What is the meaning of BLACKHOLE Lyrics from REVIVE+?
The vocalist sings about rising through hardship, using images like a flower growing in mud and a bird flying with torn wings. One line stands out: ‘I’m a flower blooming even in the mud.’ This image shows resilience without needing to explain it. The songwriter turns pain into power with simple, physical metaphors.
