shadesofblue 15,194 Posted October 10, 2023 On 9/26/2023 at 10:03 PM, shadesofblue said: Born To Die - red roses Spoiler (lots of red rose symbolism/imagery through BTD as well as many other albums but it’s an iconic symbol of passion, desire, love, beauty, victory ) Paradise - bird of paradise Spoiler (paradise also symbolizes freedom, joy and anticipation like ride and american for example) Ultraviolence - blue hydrangeas Spoiler (hydrangeas can symbolize vanity and abundance this could explain the descriptions of opulence in the song old money) honorable mentions - Spoiler deadly nightshades (ultraviolence) - witch hazel (is this happiness) - poison ivy (ultraviolence) poison ivy and deadly nightshades representing poison from the cult implications of UV. witch hazel is a symbol for warding off evil Honeymoon - rose garden mix of different pink roses Spoiler such as the china rose and shrub rose (burnt norton interlude also pink and roses represent love) peonies also in the garden Spoiler (peonies symbolize love, romance, and marriage) Lust for Life - daisies Spoiler (lots of references to the 60s/70s in the album and known at the time as a symbol for peace such as when the world was at war we kept dancing. coachella references having flowers in your hair most commonly daisies but also references roses) Norman Fucking Rockwell - clover Spoiler (venice bitch); specifically owl's clover (native to california and the coast; clover symbolizes luck and hope such as hope is a dangerous thing for a woman…) california poppies Spoiler ( california state flower and symbolizes dreams, relaxation, peace very california-esque ) Chemtrails Over The Country Club - butterfly milkweed Spoiler (native to arkansas and symbolize connection to nature and spirituality which is mentioned in tracks like tulsa jesus freak) honorable mention- Spoiler buttercups (represent youth, happiness, friendship example- her song features with nikki lane, zella, and weyes ) Blue Banisters - wildflowers Spoiler (wildflower wildflower; since there's a ton of flower references in blue banister i see it as collection of her old and new songs on BB similar to a collection of assorted flowers.) violets (violets for roses; symbolism for spirituality, modesty, wisdom, everlasting love), gardenias (blue banisters; symbolism includes purity trust, and gentleness- possibly qualities she seeks in relationships), cherry blossoms (cherry blossom; symbolism for renewal and optimism; could be in reference to her wanting to have children possibly? or just the idea of rebirth ) DYKTATUOB - black dahlias Spoiler (she dressed as the black dahlia in candy necklaces music video & black dahlias symbolize betrayal and sadness which is definitely relevant to multiple songs like A&W, fingertips, kintsugi, etc talking about a lover who wronged her, dealing with loss, struggling with depression and grief) Thought this post would be more appropriate here but these are the flowers i associate with each album! 2 Quote ♡︎ Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
