Long Forgotten Flowers

In 'Long Forgotten Flowers,' Pajaro Sunrise crafts a poignant narrative about the importance of embracing reality and letting go of past grievances. The song opens with a call to 'stand tall' and 'wait for the real thing,' suggesting a need for patience and authenticity in a world that often feels absurd. The imagery of feeding oneself with a 'silver spoon you used to detest' highlights the irony and complexity of personal growth, where what was once rejected becomes a tool for survival and success.

The lyrics also caution against rushing towards superficial achievements, as seen in the line 'Hold your horses Cinderella, don't rush for the crown.' This metaphorical advice encourages the listener to focus on inner fulfillment rather than external validation. The song acknowledges the pain of past losses but advises to 'forget it now,' emphasizing the importance of mental autonomy and the power of the present moment. The mention of 'the sweetest days often go to waste from the very morning' serves as a reminder to cherish each day and not let it slip away unnoticed.

The chorus urges the listener to 'stop naming the hours after long forgotten flowers,' a metaphor for clinging to past memories or regrets that no longer serve a purpose. Instead, it advocates for keeping one's 'eyes wide open to everything,' embracing the full spectrum of human experience, including 'sins, visions, and love.' The song concludes with a powerful declaration of resilience: 'we don't surrender any more.' This final sentiment encapsulates the song's overarching message of moving forward with strength and an open heart, ready to face whatever comes next.
