“Wildflower” by 5 Seconds of Summer
The titular “wildflower” would actually be the romantic interest of the singer. And most of the lyrics are dedicated to detailing what he admires about her in addition to how she makes him feel. Moreover to some extent, such as during the first verse, the wording comes off as if it may be sensual in nature. And apparently the reason he is referring to her as “wildflower” has something to do with her character.
Indeed once again going back to the first verse, that appellation can be deciphered as if it is at least partially a description of her sensual drive, shall we say. Moreover we find in the post-chorus that the singer refers to this track as “a fatal love song”, which may be a further allusion to some type of uncontrollable aspect of her personality. But for the most part her character is not what he focuses on. Rather at the center of Calum’s expressions, once again, is his admiration for this lady. Indeed he dubs her his “favorite fantasy”. And we can easily conclude that he is in fact in love with her, as in thoughts of being with her and romancing her constantly being on his mind.
