The first track of FLOWERS for VASES /descansos seems to pick up the story Hayley told in her previous album Petals for Armor from its tenth track “Why We Ever”, where she sang about forgetting the sound of the voice of someone she distanced herself from:
I’ve spent a while
On the stranger side of...
[Verse 1]
First thing to go was the sound of his voice, ah
It echoes still, I'm sure, but I can't hear it
Was it gentle or cold? Or maybe just noise, I
Heard what I wanted until I couldn't
[Chorus]
And I'm scared to lose
Ah, what's left of you
[Verse 2]
Time moves slow, I just talk to myself, I
Finish my own sentences the way you used to (Mmm)
Why do memories glow the way real moments don't? Ah
My altar is full of all love's delusions
[Chorus]
And I, mmm
And I, mmm
And I'm scared to lose
And I (I)
What's left of you (I)
I should forget
But I love what's left
[Outro]
The first thing to go was the sound of his voice
