Flood of Tears Lyrics
Mother see, that all my life
I planted flowers to survive
And as they faded I stopped to speak
I painted flowers
and nobody knows why.....
No awakening, no lullaby
I only felt the need to try
To have the guts or the stupidity
To grab for stars, that I can't reach at all
Father see, that I have tried
To find that angel deep inside
That you once promised I would meet
And once again I ended in defeat
Even here I could feel your eyes
Heard your whispers and felt your eyes
Brother said Come back to life
I asked some friends
and nobody knew why .....
Nobody had ever seen
my flood of tears
I can't believe you found me here
It took some time to find these words
I wrote them down in hope that they might help
Watch me walk barefoot on glass
Insecure as only a newborn child can be
Others came to laugh at me
They pointed fingers as I could see
Believe me saying it's not the skin
It's the stranger living deep inside
Mother see, that all my life
I painted flowers to survive
And as they faded I stopped to paint
I fell asleep
and nobody knows why.....
Father see, that I have tried
To build a world with only me inside
Millions of flowers surround my bed
Now I still grab for stars and I can reach them all
I planted flowers to survive
And as they faded I stopped to speak
I painted flowers
and nobody knows why.....
I only felt the need to try
To have the guts or the stupidity
To grab for stars, that I can't reach at all
To find that angel deep inside
That you once promised I would meet
And once again I ended in defeat
Heard your whispers and felt your eyes
Brother said Come back to life
I asked some friends
and nobody knew why .....
my flood of tears
I can't believe you found me here
I wrote them down in hope that they might help
Watch me walk barefoot on glass
Insecure as only a newborn child can be
They pointed fingers as I could see
Believe me saying it's not the skin
It's the stranger living deep inside
I painted flowers to survive
And as they faded I stopped to paint
I fell asleep
and nobody knows why.....
To build a world with only me inside
Millions of flowers surround my bed
Now I still grab for stars and I can reach them all

I believe that this song is all about using hope and changind the world around you just to get through life, false hope ends in tragedy. then as he stops creating the pseudo world surrounding him, he finally realizes that he can suceed and make it through life. its much more complicated, but i tried my best to explain.
I don't have any ideas for what this song means, but it's comforting.
I think it's about a young boy that died, hence the verse "To grab for stars, that I can't reach at all" and ends with "Now I still grab for stars and I can reach them all"
If you're dead I dont think you can "grab" anything.
