Maria Taylor – Orchids Lyrics 16 years ago
Also, the beginning of the song shows she is not upset about the change, she understands. "I won' break in two" She is saying take the change, maybe while studying "orchid blues" she's found a lot of similarities and she finds it comforting/helps her cope. "And some can't live unless they feed on fallen leaves" Maybe she is sayin some people can't live without a shoulder to lean on, and maybe she depends on the comfort from this person.

This song is absolutely beautiful. I feel like she's talking about an ending relationship, whether it be friendship or a closer relation to this person. It sounds as though she may be comparing them to "orchid blues" so-to-speak, someone is changing, maybe as in bloomig, becoming a completely new person.. Maybe someone she doesn't recognize anymore "I've heard your words rearrange," but she's hoping that atleast she could teach them to love unconditionally "love with all your heart" and to "lie open wide" as in lay it all on the line, hold nothing back, "with imperfect symmetry" - as in it's okay to have differences, just be yourself. "You'll love like you" and "I will love like me."
I feel the last few lines relate to herself, "to be reborn, they have to go to sea" maybe she is being reborn and changing herself, for the better. "And so, angel, you will have to set me free" - she needs to be set free, she needs to do this on her own. A new start from this.
