Mother Mother // Oleander (LYRICS)

----
Lyrics
~~~~~~~
You stood beside me when I was out of my mind
I broke the glass, and you were there to sweep it aside
And if you leave me, rest assured it would kill me
I make a mess and you'll be there to help me undress
I'll be unclean, I'll be obscene, you'll be the rest
And if you leave me, rest assured it would kill me
Like an oleander
White, white leaves of an oleander
White like me
I'm like a child in a sty
I play with vile
I burn you right out, I burned your bible
You tried to cry, put on a smile
And if you leave me rest assured it would kill me
Rest assured if you leave
Like an oleander
White, white leaves of an oleander
White like me
Of the oleander
White, white leaves of an oleander
White like me

Also a fun fact: every part of the oleander is toxic. A single leaf can kill an adult.

[@venovski5031]

i remember eating an oleander flowers petal when i was little. i cried and thought i was gonna die :-D it wasnt a poisonous kind ig

[@Neveronline2024]

@@venovski5031 it probably wasn’t an Orleander. Could be a daisy or any non toxic white flower

Oleander is a common house plant where I live. It is, indeed slightly toxic, but it's not going to kill you

[@crow2616]

Fun fact: In the language of flowers Oleander means "caution" or "destiny".

[@kally6956]

yesss i love hp!

[@speedwagon_69]

Another funfact: Oleander is a really beautiful flower but extremely poisonous, even the smoke came out from burning oleander could kill you

Honestly one of their best songs they've ever made . Nice work ! I think it would be nice if the background moved, like instead of a picture of the flowers, you could have the flowers blowing in the wind or smth :)

The fact that this sort of reminds me of a friendship I'm in. In this scenario; I'd be the person that if they were to leave them; they'd be dead. My friend is really destructive, though clingy (also, I'm person who owns several Bibles and has some weird music taste for being as devout as i am-)

[@starboy3860]

God this song is good but the lyrics trigger shit cuz this sounds like a relationship I was in where she was abusive and wanted me to pick up all the pieces and would threaten to end her life subscription if I left her.

[@ValentinesGrimoire]

Ill pick one and go through the pain for the beauty, after all, beauty is pain.

[@doomertunes1092]

Someone should make a music video with clips of Griffith from the 1997 anime, and thus song in the background. There a little too many similarities in this song and Griffith's story in Berserk. Or maybe this song could also work for Guts in the manga. Either way, this song gives off massive Berserk vibes.

[@YesYamYesYam]

I don't see anyone saying it so i will, you put vile in dec instead of fire. I hope i don't sound rude lol. People usually attack the comment's when i try to correct something 😂.
