Keep Your Head Up Lyrics

Cover art for Keep Your Head Up lyrics by Ben Howard

I think it's about a failed relationship with a beautiful girl that ended up having a dark side (the end-"eyes like wildflowers within demons of change"). This opened his eyes to see all the important things in his life that he's been putting on the back burner (himself, friendships) when all the while he was engrossed in this tragic relationship. It seems learning to know himself and friendships are what ultimately helped him through it.

I think you're right.
