Puma Blue explained the following about “Velvet Leaves” on Facebook on the 15th of September 2020, “I wrote this song very quickly one day last year, but it took much longer to process what I was trying to say. 5 years ago, my sister was in a really bad place and one day we nearly lost her.

[Verse 1]
Stood in your last breath
Couldn't believe it was gone
And that weighed a ton
Faced with the first death
Steeped in plain regret
You were a sight for sorest eyes
Every word you spoke I swear
Coulda made me cry
[Chorus]
And in this dream we fall through velvet leaves
Ushered in reverse through the silk-like purse
Outstretching, unending, except for the еnds of you
[Verse 2]
Gotta stay strong for the little one, yеah
Who found you in your room
Gotta strong for our mumma who
Would take the blame however true, yeah
Into the room in which you threatened to depart
Damn, it was so hard to let you go that night

Ushered in reverse through the silk-like purse
Outstretching, unending, except for the ends of you
[Outro]

Where's that little girl I knew?
Except for the ends of you
Where's that little girl I knew?
Except for the ends of you
Where's that little girl I knew?
Except for the ends of you
Where's that little girl I knew?
