*If you haven’t noticed yet, this song draws inspiration from sunflowers. Sunflowers are flowers that are known to track and face the direction of the sun from east to west when they’re young but eventually settle to facing east when fully developed.

Not only did you get to listen to a good song but you also learned something new that you can whip out when an awkward silence comes up.

I appreciate any suggestions you can give in order to make this translation better.
