leaves on a tree
Harmony Unveiled: Leaves on a Tree by Josh Gluck
Lyrics
Don’t tell me that I’m all alone
Expressing a desire not to be considered alone.
Wooden walls and hands of stone
Describing an environment with solid barriers (wooden walls) and unfeeling qualities (hands of stone).
Blinded eyes we’ve always known
Referring to a collective blindness or ignorance that has always existed.
Don’t tell me that I’m all alone
Reiteration of the sentiment of not wanting to be perceived as alone.
Half the world is frozen cold
Highlighting a world divided or in conflict, using the metaphor of half being frozen cold.
Our planet burns and we’re getting old
Pointing out environmental issues and the aging of the planet.
The one thing I can prove to you as you stand next to me
Claiming the ability to prove a shared presence despite challenges.
We’re here together now
Affirming the current coexistence.
Leaves on a tree
Introducing the metaphor of leaves on a tree, symbolizing unity and interconnectedness.
It isn’t hard to see
Emphasizing the visibility and clarity of the unity symbolized by leaves on a tree.
Why are we here and where’d we come from
Pondering existential questions about the purpose and origin of human existence.
How many lives have been under the sun
Contemplating the numerous lives that have existed beneath the sun.
Where are we going, can we out run
Raising questions about the future and the possibility of escaping destiny.
That we’re all disguised as the only one
Suggesting that individuals often mask themselves as unique, though they share commonalities.
Think of all your choices that have brought you to me
Encouraging reflection on the life choices that lead to shared moments.
We’re here together now
Reiteration of the affirmation of current togetherness.
Leaves on a tree
Reemphasizing the unity symbolized by leaves on a tree.
It isn’t hard to see
Reaffirming the clear visibility of this unity.
I know that I’m not all alone
Asserting the awareness of not being truly alone.
Break down your walls of wood and stone
Encouraging the breaking down of personal barriers for greater connection.
With open eyes we’ve always known
Affirming the existence of shared awareness with open eyes.
Don’t tell me that we’re on our own
Rejecting the idea of complete isolation or independence.
Half the world is frozen cold
Repeating the image of a world divided, with half frozen cold.
Our planet burns and we’re getting old
Reiterating environmental concerns and the inevitable aging of the planet.
All I wanna to prove to you as you stand next to me
Expressing a desire to prove the shared presence to someone standing nearby.
We’re here together now
Confirming the present togetherness.
Leaves on tree
Reaffirming the symbolism of leaves on a tree and the unity it represents.
It isn’t hard to see
Reiterating the visibility and clarity of this unity.
