Lithium Flower Lyrics

Cover art for Lithium Flower lyrics by Yoko Kanno

Surfing is a highly intuitive sport, more art/emotion than science/logic. The man in the song expects that this would be unbelievably hard for a cold, rigid and robotic person to be good at let alone master, and yet she does. The man is thoroughly impressed by this, not only because her machine like qualities didn't get in her way, they also made her better at it "You know I've never seen the girl wipe out" "How does she so perfectly surf?" The symbolism behind a lithium flower is quite elegant since lithium is associated with high tech and batteries and yet a flower is something organic and represents blossoming life. A perfect description of this cold yet very soulful and human woman that clearly moved him.
