Roses/Lotus/Violet/Iris (Lyrics)
I have seen your body
And I have seen your beauty
They are separate things
Pretty pretty things
But I am in a garden
Tending to my own
So what do I care
And what do you care if I grow?
Roses Roses Roses
Show no concern for colors of a Violet
Lotus Lotus Lotus
Hopes it won’t spark envy in your Irises
Think of all the wilted women
Who crane their necks to reach a window
Ripping all their petals off just cause
“He loves me now he loves me not”
I myself was a wilted woman
Drowsy in a dark room.
Forgot my roots.
Now watch me bloom.
Roses Roses Roses
Show no concern for colors of a Violet
Lotus Lotus Lotus
Hopes it won’t spark envy in your Irises
I will not compare other beauty to mine
I will not become a thorn in my own side
I will not return to where I once was
I can break through the earth, come up soft and wild.
Roses Roses Roses
Show no concern for colors of a Violet
Lotus Lotus Lotus
Hopes it won’t spark envy in your Irises

This ENTIRE album’s bassline is in another league...
Gustavo Correia Joey?
Omg I agree with you - the live version on the couch was immense
JOEY SLAPPIN THAT BASS
Joey goes way to hard
yesss omg
"The lotus flower is one of the most remarkable creations in nature. Its beauty lies in its purity, because this magnificent and rare flower emerges from the bottom of a pond, yet rises above its muddy depths to become a thing of beauty, signifying spiritual elevation and growth."
It means so much to me. I relate to that flower the most
What does that even mean
@@squidy7771 so lotus flowers grow in very dirty and muddy harsh conditions. They sometimes have to leave by floating off down a stream or in the wind, and will find a new home. Its symbolic of healing from trauma.
@@missrobinson1212 oh alright. thx
Livia Prata my favorite flower and my next tattoo
Quarantine: *Brings anxiety and depression to everyone*
Hayley Williams: "ARE YOU SURE ABOUT THAT"
She's been bringing anxiety and depression long before Convid-19
Everyone: "YES WE ARE AND YOU CAN'T CHANGE IT"
@Sabhyata Singh In the US Civil and Divorce courts are closed. Not everyone is making enough money to stay afloat. Some kids aren't adapting to online only classes. Having your freedom restricted for any reason is unfortunate. Etc.
It's good you live on the moon
@Sabhyata Singh Not everybody feels the same way. It's all fine for you, but there's a lot of people loosing their jobs, spending more time with abusive parents and an amount of forgotten ones without access to clean water here in Brazil.
Sabhyata Singh people are kinda dying, like everywhere? No one knows when it’s going to end and some people are either feeling completely isolated and grieving for loss of loved ones and people are losing their jobs. Just because your mental healthy and physical health is stable doesn’t mean everyone else’s is too
Omg Hayley, Lucy, Phoebe, AND Julien on the same track? Unreal.
I paused the video because I thought she looked like Lucy Dacus! It really was her, there wasn't any reference in the description.
Thats what i said i was like OMG IS THAT JULIEN BAKER..AND I WAS CORRECT YAYYYYYY
I love how I had no idea who they were when this song dropped but then over quarantine I started listening to Phoebe's stuff because punisher is a masterpiece, then the boygenius ep which was so good I had to buy it on vinyl
Now, except for Hayley, they are Boygenius.
I am so so glad to see this side of hayley, she is literally physically incapable of producing a bad song
Zoha Kurd I beg your pardon but decode has to be their worst song ever, god idk how you people listen to that. It's so foul and unmusically appeasing I can't believe people listen to that beauty of a song.
Troy this quarantine is obviously making you go insane
@@sparklingion art is cant be good or bad. its just your personal opinion
Troy i was about to go off on you dude whew
Celia DellaMea guess you didn't read my full comment.
Hayley Williams is the cure for anxiety during the quarantine..
Keep your my health, read, pray, making exercises...
the cure is being self sufficient and learning to live with yourself
@@cannonball2264 sometimes people take things very seriously. and that's very scary..
Stfu
Let's support someone that sold out good job👍
This song is like a magic spell for self love cast by a sad millenial. I'm here for it
Living for this comment lol!
i'm forever believing that Hayley is the greatest witch of our time.
I feel like I'm always growing up with Hayley. Went through the emo and tomboy thing. Still pretty tomboy but I have learned to appreciate my feminine side. What she is creating now is also more in style with what I listen to these days. I will always be a Paramore fan but this is Hayley and she's on a new chapter. Plus I like this song just a bit more because I'm a florist and this songs got a bunch of flowers in it lol.
