HOLE
- Petals Lyrics / with translationsMusic: Love, Corgan, Erlandson Lyrics: Love
She's the angel on top of the tree
Sugarheart here she comes, she's going to fall on me
Innocence was our fire, we told the truth
I miss the sweet boys in the summer of their youth
Tear the petals off of you, make you tell the truth
Tear the petals off of you
Tearl the petals off of you, make you tell the truth
Tear the petals off of you
They will make you so, so cynical
The fire burns the flesh, destroy the past that made us old
She's the grace of this world, she's too pure
For the laics of this world, this world is a whore
Tear the petals off of you, make you tell the truth
Tear the petals off of you,
Tear the petals off of you, make you tell the truth
Tear the petals off of you
Oh, it's all mine and hey, it's all mine and hell it's it's all mine
I never knew what I could be
All the darlings buds of May, they fall with no sound
They carry you down, they carry you down
ooooh ooo, ooooh ooo
All the lillies bloomed and blossomed, wilted and they're shivering
I can't stop their withering
Oh, this world is a war
Tear the petals off of you, make you tell the truth
Tear the petals off of you
Tearl the petals off of you, make you tell the truth
Tear the petals off of you
Tearl the petals off of you, make you tell the truth
Tear the petals off of you
She's the angel on top of the tree
Sugarheart here she comes, she's going to fall on me
Innocence was our fire, we told the truth
I miss the sweet boys in the summer of their youth
Tear the petals off of you, make you tell the truth
Tear the petals off of you
Tearl the petals off of you, make you tell the truth
Tear the petals off of you
They will make you so, so cynical
The fire burns the flesh, destroy the past that made us old
She's the grace of this world, she's too pure
For the laics of this world, this world is a whore
Tear the petals off of you, make you tell the truth
Tear the petals off of you,
Tear the petals off of you
Oh, it's all mine and hey, it's all mine and hell it's it's all mine
I never knew what I could be
All the darlings buds of May, they fall with no sound
They carry you down, they carry you down
ooooh ooo, ooooh ooo
All the lillies bloomed and blossomed, wilted and they're shivering
I can't stop their withering
Oh, this world is a war
Tear the petals off of you, make you tell the truth
Tear the petals off of you
Tearl the petals off of you, make you tell the truth
Tear the petals off of you
Tearl the petals off of you, make you tell the truth
Tear the petals off of you

The metaphor of tearing petals off stands for unveiling the truth and causing the end of innocence, while the lyrics talk of the short life of beauty and the unavoidable decay in a world full of war and cynicism. Petals lyrics mostly convey feelings of anxiety, love, nostalgia, social commentary, and heartbreak. The song, however, simultaneously revolves around the themes of innocence and youth, truth and revelation, and disillusionment with the world.
