Valentine Lyrics

Cover art for Valentine lyrics by Fiona Apple

A tulip signifies a perfect love.

You plant your roots with a person for a relationship to grow. “I stared at you and cut myself” may represent that she cut herself from the garden that may have been them, as she is now merely a flower in a cup of water – rootless, alone, and will eventually wilt.

My Interpretation

@PixyStrdust, you don't have to dig that deep to understand. I'd bet at the moment she wrote it she was thinking "I'm bleeding for you and you're looking at her." Pretty simple explanation of unrequited love.

@stinajayon Guess that's why I posted it as my interpretation, amirite?