Imagine 10 years from now someone will be watching this and be confused on why comments are about hayley saving us whilst being on quarantine
It'll be in the history books by then😂😂
According to Sylvia brown who predicted this in her end of days book, it’ll be happening in 10 years again anyway. 😮😮😮
WHO’S WATCHING IN 2030 GUYS???!!!!????
You think youtube will exist in 10 years? Idk
I’m just imagining our future grandchildren stumbling on a whole years worth of CZcams videos that start with “in these troubling times” and them wondering what was happening
Anyone else exceptionally impressed with the direction she has took this project. Songs are so interesting and intricate. Brilliant songwriting.
the themes running through that tie everything to "petals for armor" are strong too, I feel.
my top 3 (so far):
1. Sudden desire
2. Roses/lotus/violet/iris
3. Simmer
oh but leave it alone is the saddest saddest song of all. its SO GOOD
I'm agreed with youu, for me creepin' is a beautiful song too!
Sudden desire deserved better
@@aubrienader6049 leave it alone is the perfect soundtrack for these "covid days"
nice! mine is 1. creepin’ 2. roses/lotus/violet/iris 3. sudden desire
BOYGENIUS DID HER BACKING VOCALS?!?!???!?!!?!?!
Right?
Last time I watched this video (when it came out), I didn't know about Boygenius. So watching it again now sure was a trip, haha
"And what do I care, and what do you care if I grow?"
This was sooo beautiful, i teared up."Picking off the petals for he loves me, he loves me not." & "I won't be a thorn in my own side" "Tending to my own garden" I love thissssss Hayley Thank you!!!!!! fan since I was 11 and I'm 22 now thank you for expressing your growth. It resonates with my own! So much love to you! Thank you!
E. A. Dude same! But I was 13 and now I’m 25 .-.
@@pattomore I was 17 and I'm soon to be 3-0 .-.
so cool seeing hayley with boygenius
all i hear is this song. this song tells me so much, that it makes me feel so many powerful things. made me draw again after months. connected me with a strong feeling that I have about me, wonderful feelings, gratitude. I just have to say thank u, thank u.
Its so romantic that Taylor produced this beautiful album for her. ❤
This song is my favorite from Petals for Armour so far. The lyrics sound like it could poetry and it basically is. saying that body and beauty are different things, that you will not compare someone elses beauty and envy someones beauty and find your own beauty in your own flower and petals is such a beautiful message. Thank you Hayley.
all lyrics are poetry. every word in every song is a form of poetry. i'm not being dramatic, it's literally all poetry
Hayley is really blooming 😫🥀
To anyone who's wondering, she's singing "lotus" in reverse on the first part of the song
I reversed it cause I was curious lol
Lol I though she said "sad walk"
I love the backing vocal peopleflowers----- I see Julien Baker!
Have you heard any of boygenius's stuff? It's worth a listen if you're a fan but also check out lucy dacus and pheobe bridgers stuff. They both released awesome records last year.
@@chooseitwisely98 I'm familiarizing myself now with Lucy and Phoebe.
julien is so tiny her and hayley are my absolute dreammmm i love them
I've just realised from listening a couple of years later, how this song helped me through both lockdown and grieving for my mum in the summer of 2020. I thought I simply loved the song, but it was actually healing me.
watching taylor work at 1:10 filled me emotionally
A beautiful song of self growth and self love. You’re killing it, Hayley. I’m so glad you’re healing and growing through this time, and giving us amazing music to help us to grow and heal too. You’ve always done that for me, since I found Paramore in 6th grade, 2008.
Also, I don’t know if I can pick a top 3. I love everything you’ve released so far. But the 3 I listen to the most frequently are:
1.) Cinnamon
2.) Leave it Alone
3.) Simmer
Same!! 6th grade me is like WOW!!! LOVE IT
I LOVE SEEING "T" around. He always dissappears ❤️❤️❤️
I really cry so hard with this one 😭, the making of , Hayley Taylor everyone involved in this proyect just makes me feel a lot of emotions, Hayley we love you so much😭🥰
Tay producing, Joey i'm bass, boygenious helping and Hayley writing these magical lyrics. This is still my fave of her solo stuff. Just elevated.
The women support women song that we need ❤️
My top 3 so far:
1-Cinnamon
2-Roses/Lotus/Violet/Irises
3-Sudden Desire
me too!
