I see this song as being about acceptance. The two key lines are the title, with it's lead in: "I'll pretend that flowers never bend with the rainfall". Also "And I must be what I must be."
So, it is a pretence to think that flowers do not bend with the rainfall. And a pretence to think that life does not change us. We bend to life's rainfall, or we break.
The write is confused about what is real and not, what is right and not, even what is important or not. But he accepts the confusion as part of the human condition and will move forward in that confusion, knowing that the confusion is a part of him too.
My first post - please be gentle with me :)
