So the general meaning of this song is both subtle and strong but packed with meaning.
Sway Leeâs verse talks about how he has a big amount of money to keep a
girl as well as sexual pleasures. But he didnât take the relationship
seriously. She left him and it hurt, but he continuously plays down her
feelings like âscreaming at my face baby donât tripâ his lack of
affection is a big deal for her and heâs telling her to just calm down.
She loved him and he didnât care too much about it. âSomeone took an L,
donât know how that felt.â She lost. Not him...
Whereas Posty is a little bit deeper. He basically says that heâs always
gone and he feels bad about not being around. He knows that thereâs a
constant tug of war between his career and his lover.
The correct quote
is: âfighting for my trust and you wonât back down, even if we gotta
risk it all right now.â Which there he means: that there was trouble in
the relationship leading to lack of trust. When heâs not thereâs itâs
impossible for his lover to know whatâs up with him. She doesnât feel
important. But regardless he is stating the option to ârisk it allâ and
either quit his career and choose her or risk losing her and keep his
career.
Sway Lee is talking about being with a girl just sexually whereas Posty
is diving deeper into the roots about his struggles with love.
The chorus and song title reference the word âSunflowerâ as a metaphor
for this type of woman. A sunflower is a happy joyous plant that
requires the perfect amount of sun and care all the time. Sway Leeâs
words could be similar to just watering the plant... keeping it going
but only to see it die quickly. Like itâs not the most important thing.
He just waters this flower when he can remember to. Whereas Postyâs
words are talking about the sunâs rays and nutrients. If post chose her,
heâd have to give it the perfect amount of sun, nutrients, water, the
soil would have to be perfect. A very high maintenance type of care
routine.
âYouâll be left in the dust unless I stuck by you.â- if you just leave a
plant there after you plant it it couldnât survive on itâs own.
âYouâre a sunflower, I think your love would be too much.â- youâre a
needy flower, you require too much time and attention and itâs too much
for me.
âYouâre a sunflowerâ vs âyouâre the sunflower.â -thereâs always one
person in a relationship who tends to be the more affectionate/needs
affection type of perfection.
Bottom line is, you canât grow a garden when you rarely tend to it.
Either put the effort into making it grow, or let someone else take over
for you... And donât be like Sway Lee. Donât waste someoneâs time. Same
goes for both genders... hearts are not toys.

Needless to say, I keep her in check
She was a bad-bad, nevertheless (yeah)
Callin' it quits now, baby, I'm a wreck (wreck)
Crash at my place, baby, you're a wreck (wreck)
Needless to say, I'm keeping her in check
She was all bad-bad, nevertheless
Callin' it quits now, baby, I'm a wreck
Crash at my place, baby, you're a wreck
Thinkin' in a bad way, losin' your grip
Screamin' at my face, baby don't trip
Someone took a big L, don't know how that felt
Lookin' at you sideways, party on tilt
Ooh-ooh-ooh
Some things you just can't refuse
She wanna ride me like a cruise
And I'm not tryna lose
Then you're left in the dust
Unless I stuck by ya
You're the sunflower
I think your love would be too much
Or you'll be left in the dust
Unless I stuck by ya
You're the sunflower
You're the sunflower
Every time I'm leavin' on you (ooh)
You don't make it easy, no (no, no)
Wish I could be there for you (ooh)
Give me a reason to, oh (oh)
Every time I'm walkin' out (oh)
I can hear you tellin' me to turn around (oh, oh)
Fightin' for my trust and you won't back down (no)
Even if we gotta risk it all right now, oh (now)
I know you're scared of the unknown ('known)
You don't wanna be alone (alone)
I know I always come and go (and go)
But it's out of my control
And you'll be left in the dust
Unless I stuck by ya
You're the sunflower
I think your love would be too much
Or you'll be left in the dust
Unless I stuck by ya
You're the sunflower
You're the sunflower (yeah)