I'm digging "simmer" a lot
How bout simmer? Is it another album?
For me it’s Cinnamon, Sudden Desire, and then Roses/Lotus/Violet/Irises. And to answer the question, Simmer is still from Petals for Armor it’s just not on this person’s top 3.
@@kidoktv6241 I liked simmer a lot but it's not in my top three
Three years later they both won 2024 Grammys.
Boygenius- Best Rock Performance
Paramore - Best Rock Album and Best Alternative Music Performance
Top 3 so far:
1. Sudden Desire
2. Simmer
3. I prefer the lyrics from Roses/Lotus/Violet/Iris but I prefer the music of Creepin'
SleepyKitty ASMR exactly me tooo
I prefere Cinnamon tu simmer
@@user-cu6zg2cu3u ugh Cinnamon and that choreography... now you are making me doubt.
@@CarolASMR yeah, when the music kicks in at the dance part.. pure art
@@user-cu6zg2cu3u i asked her on IG live if she would do the choreo on tour and she said probably not 😭
"Roses Roses Roses
Show no concern for colors of a Violet"
this
I swear I was singing this song minutes after it was released last week
Hayley out here slaying our boredom during quarantine
my heart actually skipped a beat when i saw boygenius omg this makes me ridiculously happy
There’s a lot more vocal singing in this one, and I’m happy to see it
hayley's genuine smile is something else
Love how Hayley is keeping us entertained and not bored during quarantine. Love you queen.
Thank you for giving us something to make this isolation less painful
Don´t you ever forget that ARGENTINA LOVES YOU ♥ thanks for making this quarantine easier
The views in this show that quality doesn't equal commercial success and I'm more than okay with that. Just gotta say thank you to Hayley for releasing the best album I heard this year
Today is day 2 of quarantine (37 more days to go, doctors orders since I’m high risk) I needed this so much!!! ❤️❤️ thank you! 🌹🌹🌹
Heather Blankenship I’m in v careful self isolation too! We’ll get thru together, listening to all the baller tunes Hayley is rolling out
day 11 for us in france
love to you all
Truly beautiful lyrics!!!!! This beautiful masterpiece reminds me of watching my daughter go through domestic abuse unparalleled by any other story I have heard, and then watching her heal, grow, and flourish. Hayley, you sweet, sweet, most beautiful human among humans, thank you for this one!!!! I know you probably won't see this comment, but thank you from the bottom of my heart!!!
Joey Howards bass is such a delight ....!!!
So good to revisit a work and realize it sounds better than the first time you listened.
Hayley never fails to help me cry myself to sleep.
My favorites so far:
-Sudden desire
-Cinnamon
-Leave it alone
I'm pretty sure I've listened to this song over a hundred times now and it doesn't get old. It just gives me goosebumps every single time, I don't remember the last time I heard something so beautiful.
This is the kind of self-empowerment song we needed.
her songs are so raw it seems like we're reading her diary
Love the emotion on her face at 4:00, that's the feeling making music should invoke. I think this may be the best song of the album.
My favourite track off the album.
I absolutely adore the lyricism and the message behind it.
From Misery Business to this, i'm crying, this is so beautiful, she's finally at peace with herself
Julien Baker and Phoebe Bridgers
Don't forget Lucy Dacus!
Her different works throughout the years have come at the appropriate times for me and this album is no exception. This a truly beautiful track. The lyricism and ability to put forward complicated problems but still have it all balanced is...inspirational and stunning.
Her voice is so delicate! Am I the only one that feels her voice, ever syllable!? She’s so great!!
Kinda freaking out about Boygenius being a part of this :o
So sentitive! It's complex to explain how this melody sparked me a huge nostalgia, even though it's a new song, it transported me to the past somehow...
This is special. Women, girls & lovers of both be unafraid. Thank you Haley! xo
I will forever remember this album, it fucking changed my life.
how so?
Thank you for keep giving us music during this time.
i will never stop coming back. this masterpiece simply rewired my brain and im just so thankful for that. hayley (alone and alongside paramore) has given me so much strength, taught me so much, and helped me understand so many things in life, and keeps doing it till this day. i am very grateful to exist at the same time as her.
This song get better everytime i listen to it
Ooof that 6/8 syncopation with those gorgeous guitar parts at the end was perfect. the backing vocals from those girls and the strings sound awesome. Dark and beautiful as always!
