Flowers On A Grave Lyrics
Another renegade
Stick around gettin' made
Gotta be plenty brave
To speak up
Blame it on the planets, man
Try to do what you can
Stay on the suicide
Everyone all the time
The mind is a playground
And what goes up
The sadness is the emptiness
We're shadows in the rain
She covered me in loneliness
Like flowers on a grave
Like flowers on a grave
Salt state of mind
It's like a Valentine
Rope around and make you mine
And I'm in a noose
The animals are on the move
Tell me what you're gonna do
I can see you comin' through
Everyone all the time
The mind is a playground
And what goes up
The sadness is the emptiness
We're shadows in the rain
She covered me in loneliness
Like flowers on a grave
Like flowers on a grave
(Flowers, flowers, flowers, flowers
Flowers, flowers) like flowers on a grave
(Flowers, flowers, flowers, flowers
Flowers) flowers
I feel you in me
Although you're gone completely
I'm still alive
I am all night
The sadness is the emptiness
We're shadows in the rain
She covered me in loneliness
Like flowers on a grave
Like flowers on a grave
(Flowers, flowers, flowers, flowers
Flowers, flowers) like flowers on a grave
(Flowers, flowers, flowers, flowers
Flowers) like flowers on a grave
Stick around gettin' made
Gotta be plenty brave
To speak up
Blame it on the planets, man
Try to do what you can
Stay on the suicide
Everyone all the time
And what goes up
We're shadows in the rain
She covered me in loneliness
Like flowers on a grave
Like flowers on a grave
It's like a Valentine
Rope around and make you mine
And I'm in a noose
The animals are on the move
Tell me what you're gonna do
I can see you comin' through
Everyone all the time
And what goes up
We're shadows in the rain
She covered me in loneliness
Like flowers on a grave
Like flowers on a grave
Flowers, flowers) like flowers on a grave
(Flowers, flowers, flowers, flowers
Flowers) flowers
Although you're gone completely
I'm still alive
I am all night
We're shadows in the rain
She covered me in loneliness
Like flowers on a grave
Like flowers on a grave
Flowers, flowers) like flowers on a grave
(Flowers, flowers, flowers, flowers
Flowers) like flowers on a grave

I think this is about how the mind can go astray & everywhere when one is alone for too long. It's that emptiness that collides with madness when the brain can no longer correlate it's contents enough to make sense of it all anymore.
I really think this song is written thinking of his ex wife Gwen who left him, at any case it is about loosing a loved one. "You covered me in emptiness like flowers on a grave" I feel like these lyrics mean he still sees beauty in her although she now hurts him by her absence. Also "I feel you in me Although you're gone completely" Makes me think he has no contact at all anymore with her but thinks of her.
There is also a huge theme of death and suicide in the song. Loosing love is like a death and its very hard. Loosing love is always a huge tragedy especially when it could have been avoided although sometimes it is for the better. We all know the torture loosing love can be. If that is indeed what the song is about i hope gavin will find again the peace and kingdom he sings about. It is indeed a beautiful song and the proof there is still so much beauty gavin can make and be despite this loss he sings about. I really relate, loosing love is the worst suffering, and im sure like he says it takes a lot of bravery to sing about it and get through it
