  • Another renegade
    Stick around gettin' made
    Gotta be plenty brave
    To speak up
    Blame it on the planets, man
    Try to do what you can
    Steady on the suicide
    Everyone all the time

    The mind is a playground
    And what goes up

    The sadness is the emptiness
    We're shadows in the rain
    She covered me in loneliness
    Like flowers on a grave
    Like flowers on a grave

    Salt state of mind
    It's like a Valentine
    Rope around and make you mine
    And I'm in a noose
    The animals are on the move
    Tell me what you're gonna do
    I can see you comin' through
    Everyone all the time

    The mind is a playground
    And what goes up

    The sadness is the emptiness
    We're shadows in the rain
    She covered me in loneliness
    Like flowers on a grave
    Like flowers on a grave

    (Flowers, flowers, flowers, flowers)
    (Flowers, flowers) like flowers on a grave
    (Flowers, flowers, flowers, flowers, flowers)
    Flowers

    I feel you in me
    Although you're gone completely
    I'm still alive
    I am all night

    The sadness is the emptiness
    We're shadows in the rain
    She covered me in loneliness
    Like flowers on a grave
    Like flowers on a grave

    (Flowers, flowers, flowers, flowers)
    (Flowers, flowers) like flowers on a grave
    (Flowers, flowers, flowers, flowers, flowers)
    Like flowers on a grave Writer/s: Gavin Rossdale

  • Dutch from Iowa, UsaGavin is a brilliant song writer and has a way of spinning some of the worst situations into a positive light. I think this song is dealing with the loss of love and even though it hurts and the pain is real it’s not the end of us. He specific states that suicide isn’t the answer. (Easy on the suicide) The loss of love is profound and can leave us broken an empty. (The sadness is the emptiness) we feel with loss. The Memories of that love are the shadows in the rain, the loss shrouds is, covers us in loneliness and can make us feel like death (flowers on a grave). If it’s real love, deep, and emotional love, you always feel that connection no matter how much time passes. Yet, even though they are gone completely we have to find the will be alive and will be alright. (I feel you in me, although you’re gone completely, I’m still alive, I’m alright)
