Weeds
Dreaming Amidst the Weeds: A Tale of Love's Evolution
Lyrics
Why'm I lookin for a reason to fall out of this
Expressing a search for a reason to end a relationship.
Self sabotage I know
Acknowledging a tendency to self-destructive behavior.
Cause when I picked you up for dinner
Reflecting on a past date when the speaker picked up the partner.
I couldn't stop grinnin' real wide as we rode there in silence
Describing a joyful moment during the silent ride to dinner.
It got late we decided to lay in my bed
Narrating the decision to spend the night together.
Drifted off to the sound of your breath and the rain
Sharing the peacefulness of falling asleep to the partner's breath and rain.
And I started to dream
Transitioning into a dream state.
And you started to dream
Indicating that both the speaker and the partner are dreaming.
It felt like it used to be
Recalling a dream that resembled a past positive experience.
Then the light came in
Shift in the dream setting with the introduction of light.
It was shallow and faint
Describing the light as shallow and faint.
And your eyes were all wide
Noticing the partner's wide-eyed gaze in the dream.
Just starin' at me
Highlighting the partner's intense stare.
And you breathed and it heaved like the tide of the sea
Comparing the partner's breath to the heaving tide of the sea.
And I started to dream
Reverting to the dream state.
Oh I dreamed
Emphasizing the dreamlike nature of the experience.
It felt like it used to be
Reiterating the similarity of the dream to a past positive state.
When we were woven and weeds were green
Referencing a time when the relationship was strong and vibrant.
And all you ever thought about was me
Reminiscing about a period when the partner's thoughts were focused on the speaker.
Shades change and we got a place
Noting changes in circumstances, such as getting a place together.
Rent's a little too much
Mentioning the challenge of high rent for their place.
And the gutter out front is full of leaves
Observing leaves in the gutter, possibly symbolizing challenges or neglect.
And the back screen's torn
Pointing out a torn back screen, indicating imperfections.
Smells sweet when it pours
Describing a sweet smell during rain.
And we climb out the window of your room
Recalling an intimate moment of climbing out of a window together.
Lay on our backs on the black asphalt roof
Depicting a shared experience of lying on a roof.
And I hold you
Expressing mutual physical and emotional connection.
And you hold me
Emphasizing the reciprocity in the act of holding each other.
Like a dream
Comparing the moment to a dream, suggesting its idyllic nature.
And it's easy
Concluding with the ease of the shared experience.
