Lyrics
Be still
Expression urging stillness or calmness
We're too weak
Acknowledging collective weakness
Cuts of crackling leaves
Imagery of dry leaves making a sound
Lay them on the floor
Suggesting a ritualistic or symbolic act with leaves on the floor
All these memories
Reference to various remembered experiences
Such a dark grey cloud
Depiction of memories with a dark and somber tone
Has stopped following
Indication that a troubling cloud has ceased to pursue
Two trees
Reference to two trees, possibly symbolic of a relationship or connection
An endless drought
Description of a prolonged lack of rainfall
A garden so weakling
Characterization of a feeble or struggling garden
There's time
Mention of the existence of time
The stems are dry
Observation of dry stems in the garden
But the lake, beckoning
Reference to a lake that is inviting or calling out
Chase the water
Encouragement to pursue the water, suggesting renewal or rebirth
I'll find my place just by the desert flower
Seeking a place akin to a desert flower, symbolizing resilience
Embrace

Again

Lay them on the floor
Recurrence of the symbolic act with leaves on the floor
All these memories
Reiteration of memories under a dark cloud
Such a dark grey cloud
Reiteration of the troubling cloud ceasing to follow
Has stopped following
Repetition indicating relief from the persistent dark cloud
Lay them on the floor
Reiteration of the symbolic act with leaves
All these memories
Repetition of recalling memories amidst the dark cloud
Such a dark grey cloud
Reiteration of memories under the ceased dark cloud
Has stopped following
Final affirmation of the dark cloud no longer pursuing
