Small Poppies Lyrics
I stare at the lawn. It's Wednesday morning.
It needs a cut. But I'll leave it growing.
All different sizes and all shades of green.
Slashing it down just seems kind of mean....
In a way it's a shame you get away
Thinking it's just a game.
Who am I to deny myself
A pawn for you to use?
At the end of the day it's a pain
That I keep seeing your name,
But I'm sure it's a bore being you.
I don't know quite who I am oh but man am I trying.
I make mistakes until I get it right.
An eye for an eye for an eye for an eye for an eye
I don't agree with that, why can't we just talk nice?
Oh! The calamity, I wanna go to sleep for an eternity.
Who am I to deny myself a pawn?
Oh! The humanity, I wanna disappear into obscurity.
But I'm sure it's a bore being you.
I don't know quite who I am oh but man am I trying.
I make mistakes until I get it right.
An eye for an eye for an eye for an eye for an eye
I used to hate myself but now I think I'm alright.
I don't know quite who I am oh but man am I trying.
I make mistakes until I get it right.
An eye for an eye for an eye for an eye for an eye
I dreamed I stabbed you with a coat hanger wire.
It needs a cut. But I'll leave it growing.
All different sizes and all shades of green.
Slashing it down just seems kind of mean....
Thinking it's just a game.
Who am I to deny myself
A pawn for you to use?
That I keep seeing your name,
But I'm sure it's a bore being you.
I make mistakes until I get it right.
An eye for an eye for an eye for an eye for an eye
I don't agree with that, why can't we just talk nice?
Who am I to deny myself a pawn?
Oh! The humanity, I wanna disappear into obscurity.
But I'm sure it's a bore being you.
I make mistakes until I get it right.
An eye for an eye for an eye for an eye for an eye
I used to hate myself but now I think I'm alright.
I make mistakes until I get it right.
An eye for an eye for an eye for an eye for an eye
I dreamed I stabbed you with a coat hanger wire.

This is my first time listening to this song but lemme take a quick stab at it.
From what I gathered, it seems like the song is about her not being 100% content / excited for who she is. Sometimes she wishes she was someone else but shortly realizes that's probably not as fun, interesting, or simply the way she's not supposed to feel. You're only as fun and interesting as you want to be.
