Overall about difficult moments of disappointment and vulnerability. Having hope and longing, while remaining optimistic for the future. Encourages the belief that with each new morning there is a chance for things to improve.
The chorus offers a glimmer of optimism and a chance at a resolution and redemption in the future.
Captures the rollercoaster of emotions of feeling lost while loving someone who is not there for you, feeling let down and abandoned while waiting for a lover. Lost with no direction, "Now I'm up in the air with the rain in my hair, Nowhere to go, I can go anywhere"
The bridge shows signs of longing and a plea for companionship. The Lyrics express a desire for authentic connection and the importance of Loving someone just as they are. "Just in passing, I'm not asking. That you be anyone but you”
There's a place I'd like to find, somewhere in the center of my mind
Where sweet euphoric flowers grow, in every color of the rainbow
As you close your eyes and float away, you can hear the demon gardeners say:
Hellflower -- Satan's power, you grow more beautiful by the hour
You feed our hearts and you free our minds, with the essence of the souls that you devour...
Shrinking violet makes the scene in the formal garden of the queen
Bloody Mary, so contrary, how do your flowers smell?
Like pederastic priests and hypocrites, burning in the pits of Hell!
You are the butterfly, I am the honey-bee
You stop to smell the roses then you drown in the poison of my sting
You fight to keep your sanity, then you fall into a deep narcotic sleep
You slip into a dream without a care
You can see Hellflowers everywhere
The scent of evil fills the air...
You can taste the magic if you dare…
Daisies and daffodils, valium and placidyls
Marigolds and violets, dilaudid and percocets
Everything beautiful contains some evil...
Flowers always smell sweeter through a needle
Hellflower -- Satan's power, you grow more beautiful by the hour
You feed our hearts and you free our minds, with the essence of the souls that you devour...
"Hi! I am Princess Samantha! And I am surrounded by a
Sea of flowers! There are daises and daffodils, and
Dandelions! But my favorites are the poppies! They are so pretty!
And they make me so happy! And so tired... I'm so sleepy,
And tired. And my eyes, they feel so heavy! I LOVE poppies!"
"Would you like one of my flowers?"
You slip into a dream without a care
You can see Hellflowers everywhere
The scent of evil fills the air...
You can taste the magic if you dare..
Morning Glory tells the story of Hellflowers throughout history
Growing like weeds in the Garden of Eden,
Where the master spoke to Eve
Judas tiptoed through the tulips with a kiss that would live in infamy
Then they dragged your savior through the mud..
In the flowerbeds of Gethsemane
Where sweet euphoric flowers grew
In every size and shape and hue
And as the centurions dragged him past
He heard the demon gardeners laugh:
Hellflower -- Satan's power, you grow more beautiful by the hour
If I could I would destroy this world, and build something beautiful
That we could call ours...
Hellflower -- Satan's power, you grow more beautiful by the hour
You feed our hearts and you free our minds, with the essence of the souls that you devour...
Where sweet euphoric flowers grow, in every color of the rainbow

@[Diderik:33655] "Your a holiday!" Was a popular term used in the 50s/60s to compliment someone on their all around. For example, not only are they beautiful, but they are fun and kind too ... just an all around "holiday".
I think your first comment is closer to being accurate. The singer/song writers state "Millions of eyes can see, yet why am i so blind!? When the someone else is me, its unkind its unkind". I believe hes referring to the girl toying with him and using him. He wants something deeper with her, thats why he allows himself to be as a puppet (even though for her fun and games) as long as it makes her happy. But he knows deep down that she doesnt really want to be serious with him and thats what makes him.

I think much like another song “Anti-Matter” (that's also on the same album as this song), this one is also is inspired by a horrifying van crash the band experienced on Nov 3, 2022. This, much like the other track, sounds like it's an extension what they shared while huddled in the wreckage, as they helped frontman Garrett Russell stem the bleeding from his head wound while he was under the temporary effects of a concussion. The track speaks of where the mind goes at the most desperate & desolate of times, when it just about slips away to all but disconnect itself, and the aftermath.

This is a sequel to 2001's "Reckless Abandon", and features the band looking back on their clumsy youth fondly.

“Blue” is a song about a love that is persisting in the discomfort of the person experiencing the emotion. Ed Sheeran reflects on love lost, and although he wishes his former partner find happiness, he cannot but admit his feelings are still very much there. He expresses the realization that he might never find another on this stringed instrumental by Aaron Dessner.
