The song “Oleander” describes a toxic emotional relationship between the singer and a person taking care of them- in spite of what they do wrong to them or anyone else. The Nerium Oleander used as a metaphor here is a beautiful shrub but it takes lots of effort to take care of its special needs. If...
[Verse 1: Ryan and Molly Guldemond]
You stood beside
Me when I
Was out of my mind
I broke the glass
And you were there
To sweep it aside
[Pre-Chorus: Molly and Ryan Guldemond]
And if you leave me
Rest assured, it would kill me
[Verse 2: Ryan and Molly Guldemond]
I make a mess
And you'll be there
To help me undress
I'll be unclean
I'll be obscene
You'll be the rest
[Pre-Chorus: Molly with Ryan Guldemond and Jasmin Parkin]
And if you leave me
Rest assured, it would kill me
[Chorus: Ryan with Molly Guldemond and Jasmin Parkin]
Like an oleander
Light, white leaves
Of an oleander
White, like me
[Refrain]
Ah-ah, ah-ah, ah
Ah-ah, ah-ah, ah
Ah-ah, ah-ah, ah (Ahhh)
Ah-ah, ah-ah, ah
[Verse 3: Ryan with Molly Guldemond]
I'm (I'm) like a child
In a sty
I play with fire
I burn you right out
I burned your bible
You tried to cry (Cry)
Put on a smile
[Pre-Chorus: Jasmin Parkin with Molly and Ryan Guldemond]
And if you leave me
Rest assured, it would kill me
Rest assured, if you leave
[Chorus]
Like an oleander
Light, white leaves
Of an oleander
White, like me
Oh, the oleander
Light, white leaves
Of an oleander
White, like me
[Outro]
Ah-ah, ah-ah, ah
Ah-ah, ah-ah, ah
Ah-ah, ah-ah, ah
Ah-ah, ah-ah, ah
Ah-ah, ah-ah, ah
Ah-ah, ah-ah, ah
Ah-ah, ah-ah, ah
Ah-ah, ah-ah, aaahhh...
Mmmm...
