Nothing can stop it's narrative'Д®ven if you promise yourself that you will change your body, the fact remains that you'll always be transgender. Will you be able to go through that discomfort? Will they be able to witness those changes? Will they be able to go through those changes? A flower that is blooming and shedding petals at the same time Someone that is growing up, but falling apart at the same time. That they're 'falling apart' because of their discomfort with their body. This could refer to the person that is feeling discomfort with their body. Falling petals could suggest that the flower is falling apart.

I think they're referring to the changes the body goes through. 'Will you watch petals shed from flowers in bloom?' Only much later do a lot of people find out that it's an actual thing and that they're not crazy. Parents try to tell their child that what they're feeling is wrong, just a phase and something they should forget about. Will a child realize that they're transgender? (possibly before puberty) A lot of children do acknowledge that they don't feel like the gender they were assigned, but a lot of them don't realize that it may be an actual thing, instead of something weird that they only go through. To exhume means to dig up, this could refer to their identity. How long could they hold on to the body before it starts maturing? Could they ever preserve that? Would the people around them let them? So here they could be referring to the body before being changed by puberty. If this process is paused (with the use of hormone blockers) transitioning becomes much easier. When gaining secondary sex characteristics, a body tends to become more masculine/feminine. Preserve could refer to the body before puberty.

'Will you ever preserve, will you ever exhume?' My InterpretationKeeping the title in mind, I think this song might be about the suffering transgender people go through with their bodies while growing up.
