ROLLING STONES

- Dead Flowers Lyrics

Well when you're sitting there in your silk upholstered chair
Talking to some rich folk that you know
Well I hope you won't see me in my ragged company
Cause you know I could never be alone

Take me down little Susie, take me down
I know you think you're the queen of the underground
And you can send me dead flowers every morning
Send me dead flowers by the mail
Send me dead flowers to my wedding And
I won't forget to put roses on your grave

Well when you're sitting back in your rose pink cadillac
Making bets on Kentucky Derby Day
Ah, I'll be in my basement room with a needle and a spoon
And another girl to take my pain away
Take me down little Susie, take me down
I know you think you're the queen of the underground
And you can Send me dead flowers every morning
Send me dead flowers by the mail
Send me dead flowers to my wedding
And I won't forget to put roses on your grave

Take me down little Susie, take me down
I know you think you're the queen of the underground
And you can send me dead flowers every morning
Send me dead flowers by the US mail
Say it with dead flowers in my wedding
And I won't forget to put roses on your grave
No, I won't forget to put roses on your grave

What is the meaning behind Dead Flowers lyrics?


When we try to understand the message behind it, the song 'Dead Flowers' portrayed by The Rolling Stones is interpreted as a rebel act and a sign of endurance over rejection and poor treatment. The text refers to the metaphor of sending dead flowers as a way to show the singer's insincerity and the Queen of the Underground's power over him and the singer's non-acceptance as being powerful and independent. The lyrics of Dead flowers put the most emphasis on sadness, losing love, suffering, being lonely and contemplation. However, central to the song are the themes of social inequality, loss, and mourning, and addiction and escapism. References to drug use, and pain and loss being the main subject matter, the lyrics might not be suitable for children below 13 years of age. The mention of a 'needle and a spoon' points towards drug use, and the overall vibe of the song being about darker stuff makes it necessary to have parental guidance.
