Dark Roots
Growing from Dark Roots: Embracing Imperfection and Strength
Lyrics
Never saw my mother cry
Expressing a lack of awareness regarding the mother's emotional vulnerability.
But I'm sure she did
Believing that the mother experienced emotional pain despite not witnessing her cry.
Barely made it out of where she lived
Describing a difficult past and narrowly escaping challenging circumstances.
She said forgive my wondering ways and
Mother asking for forgiveness for her wandering ways and unchosen paths.
Roads I didn't take
Acknowledging roads not taken and choices not made, possibly expressing regret.
For knots I didn't tie
Reference to untied knots, indicating unresolved issues or challenges.
Didn't make this bed
Not claiming responsibility for the current situation but accepting it.
But here I lie
Acceptance of the consequences, lying in the metaphorical bed created by past actions.
I know I'm not perfect
Acknowledging personal imperfections without offering excuses.
I make no excuse
Expressing accountability without trying to justify mistakes.
Darling be patient
Asking for patience from a loved one during a period of personal growth.
I'm growing from Dark Roots
Indicating a transformative journey emerging from a challenging or dark past.
You don't always see me cry
Conveying that personal struggles are not always visible to others.
But baby I do
Admitting to experiencing vulnerability and emotions privately.
I lay awake at night
Revealing a sense of concern or care for someone else during restless nights.
Praying over you
Expressing a form of emotional connection through prayer for the well-being of another.
I'll forgive myself one day
Committing to self-forgiveness for past choices, indicating personal growth.
For choices I know I've made
Acknowledging awareness of personal choices and their consequences.
Things I don't understand
Expressing confusion or lack of understanding about certain aspects of life.
It's not where you start, but where you land
Emphasizing the importance of one's destination rather than the starting point.
I know I'm not perfect
Reiteration of personal imperfection without seeking excuses.
I make no excuse
Restating accountability and refraining from offering justifications.
Darling be patient
Repeating the plea for patience during a period of personal development.
I'm growing from dark roots
Reaffirmation of growth emerging from a challenging or dark past.
There is power in pain
Recognizing strength and empowerment that can arise from experiences of pain.
Love within fear
Highlighting the presence of love even in the face of fear.
Strength to be gained
Emphasizing the potential for personal strength to be gained through challenges.
I'll be right here
Committing to stand by and support someone through their journey of growth.
