Lyrics
You're a show, that comes on when I sleep
You represent a spectacle or experience that occurs in the speaker's dreams.
When I close my eyes
These experiences manifest when the speaker closes their eyes.
I'm just helping good things grow
The speaker sees themselves as a force contributing to the growth of positive things.
Once a dog strayed inside my yard
A real or metaphorical dog left an imprint in the speaker's life.
Left in the wet dirt the impression of your paw
The dog's paw left a mark in the wet soil, symbolizing an impact or influence.
At least that's what I thought it was a dog
Uncertainty about the nature of the influence, whether positive or negative.
You were sown, watered when you were dry
You, the subject, were planted and nourished during a challenging period.
You were just a seed
The subject began as a seed, representing potential or beginnings.
I was helping good things grow
The speaker played a role in fostering positive development.
Now you're gone, I know what you were
The subject is no longer present, revealing their true nature or identity.
Not dream or seed or animal
The subject is clarified as not a dream, seed, or animal.
You turned out to be a girl
The subject is revealed to be a girl, challenging initial perceptions.
At least that's what I think you were a girl
Uncertainty remains about the subject's identity.
I don't have room for this big hole
The speaker acknowledges a significant emptiness or void.
It moves from wall to wall letting in cold
This void disrupts the speaker's environment, causing discomfort.
What more can something need to grow
A reflection on the essential elements required for growth.
Provided food and shelter and got back sorrow
Despite providing necessities, growth can lead to sorrow or negative outcomes.
