Planted Seeds
Harvesting Hope: Noah Gundersen's Poetic Reflection on Life's Weight
Lyrics
You and me before we became enemies
You and I used to be friends before becoming enemies.
Had found a safer place to be
We found a place that felt safer and more secure.
Out here in the rain comfort me
In difficult times (symbolized by rain), seek comfort from each other.
Hold me like you'd want to be
Hold me as you would want to be held.
And I will do the best I can
I will do my best with the limited knowledge I have.
With the little that I know
Expressing humility and acknowledging limited understanding.
It's the waiting hours that hold
The moments of anticipation and uncertainty can be burdensome.
You up like a clock
Symbolizing the passage of time, like the ticking of a clock.
And show you what you are
Revealing one's true self during challenging times.
Show you what you are the wreckage of a tree
You are the aftermath of a destructive event, possibly representing personal struggles.
The hope for faster speeds
Expressing a desire for improvement or progress.
And the weight of all the world
Feeling the burden of the world's challenges and responsibilities.
But here we are picking flowers out for jars
In challenging times, finding joy in simple, beautiful things.
Long before the market starts
Engaging in positive activities before the chaos of the day begins.
And the bustle of the day talk to me
Amidst the noise of the world, seeking meaningful communication.
In languages we'd like to speak
Communicating in ways that resonate with personal values and desires.
In the alphabet of planted seeds
Referring to the foundational elements that will grow into something meaningful.
With the hope for what will grow
Maintaining hope for positive outcomes and growth.
It's the waiting hours that hold
Similar to line 8, reiterating the challenges of waiting and anticipation.
You up like a clock
Continuing the metaphor of time's impact on one's identity.
And show you what you are
Revealing one's true nature through the passage of time.
Show you what you are the wreckage of a tree
Reiterating the idea that personal struggles shape who we are.
The hope for faster speeds
Expressing the desire for improvement and progress.
And the weight of all the world
Feeling the weight of global challenges and responsibilities.
The weight of all the world
Repetition for emphasis on the immense burden of worldly concerns.
The weight of all the world
Reiterating the heavy weight of global responsibilities.
