The Apothecary Diaries: Hana ni Natte『花になって』【FULL ENGLISH COVER】

Details

Description

if i had a a nickel for every time i ended a year with a cover of this song, i'd have two nickels. which isn't a lot, but it's weird that it happened twice.

well, i promised a full version, and here she is!
...i'm sorry it's so late.

(also, sorry for the mic pops. my microphone is officially 6 years old. poor girl is on her last legs)

this full version has been in the works since MARCH and, honestly, it's a miracle it's even here at all. for those of you who don't follow me on twitter, i've had some health issues this year that basically cost me my voice lol. you know, the thing i kind of need to make content. i'm very very happy to say that things have gotten a bit better (not to jinx it) so maybe i'll be able to turn around some more videos out in 2025!

in other news, THANK YOU SO MUCH FOR 5K!

cannot believe i'm even saying that. (or...ya know...typing it.)

i know i'm a bit late, but i'm truly so touched. if you went back in time and the version of me that sang and uploaded the TV Size version of this song where we'd be today, i'd have a cheeky giggle. never in my wildest dreams did i imagine the year we've had here and i am so grateful for every single one of you who has subscribed, liked or even watched what i do. you have no idea how much it means ♡︎ thank you so much.

Isn’t it safe to live in the shadows, hide away?
I could still bloom from bud to a flower in the shade
Isn’t it safe to be kept a secret all my life?
Where I could root and blossom forever, with no one to derange my right

I don’t care much if it were sweet or bitter
Judging the difference makes me sick and shiver
Look down, my hands are shaking, I am no justice in the flesh

I don’t quite understand love
But one thing I’m in awe of:
Spitting words of adoration for you
Won’t make a difference to the feelings that grew
They’re validated by existence, with no aid

So let me be a flower
Just nihilistic twist on love.
Oh, how it makes me weak, my knees just tremble
I can’t tear my eyes away!
So, be my nourished soil
Water me, I need your poison - oh, it gives me life
Tend our garden filled buds, and sewn with love

Hey so, I need, I need to see your cold smile, oh i need, i need
To see you and to have that chill all to myself-

Isn’t it safe to help from the shadows, be your charm?
This is truly my one only wish, I would never let you come to harm

I welcome your weeds 'round my heart!

Now, so bewitched, fall to your whims
Caught your disease - infect with sin
No holy light could hope to heal my soul
water and grow, let this corruption take hold!

Please, I’m begging you to see sense
So much that you’ve accomplished
I won’t allow your light to dim, welcome my love

And soon, within an instant
The creeping vines relinquished.
For spitting words of deprecation won’t do
Or make difference to the power of truth
You’re validated by existence, hold no shame!

And why not be a flower
Just a nihilistic twist on love - I know it makes you weak,
And your knees tremble,
I can’t tear my eyes away while you tend my soil
Water me, I need your poison - oh, it gives me life
Grow our garden filled buds,
So let go and love
Everything about you, every root they shine so bright,
While you nurtured every bud with that smile of love