Phoebe and Hayley, my two guilty pleasures. Great track!!!
i was literally listening to the song and then i received the notification 😳😳👌🏻
for last three years i listen the entire album and i can still find something new every time i'm returning to it
it's SO special to me, i can't describe💔
Is really natural, actually I am glad with this song, out there the magic was making the women always working to improve each detail it's terrific, I liked the chorus, the guitar, the keyboard actually is soft rock nice of course!
This song brings tears to my eyes everytime I listen to it. This entire album is a masterpiece of emotion. I cannot say enough good things about each song. Im just in awe of this woman.
Haley, I know you probably won't see this but, you're entire essence gives me life. Your insight, your smile, your voice, your motivation & this list could go on. Thank you so much for doing everything that you're doing. I, like many others like yourself suffer from depression and you have really helped me get through some really rough stretches. Keep it up you beautiful wonderful woman!
I really like the sound that Hailey has created. It's very groovy with an amazingly sensitive and sensual voice. I really hope she goes global. She deserves it. Fantastic work.
I was shocked to learn that she works/is friends with phoebe bridgers, because I love both of their music so
I just discovered boygenius and oh boy I am freaking out when I realized the group provided backing vocals for this song. So amazing!!!
Had this song in my head a few days now since it was release. Can't wait for more.
björk influences on this track and i love it
I just got a set of tickets to see you in June! Can’t wait to vibe at the Fillmore. Wishing you a healthy and safe day! Love you Hayley. 💕💖
See you in silver spring, hopefully Corona free👋
I am amazed at how i love every paramore song and now i love every hayley solo song, like... you wold think that tou could no-like at least one song when you have such a big pile of songs to choose from, you know? but nope, she just does that. And i cant seem to dislike a thing she does. I do have favorites tho, and this one is a fave right now. It makes me feel so healed and delicate but confident. Thanks so much Hayley
Kudos to Taylor for producing this wonderful song!
this album means so much to me; the story and sound is so beautiful
Always cool to see everyone singing and playing in the videos.
everyone’s ranking their fave songs but liek I CANT CHOOOSE
GOD SAME THEYRE ALL SO GOOD
A whole new stage of this woman, so different an yet so dazzling... keep on surprising every heart and mind! Way to go girl!
Hayley, you may never read this but on the off chance that you do, please know in your soul that this song along with your entire album but damn THIS SONG, helped me heal so much. I was feeling like taking my
Own life last night so much that I ended up dreaming of just how I’d accomplish it. When I thought back to not comparing my beauty to others and not becoming a thorn in my own side, I was floored. This song is written so beautifully and just what we all needed during this time. Thank you thank you THANK YOU! ❤️❤️
When your name is iris and your name is in the title to a Hayley Williams song: 👁👄👁. I feel so special ;w; even though she is just talking about flowers ;w;
Iris is such a gorgeous name
Major Robinson thank you!
@@Tinklwinkle apparently it's also the name of the goddess of the rainbow. Also you're welcome😁
Major Robinson yep I know :3 I always brag to my friends about it :>
I love that line. I think it can be interpreted both ways. In the lyrics its capitalized, talking about the flower, but listening to it you can also imagine her talking about sparking envy in the irises in your eyes as well.
Her music has really matured and im loving the change yall let's support this women till the end 💗
I can't express how proud I am of you. I can't express how much I love your music. Every single has it's own essence and it's so beautiful.
My GF always post a lyrics on her Facebook account, so I tried to search the lyrics she posted and this what i found. and now I'm addicted on this song❤️
Hey Hayley. I just want to genuinely thank you for this song. Everyone has been feeling horrible lately and this has helped a lot so from the bottom of my heart thank you.
Bless all nations with this voice
This song came out at the right time, exactly when I needed to heal myself. Love u hayley ❤️
I can hear Björk singing this song perfectly!
.

Thank you so much for your work, Hayley! It's stunning ♥
Hayley Williams with Boygenius? That's awesome.... I'm a massive Julien Baker fan
This song is so pure. And right. We, women, are so powerful and beautiful. United we are an eternal blooming garden. Thank you.
I love you Hayley, come to Argentina please!
boygenius and hayley williams working on a track together? my life is complete
i was smiling the whole time watching this
The message is so empowering.. Go girls.
EU OLHEI E GRITEI: ARTISTA!!
absolutely obsessed. i literally have a painting of these four flowers in my room.... love that for me
The lyrics are brilliant and touching for so many reasons, the verse "soft and wild" feels for me like a definition of femininity. Thank you for your music.
