Cover art for Blue Flower/Blue Flame lyrics by Destroyer

First he mentions 'sky' as something old like wine, yet lustrious and able to spill your guts with, but everything looks like wine [everywhere i turn there] Finally a new face, some girl stuck in a place he can pull her out of, like maybe he's been in her position before and wants to reach out to those [fresh hands to attend to]

"Although you're similar[Blue fl. /blue fl.], no one will compare to thee."

(see recurring theme of similar doubles) [don't know why, don't know when]=it just happened one day This actually reminds me of a picture I took http://www.flickr.com/photos/blublub/4000427974/sizes/l/in/photostream/ there it is. It's a metaphor for two things married, tired of the same old-same old.[a cathedral sick of the sky again, says to it: Please not now, will you just look at the time] = 'I'm tired of you" So true because his feelings are this: even his wife so perfect and endlessly adoring as the sky can become tiring in time, especially when it stops>> [it's standing still! Somewhere applause falls dead on the hillside.]

He wants to tell his wife that it's her he truly wants, but he holds back, like she doesn't seem to care & won't listen. So he will give her another day.

She still doesn't seem to listen to him. [I'll tell you what I mean by that] "If you don't ask about me you'll never understand me!" So in sudden rage he gives up

[gray ashen sadness] like the end of a flame :[ [rises like the sun ,oh well] expected like the sunrise. He doesn't remourse much, thinking it was time he tried a new affair. [Tulip has an inner animal, shes' in it for a good time] So fun and easy to be with. [on the outs for awhile but now things are alright] "She helped me through" [gave you a flower because foxes travel light] He knows his wife so well, actually tells her about his affair with a flower, quite fearlessly, thinking she doesn't care. [a penny for your thoughts was never enough] Of course, she did care [Your head gets filled with that stuff....] but did not talk about it, because she was so stuck on pretty poetries and idealistic beauties in her mind~ Getting so caught up with their relationships fanciful chemistry she had stopped time. Going into her own endless dreaming. Wishing she had spoken up when she had the chance to tell him "I know and I'm made at you for seeing her, I love you"

(Guessing that the original Woman is the flame(that destroys him) Tulip is the flower(that he has the ability to destroy)
