| Califone – The Orchids Lyrics | 14 years ago |

this song can be interpreted several ways. to me he talks of the wee hours of the morning when time is irrelevant and shadows stand still and of a girl or a relationship that had ended but on this night is rekindled and the damage it causes is that of a fly trap but its beauty is that of a petal. No matter how hard they try they cant close this chapter. "when dreams made real become less sweet" is the realisation that this relationship is more beautiful in songs, poems and letters but in reality it gets bitter and loses its beauty. the orchid and the metal - the tenderness of the flower but the crasness and coldness of metal. my sex turns is indicative of the sexual nature of the relationship his claws rush in to fill them "them" being the empty spaces between them and int he mornings light he relaises that he loves her. justa thought. |
