"The flowers often bloom at night" is probably referring to the fact that Mushrooms in general and the Amanita Muscaria will bloom overnight, ancient peoples would watch the growth cycle carefully and documented its changes. as it goes from spore all the way through the "grail" stage back down to its ashes. Rainwater or dew would collect in the "grail" stage of the mushroom and the shamans would drink the water which would be red, now imagine the blood of jesus in the "holy grail". The part of the mushroom which is consumed most often peels away from the underside "ribs" of the mushroom and is referred to as the "eave" or "eve" of the mushroom and is the most hallucinogenic part, now imagine "Eve" the woman or "enlightened one" coming from the "rib" of adam. The lyrics "Dont look into the sun"... Is this referring to the fact that we were told never to eat from the fruit of the tree of knowledge? OK I do think I am taking this interpretation too far, but this is a very symbolic mushroom in history and religion in many parts of the world. I dont want to sound like a parrot or mr know it all but it is a very good topic to write a song about.
