Lyrics

The tree it grows in your garden

The tree grows in your garden.

But you know the branches fall in mine

However, the branches fall into my (another person's) space.

It only becomes a problem

This situation only becomes problematic when the seasons change to summertime.

When the seasons change to summertime

Challenges arise during summertime due to the issues of shared resources.


Nature shares its beauty, and its fruits they are divine

Nature shares its beauty and valuable produce.

Why not share the labour, forget what is yours and what is mine

Suggests sharing work equally and disregarding ownership distinctions.


Let’s forget what it yours, what is mine

Encourages forgetting individual ownership.

Start again erase the borderlines

Advocates for starting anew by eliminating boundaries.

Meant to share just rework the design

Original intention was sharing; proposes redesigning systems to align with this.

And protect against the dollar sign

Urges protection against the negative influence of financial motives.


Leaves of autumn

Refers to the leaves falling during autumn.

Softly greet us, winter comes to meet us

Winter arrives gently after autumn.

Ripples in the lake freeze patterns

Describes freezing patterns formed by ripples in the lake.

Simple pleasures, simple life that treasures

Values simple joys in life that cherish simplicity.

Not what they tell you to love

Rejects societal dictates on what should be loved.

Albeit slowly

Despite slow progress, learning persists.

We’ve been walking

Expresses the lengthy duration of a journey walked.

Long so lonely

Feels a sense of loneliness during this journey.

Been so wrong for all this time

Acknowledges being mistaken or wrong for an extended period.


Let’s forget what it your what is mine

Reiterates the call to forget individual ownership.

Start again erase the borderlines

Emphasizes starting anew by removing boundaries.

Meant to share just rework the design

Reinforces the need to redesign systems for sharing.

And protect against the dollar sign

Reiterates safeguarding against the negative impact of monetary interests.


Do you think that

Asks if there's a possibility for redemption or recovery.

Maybe there’s a chance, that we can make it back

Considers the chance of salvaging a situation before it worsens.

Before all this cracked up

Reflects on taking action before a situation completely falls apart.

Take the path that

Suggests choosing a path leading to greater outcomes beyond a dead-end.

Brings us to much more than just a cul-de-sac

Advises utilizing unconventional or less common methods to enhance life.

Lesser used life hack

Highlights an uncommon or less known life improvement technique.
