Post Malone – Sunflower Lyrics 6 years ago
I meant to say, "something common has become something much more, something beautiful."

Post Malone – Sunflower Lyrics 6 years ago
All of the interpretations here are either wrong or lack clarity.

The chorus is the guys lying to themselves, telling themselves the girl is just a sunflower.

But she's a special kind of sunflower.

Sunflowers, while common (the verses contradict the idea that she's common), are also resilient.

Also, they're calling each of their girls a "sunflower" trying to get the girls to leave them, but by this time "sunflower" has a new meaning, something common has become something much more:

"I think your love would be too much"

"Fightin' for my trust and you won't back down
Even if we gotta risk it all right now"

I understand the 1901 reference, but why 1855???
