[2] This line has a neat little pun. 'Karete' means 'withered', as in a dying flower or a dried-up leaf, and the word is usually not used for abstract nouns. But actually, 'kotoba' literally means, 'leaves of words' (koto = word; ba = leaf), which is why the lyricist can say it is withered (that is, 'karete').
