Lyrics

The trees are whispering to me

The trees symbolize nature communicating with the speaker.

Don't look back if you want to be free

An urging to move forward and not dwell on the past for freedom.

Must be something there to see

Suggesting there's something important to discover or understand.

Must be something there to see

Reiteration of the importance of exploring the unknown.

Like the sun, cover me with warmth

Desire for warmth and positivity, like the sun's embrace.

Shadows in my head will make me mad

Internal struggles causing mental distress.

Please leave me alone

A plea for solitude, a need for personal space.

Please leave me alone

Repetition emphasizes the desire for solitude.

Feels like a trap

Sensation of being ensnared in a challenging situation.

A trap I'm walking in

A realization of being trapped but continuing the journey.

Like a siren the trees sing

The trees' song is alluring, possibly tempting the speaker.

Can I resist this sin

Contemplation of resisting a tempting or forbidden act.

Can I resist this sin

Repetition underscores the struggle with temptation.

You act so kind, I want to believe

Skepticism despite a desire to trust someone's kindness.

But my brain tells me to leave

An internal conflict between emotions and rational thinking.

Maybe it's me

Suggesting introspection to understand personal contribution.

Follow the river, but swim against

Encouragement to go against the mainstream, resist conformity.

This thing we have we won't understand

An acknowledgment of a complex, incomprehensible relationship.

The tide is high, but the water's low

A paradoxical situation with high emotions and low understanding.

We both feel what we'll never show

Mutual feelings unexpressed, creating an emotional barrier.

And when I'll go I can probably show

Anticipation of revealing emotions when it might be too late.

Will it be to late we will never know

Uncertainty about the timing of emotional revelation.

We will never know

Emphasizing the perpetual state of uncertainty.

How can we ever know

Expressing the difficulty of gaining certainty.

How can we ever know

Reiteration of the challenge in finding certainty.

The trees keep whispering to me

Reconnection with nature's communication, reinforcing guidance.

Don't look back if you wanna be free

Reiteration of the advice to avoid dwelling on the past for freedom.

Must be something there to see

Reiteration of the belief that there's something important to discover.

Must be something there to see

Repetition reinforces the importance of exploration.

And like the sun, cover me with warmth

Desire for warmth and positivity, echoing earlier sentiments.

Shadows in my head keep making me mad

Continued internal struggles causing mental distress.

Just leave me alone

A plea for solitude, repeating the need for personal space.

Just leave me alone

Repetition emphasizes the ongoing desire for solitude.

And when I'll go I can probably show

Reiteration of the anticipation of revealing emotions.

Will it be too late we will never know

Reiterating the uncertainty about the timing of emotional revelation.

We will never know

Emphasizing the perpetual state of uncertainty.
