Flower

Flower
Turn the ugly light off god
Want to feel the night
Everyday it shines down on me
Don't you think that I see
Don't you think that I see what it's all about
Hard to look the other way
While the world passes me by
And everyone is trying to bum me out

It's a pretty big world god
And I am awful small
Everyday they rain down on me
Flower in a hailstorm
Flower in a hailstorm
I'm living for the drought
I could throw it back at them
But then I play their game
Everyone is trying to bum me out
When I came into this world they slapped me
And everyday since then I'm slapped again
Tomorrow's king: an unsightly coward
You see, I know I'm gonna win
Turn the ugly light off god
Don't want to see my face
Everyday it will betray me
Don't you think that I know
Don't you think that I know what they're talking about
If they step on me tonight
They're gonna pay someday
Everyone is trying to bum me out
En la canción 'Flower' de Eels, el narrador expresa su deseo de apagar la luz fea que lo rodea para poder sumergirse en la noche y escapar de la luz que constantemente brilla sobre él...
