Relient K - Marigold Lyrics
I was in third grade
Got a potted plant full of flowers
Ran home and gave them to my mom
She said that they were marigolds
What you call your garden-variety weed
Oh, I'm a marigold
Oh, I'm a marigold
Oh, I'm a marigold
And you picked me
So anyway
I should buy my mom a bouquet
Just to say hey, I'm thinking about you today
That's right
Thinking about everything you did for me
Oh, I'm a marigold
Oh, I'm a marigold
Oh, I'm a marigold
And you picked me
It's not sad anymore
It's not sad anymore
It's not sad anymore
Nothing but the Son in your eyes
Nothing but the Son in your eyes
Nothing but the Son in your eyes
Nothing but the Son in your eyes
If I ever do better than second place
I've gotta go and make a play for your heart
A dormant volcano slowly waking up on New Year's Day
I won't be sprinting to finish the race
But I can feel the butterflies from the start
It's like we're outside running
And there's nothing but the Son in your eyes
Nothing but the Son in your eyes
If I had to be closer to present state
I gotta build something to tear it apart
Of twenty conditions I'll be waking up on New Year's Day
I won't be sprinting to finish the race
But I can feel the butterflies from the start
You've got your blue sunglasses
And there's nothing but the Son in your eyes
Nothing but the Son in your eyes
Nothing but the Son in your eyes
Nothing but the Son in your eyes

Relient K Marigold Comments
I wish I knew what this feeling felt like.
Can we please get some official lyrics? This is one of my absolute favorite songs but I can't understand the parts right after the words "if I'll ever do better than second place" or "if I'll ever get closer than present state." There are many sites that have tried to extrapolate what is being said, but none of their interpretations make sense and some people just leave those parts as [?] because it's very difficult to hear what is being said. The genius website gets the most accurate interpretation from what I can tell, but I am still not convinced they have 100% the correct lyrics.
I had a physical copy of the album at one point, but it doesn't come with a lyric sheet inside, and it has a link that tells you were to find the lyrics but the link doesn't work. This is stressing me out because I am not a very poetic person (I am an aspiring engineer) so I am not able to come up with an interpretation myself that makes any sense (trust me I've tried), but I am also not able to stop thinking about a thought if I haven't satisfied or completed it.

If I ever do better than second place
I gotta go and make a play for your heart
A dormant volcano slowly waking up on New Year's Day
I won't be sprinting to finish the race
But I could feel the butterflies from the start
It's like we're outside running and there's nothing but the sun in your eyes
Nothing but the sun in your eyes
If I had to be closer to present state
I gotta pull something to tear it apart
A dormant condition slowly waking up on New Year’s Day
I won’t be sprinting to finish the race
But I could feel the butterflies from the start
You got your blue sunglasses and there’s
Nothing but the sun in your eyes
I was in third grade
Got a potted plant full of flowers
Ran home and gave them to my mom
She said that they were marigolds
What you call your garden-variety weed
Oh, I'm a marigold
Oh, I'm a marigold
Oh, I'm a marigold
And you picked me
So anyway
I should buy my mom a bouquet
Just to say hey, I'm thinking about you today
That's right
Thinking about everything you did for me
Like I always saying, "grace sets you free"
Oh, I'm a marigold
Oh, I'm a marigold
Oh, I'm a marigold
And you picked me
It's not sad anymore
It's not sad anymore
It's not sad anymore
Nothing but the sun in your eyes
Nothing but the sun in your eyes
Nothing but the sun in your eyes
Nothing but the sun in your eyes
If I ever do better than second place
I've gotta go and make a play for your heart
A dormant volcano waking up [?]
Nothing but the sun in your eyes
Nothing but the sun in your eyes
Nothing but the sun in your eyes
Nothing but the sun in your eyes
Que cancion mas fabulosa Saaludos desde "Otavalo Ecuador"
Saludos de Ambato para ti!
I ADORE this song. Forget and not slow down was my absolute favorite work of you guys and this reminded me a lot of the vibes from that album. Aw man, new favorite song for sure.
Ok but is it "new" or "blue" sunglasses? Cuz I always thought it was new until I looked up the lyrics and they said blue...
" so anyway, I think I'll buy my mom a 💐 " ha typical relient k! I love😍
Low key one of the best songs Relient K have ever done
What could be the meaning of this song?
Edit: The meaning of this song is that Matt was an orphan. This is revealed from the song "Runnin'".
Actually the orphan song was just a story that they made up for the song. Matt Thiessen was never an orphan.
Good to know
I interpret it as a song about losing his mother. Stuff like buying a bouquet (for a grave?) and "It's not sad anymore" and finally "Nothing but the Sun in your eyes" makes me think this. And the past tense used in reference to his mother ("Thinking 'bout everything you did for me")
*stares* I think marigolds are my mom's favorite flower... XD
We need the marigold hidden track
It's on the CD if you buy it ;)
ive listened to the CD a million times, where is the hidden track???
David Ingrassia if you seek backwards from track 1 it will seek to -1:09 and you can listen to it. most cd players should seek (rewind) backwards from track 1
YO thats what i thought!! my car cd player doesnt do it :(
Yes! That's how you had to find the hidden one on MMHMM as well.. had my copy for years and didn't know that lol
I also like how "Nothing but the sun in your eyes" could also be "Nothing but the Son in your eyes."
I've listened to this song more than any other on the album, absolutely love the lyrics, and the part in which the song picks up really reminds me of a lot of the older & faster RK stuff I remember so fondly~
Great song =)
Yeah, the part with "Nothing but the sun in your eyes" seems like a completely different song but somehow fits accordingly
This one really grew on me, second half is definitely the best. I also love Man, Heartache, Local Construction, and Mrs. Hippopotamus
This is powerful! Love it guys.
"Oh, I'm a marigold, and you picked me..." Great stuff!
I love you guys!
