Blume Songtext

von Einstürzende Neubauten

Chrysantemum
For you I am a chrysantemum
Supernova, urgent star

Astera Compositae
For you I'll be a dandelion
A thousand flowerettes in the sky
Or just a drop in the ocean

If you know my name
Don't speak it out
It holds a power - as before

Liliacea
A lily of the valley
A flower of saron

Helianthus annus
For you I even be a sunflower
Do you hear my enlightening laughter?
Another reason to cut off an ear

You know my name, do you not?
Don't say it
For it's a sacred, immovable - frozen

Rosa, Anemone et Nymphea alba
I'll even be a waterlily,
A marygold, a rose
Or a little thistle

Euphorbia
A blue dahlia, a black tulip
That's where opinions differ
The scholars disagree

My name, should you know it
Remains unspeakable
And it's spoken - malediction
