Lyrics
There's a loss in moving cities
There is a sense of loss associated with relocating to different cities.
See it coming down like rain
Anticipating change or challenges, symbolized by the metaphor of rain.
All the older plants repotted
Established and matured aspects of life are uprooted or disrupted.
All the saplings washed away
Younger, vulnerable elements are swept away in the upheaval.
And the pains of growing fleeting
The discomfort and challenges of personal growth are transient.
Spreading thin and unattached from
Experiencing a sense of detachment due to premature changes.
A premature uprooting
Refers to the early and sudden disruption of established connections.
By the mudslides and the flash floods
Natural disasters and challenges contribute to the difficult process of uprooting.
Told them this was gonna make you
Forewarning others that the experience will transform or shape the individual.
And they wanted you to go
Others encouraged the individual to embark on the journey.
And you loved them for the season
Expressing gratitude for the support received during a particular phase.
And they loved you for your growth
Reciprocal appreciation for personal development and growth.
There's a thunder in your heartbeat
Symbolic representation of excitement or tension in one's heartbeat.
Keeping everything in time
Maintaining synchronization and balance amid life's challenges.
All the particles compressing
Elements of life are compressed, possibly referring to pressure or stress.
In your lungs and in your mind
Struggle experienced in both physical and mental aspects of life.
And the storm that makes you restless
The discomfort or unease serves a purpose in personal growth.
Is a necessary strain
Highlighting the inevitability of challenges in personal development.
There's a loss in moving cities
Reiteration of the theme of loss associated with relocation.
See it coming down like rain
The impending change is emphasized using rain as a metaphor.
Told them this was gonna make you
Reiteration of the transformative nature of the experience.
And they wanted you to go
Others desired or expected the individual to undertake the journey.
And you loved them for the season
Reflecting on the support received during a particular phase of life.
And they loved you for your growth
Mutual admiration for personal growth and development.
You told them this was gonna make you
The individual communicates the transformative nature of the experience.
So they wanted you to go
Others expressed a desire or expectation for the individual to leave.
And you loved them for the season
Reflecting on the support and connections during a particular season of life.
And you always will, you know
Expressing enduring love and appreciation for those connections.
And they loved you for your growth
Others appreciated and valued the individual's personal development.
And they loved you for your growth
Repetition of the appreciation for the individual's growth.
And they loved you for your growth
Continued acknowledgment of the individual's personal development.
And they always will, you know
Emphasizing the enduring nature of the appreciation for the individual's growth.
