Anais Mitchell- Flowers(Eurydice's song)-lyrics

# 11 from the album ªªHADESTOWNªª released on Righteous Babe in March of 2010. ~ Margaret Reges, All Music Guide.
Lyrics:
What I wanted was to fall asleep
Close my eyes and disappear
Like a petal on a stream, a feather on the air
Lily white and poppy red
I trembled when he laid me out
You won't feel a thing, he said, when you go down
Nothing gonna wake you now
Dreams are sweet until they're not
Men are kind until they aren't
Flowers bloom until they rot and fall apart
Is anybody listening?
I open my mouth and nothing comes out
Nothing
Nothing gonna wake me now
Flowers, I remember fields
Of flowers, soft beneath my heels
Walking in the sun
I remember someone
Someone by my side
Turned his face to mine
And then I turned away
Into the shade
You, the one I left behind
If you ever walk this way
Come and find me lying in the bed I made

@carbine125 She Means That At First (When Men Want That One Thing......) They Start Kind And Then.... Not

[carbine125]

I have a question about this song the line "Men are kind untill the arn't" is she saying that it's inevitble? like the rotting of flowers that men will end up not being kind because idk that sounds like a generalization to me. i love the song but that part of the song is sort of bugging me and i'd like to know if people have some ideas for this song in general?
