Lyrics
Images of peace
Imagery representing tranquility and harmony
I burn them right into my skin
Metaphorically embedding these peaceful images deeply into oneself
I just wanna see them when I see myself
Desire to retain these images as part of self-identity
She hates it when I do that shit
Someone dislikes or disapproves of this action
And I can't say I love it either
Neither enjoys nor expresses fondness for the situation
We chalk it up to sins of father
Blaming past generations for current problems or mistakes
And family trees and their imposters
Discussing the influence of family lineage and inauthentic relatives
How do we pull the weeds
Metaphor for removing negative influences
How do we plant the roots
Metaphor for establishing a foundation for positivity
How do we sow a seed that bears a fruit
How to initiate positive change that leads to favorable outcomes
Cuz when I'm in the garden
Solo introspection or isolation in personal thoughts
There's never anybody else
Emphasizing being alone in contemplative moments
Your letters they don't come on time
Communication issues or delayed messages from someone important
You've been gone for way too long to call the shots
Person's absence causing them to lose control or authority
Don't get it wrong
Cautioning against misunderstanding the situation
I'm out of trust and I wont live inside this place you've built for us
Refusal to live within someone else's imposed reality
Oooh
Expressing emotions or sounds without specific verbal meaning
Oooh
-Summer brings the crazy
Association of intense emotions with the summer season
Yellow tint and wild eyed
Describing a heightened emotional state and perception
Winter knows I'll never go outside again
Aversion to facing difficult or uncomfortable situations
Paint me and my shadows too
Request to depict oneself and one's hidden aspects artistically
Just make sure that you get my good side
Desire to present a favorable image to others
I know sometimes it's hard to locate
Acknowledging the difficulty in finding certain things
But if you could it would be so nice
Expressing longing or desire for something elusive
Just like the world at night
Hidden aspects or truths in the darkness
There is so much that hides
The unknown or concealed when one's identity is concealed
When you're anonymous you see the light
Realization or revelation when one is anonymous or hidden
And that's how we got here
Explanation of the current situation
But I don't think you really know
Perceived lack of understanding from someone else
Just what we've been or where to go
Uncertainty about past experiences and future directions
Rolling tide it calls for a return to silence
Metaphor for a natural force calling for quietness
Is that all so hard
Rhetorical question about the difficulty of letting go
To just let go of what you want to say and do for once
Encouragement to refrain from expressing oneself for a change
You've been gone for way too long to call the shots
Reiteration of someone's absence impacting decision-making
Don't get it wrong
Warning against misunderstanding the situation
I'm out of trust and I won't live inside this place you've built for us
Refusal to conform to a reality imposed by someone else
Oooh
Expressing emotions or sounds without specific verbal meaning
Oooh
-Oooh
-Oooh
Repetition of expressing emotions or sounds
