“Flowers” is about the quiet exhaustion of always being the one who shows up, carries the weight, and keeps going when it would be easier to walk away. It speaks to the need for recognition, not fame or praise, but simple acknowledgment that the effort mattered. The song captures the feeling of waiting your whole life to hear “thank you,” and realizing how much that validation is tied to being able to finally rest, let go, and move forward.
Lyrics:
I’m the one who stays when it’s easier to run, I’ll carry the dark so you can see the sun, But every night I’m asking myself when does it come back to me?
Say it mattered, say I played my part, I’m just looking for a little calm
Just give me my flowers, ive been waiting. waiting my whole life,Just give me the flowers, i'm craving, I need them, I need them to move on.
I’m the one who fades when you don’t feel enough, I carry the weight of what you never touch, So every night I’m asking myself, When does it come back to me?
