Chrysanthemum is about the disappearances/murders of Ashley Pond and Miranda Gaddis from the Portland, Oregon area in 2002. The two girls were close in age to Art's daughter (they were 13 and 14, and his daughter was 10). The two girls lived about 20 miles away from where Art lives. He's said in interviews that the song is him putting himself in the shoes
