Garden of Growth
Blossoming Resilience: Charly Oakley's Garden of Growth
Lyrics
It's been a while since I planted those seeds
Reflecting on the time elapsed since the speaker sowed the seeds.
Silly sunsets are finally dawning on me
Realizing the beauty of simple joys as metaphorically represented by "silly sunsets."
I haven't checked on the tulips since September
Admitting neglect towards personal growth symbolized by tulips since September.
Been watered down with shit I can't even remember
Feeling overwhelmed by experiences that are difficult to recall.
I didn't realise how much I'd grown
Unaware of personal development until now.
I wasn't sure I'd ever find this home
Expressing uncertainty about finding a sense of belonging or "home."
Inside of me
Referring to the internal journey of self-discovery.
Now I see
Realization dawning on the speaker regarding personal growth.
This garden of growth
Describing the internal space where personal development occurs.
Yeah this garden of growth
Reiterating the idea of personal growth and its significance.
All of this time that I spent focussed on me
Acknowledging the time spent on self-improvement.
I made wells of luck and serendipity
Creating positive outcomes through effort and chance.
And I don't know why but now I stand a little taller
Feeling a sense of elevation, possibly due to personal development.
Must be something special in that water
Suspecting a special quality in the experiences that led to growth.
I didn't realise how much I'd grown
Realizing the extent of personal growth.
I wasn't sure I'd ever find this home
Revisiting the uncertainty of finding a sense of belonging.
Inside of me
Reiteration of the internal journey towards self-discovery.
Now I see
Reaffirming the realization of personal growth.
This garden of growth
Emphasizing the significance of the internal space for growth.
I'm proud of you
Directly expressing pride in oneself.
Yes I said it
Repeating the expression of pride.
I'm proud, hm
Reaffirming the prideful statement.
I'm proud of you
Repeating the expression of pride.
Yes I said it
Reaffirming the prideful statement.
I'm proud
Conveying a strong sense of pride.
If you grow through what you go through
Encouraging resilience and growth through challenges.
You'll be blooming all along
Emphasizing the flourishing outcome of overcoming hardships.
If you grow through what you go through
Reiterating the positive result of overcoming challenges.
You'll be blooming all along
Continuing to highlight the positive growth from adversity.
God you're so fucking strong
Expressing admiration for inner strength.
It's been a while since I planted those seeds
Revisiting the metaphor of planting seeds, indicating a cyclical process.
Hmm, I'm still growing
Stating ongoing growth despite the passage of time.
I didn't realise how much I'd grown
Reflecting on continued personal development.
Till I was standing safe behind this home
Finding safety and security in personal growth.
Inside of me
Reiteration of the internal journey and self-realization.
Now I see
Confirming the understanding of personal growth.
This garden of growth
Reaffirming the significance of the internal space for growth.
Yeah this garden of growth
Reiterating the idea of personal growth and its importance.
(Nothing's coming, nothing better
Expressing the idea that positive change is not immediate but inevitable.
Soon doesn't exist but neither does never
Highlighting the absence of certainty in the concepts of "soon" and "never."
Nothing's coming, nothing's coming)
Repeating the idea that positive change is not immediate.
I didn't realise how much I'd grown
Reiterating the realization of personal growth.
(That's not a proper smile
Commenting on the authenticity of a smile, suggesting personal growth.
Smile!)
Repeating the emphasis on a genuine smile.
