Lyrics:
As long as I stand
To face the crowd
To know my name
To know its sound
It’s good to be soft
When they push you down
Oh God turn me into a flower
It always takes me
It’s such a curse to be so hard
You shatter easily
And can’t pick up all those shards
It’s the curse of losing yourself
When the mirror takes you too far
Oh God turn me into a flower
You see the reflection
And you want it more than the truth
You yearn to be that dream
You could never get to
‘Cause the person on the other side
Has always just been you
Oh God turn me into a flower

I had such an incredibly cathartic experience listening to this. Driving down a road that cut through thick woodland as the sun was low in the sky, deep orange sunbeams blinked through the perforated foliage, and as the sounds of nature poured out of the speakers I was taken over by a sense of deep wellbeing that moved me tears. Natalie, if you're reading this, you have such and extraordinary gift to give to the world. Please never stop using it.

Interesting. Another person felt this way in the comments, saying "Seriously top 3 most beautiful songs I’ve ever heard." I replied to him with the other two songs: Franz Shubert's "Ave Maria," and Prince & the Revolution's "Sometimes it Snows in April."
For me, this feels like a successor to her song "movies" for some reason, but it's even more ethereal and mesmerizing. I love the steadily increasing volume of nature sounds like the birds chirping while the instruments and her voice are slowly fading out.

It is. They're both about the relationship between escapism, denial, and narcissism. In Movies, Natalie gets lost in the fantasies of the stories she grew up with and dreams of herself as their main character, neglecting reality in the process. This song is what you get when those dreams don't come true and fall apart, because your imperfection makes you incompatible with them. God Turn Me Into a Flower is heavily inspired by the tale of Narcissus, a man who fell in love with his reflection because he saw it as perfect, but did not recognize it as himself. The third verse is Natalie's realization that although she dreamed she was the star of a show, she did not recognize the star as herself, and when she began to do so, the fantasy fell apart because it was incompatible with who she is. But she also saw her own beauty regardless of that. The "flower" symbolizes a better ability to cope with reality, one that is not concerned with achieving unrealistic or overwhelming expectations and is instead soft, flexible, and beautiful in and of itself. A symbol of acceptance of the self and reality. I love those two songs because down to the love of fictional narratives and how that led me to not recognize my image of myself, I have lived them both. Only now am I becoming the flower.

you're totally right @@alexz4752, personally this is my favorite song of all time, the best song I've ever heard in all of my life, I have to hear this song like I need to breathe, beautiful poetry, it's like a dream, a mystery, something beyond all of us, ineffable, peace for me, truly a refuge.
this song feels like when you lost everything and the only thing that you have is hope
I can't believe in my ears. Celestial sound and her warm voice sooth me down...
I just lost my father a week ago and during this week I found "Titanic Rising". It's been a rough time since I've seen my father get worse and worse until the day he had his last breath in front of me, my mother and my brother. The only soothing thing I could find was your music. It calms me a bit and makes me think of my dad in a non tragic way. I still think of him but it doesn't hurt. So thank you for that.

I fell in love with someone and we had what I would say was the happiest day of my entire life. But I don't think we will ever be together. This song captures my feeling perfectly, the hope, the sorrow, the epiphany, the burning in my chest.

A perfect fit.

rarely has a song been so achingly beautiful. like a light gently cascading down, healing everything in its wake. thank you, weyes blood.
Weyes Blood, if you are reading this, this is your best song and one of the best songs ever
This song touches my soul
this song is divine... sobbing
Her voice, songwriting, arrangements...DREAMY. I would love a collaboration between her and Tamino.
The enigmatic songs of Enya immediately came to my mind while I was listening to this track, and I meant that in the best way possible. Meditative low hums, invigorating bird cries, a vocal performance that is at once both graceful and powerful and euphonious synths all form a melodically soothing balm for the soul, perfect for lying in bed and staring out at the window

natalie’s albums have been somewhat of a spiritual progression for me, which i can relate to. hearts aglow feels like a love song to the collective 🥲
All of our mistakes in the human race come down to this ..... I love this song so much
My interpretation of this song is that indeed it's a prayer, a masterpiece. I particularly love that every time she says "oh God, turn me into a flower" she changes it... As if she was shy or insecure somehow but grew along the way. This song also screams CPTSD... To look in a mirror and wish that you could have fulfilled your childhood dreams... I'm sorry, I can't explain that feeling.

I can fully understand what you mean. And for me, although I know it's silly, I don't want to see my favourite people in the world not resonate with my favourite albums in the world. I tend to be extremely protective of albums such as Titanic Rising or Bloom by Beach House as they mean so much to me that I don't want to feel shattered if my loved ones are just "meh" about them. I know it's completely irrational but I guess that's the way it is.
