Cover art for Wildflower lyrics by Smashing Pumpkins, The

the synth sound is very classic, like it kind of maks me think of Beethoven, in a way.

from personal experience (and this is probably just me, and i just wanted to spill this, and get it off my chest) i had a girlfriend for just about 6 months. she constantly titled herself a "Flower" in her poetry, and other stuff. how she would sprout in the winter, and bloom in the spring. I broke up with my Flower because, at the time, i was depressed, and narcoleptic. and if i did anything to myself, i didn't want it to affect her. i guess. that's just an excuse. everything's an excuse. our relationship was at a standstill. it always was. that's ok, she didn't want to go too far too fast, and that's ok. this song means alot to me. she's a free Wildflower that isn't held down by this mess of a person. i'm better now, thanks to my medication, but i was this close to shooting myself in the goddamn face ;D and this song will always remind me of her. without me dragging her down, she can be free. a Wildflower, in the wilderness outside.
