Flower Drown (Original Demo)

from Retro by Time Baby

about

When I wrote the lyrics to "Flower Drown," I knew I wanted it to be long and imposing song. My first instinct was to make it a towering noisescape that was somewhere between Lovesliescrushing and SunnO))). I was never able to execute it the way I wanted to, but I still kind of appreciate this original version for the failed experiment that it is.

lyrics

On a night you don't remember
We dreamed under the same sky
Side by side, black and cold
But you'll remember tonight
Side by side, black and cold
I'm dreaming in your eyes
In your hands...

Weeks have passed in dreams
And as it grows colder and colder
You acquiesce, finally and beautifully
And you'll remember tonight
Amnesiac girl, a sea of flowers
Crushed on your body
I'm in your hands

It's colder now than when I went to sleep
Waking in an ocean
Drowning in flowers

Now under the sunlit sky
I caress to half-objections
But we find our way home
I find my way beneath you
As we disintegrate into flowers
Powdered and scattered
I'm in your hands

It's colder now than when I went to sleep
Waking in an ocean
Drowning in flowers

Again and again we collapse
And when I'm old, I'll want these days back
But here in youth the tears seem endless
Flowers have resolved into another body
Another ocean
I'm drowning in the two of you
And you've already forgotten

It's colder now than when I went to sleep
Waking in an ocean
Drowning in flowers
