Lyrics
I don't wanna go home
I resist returning home.
Send me out to the garden to live like a gnome
I prefer living in a garden like a gnome.
Let the rain wash away my paint
I welcome the rain to cleanse me of my troubles.
So I can get a new coat and let go of the pain
To start anew, I want to shed my old self and pain.
Next to the roses is where I'll live
Choosing to reside next to roses, symbolizing beauty.
Scritch scratched by thorns until I learn how to forgive myself
Accepting discomfort, represented by thorns, as a path to self-forgiveness.
Moss will cover me whole
Embracing the growth of moss as a natural aging process.
Let it be the only sign I'm growin old
Seeing moss as a sign of aging, accepting the inevitability of getting old.
Let the bees cover me
Desiring to be surrounded by bees, symbolizing sweetness and positivity.
They'll make me sweet with their golden honey
Believing that bees' honey will sweeten and improve one's character.
This little spot of dead grass
Noticing a spot of dead grass, a contrast to showcase resilience.
The contrast will show that I can last
Understanding that enduring hardships reveals strength and durability.
To move me would let the bugs beneath me die
Choosing not to move, recognizing the interconnectedness of life.
See here I'm fine
Asserting personal well-being despite challenges.
I'm not fine
Confronting the internal struggle of not being entirely fine.
Leave my heart by the river
Leaving emotions or vulnerabilities by the river, seeking hope.
That's where I'll be given my sliver of hope
Anticipating a small but significant chance for a positive change.
Bury me in dirt up to my neck
Opting for a burial in dirt, surrendering to the natural cycle of life.
And let mother nature take care of the rest
Trusting Mother Nature to take care of the transformative process.
Flowers will grow from my soul
Expecting personal growth, symbolized by flowers emerging from the soul.
And no longer will I be scared of getting old
Overcoming the fear of aging through this natural metamorphosis.
Or so I hope
Expressing uncertainty about the success of this transformative journey.
Let the roots hold me together
Seeking stability and resilience, akin to roots holding a plant together.
And maybe I'll be able to handle the weather
Hoping that inner strength will enable facing life's challenges.
It will get better
Believing in the potential for improvement over time.
I think I found my new home
Finding a sense of belonging and security in a new home.
Here I feel safe and no longer feel the need to roam
Feeling safe and content, eliminating the desire to wander.
Cause here I know
Acknowledging the acceptance that it's okay to let go of past struggles.
It's okay to let go
Embracing the idea of release and moving forward positively.
