Garden
Blossoming Reflections: Senescence's Garden of Growth
Lyrics
You let go
You released your grip
Of skin that held you back
Let go of inhibitions or limitations
You’re cold
You are emotionally distant
A frosted window
Metaphor for a cold, distant state of mind
Held on
Clung to something
‘Cause I can’t take steps back
Unable to reverse progress
Wallowed
Indulged or immersed
In glass that you broke
Reflecting on shattered glass
Did I get what I deserved?
Questioning if consequences are deserved
In your garden you let me grow
In your space, I found room to develop
Did you reap what you’ve sown?
Did you face the consequences of your actions?
Pull the pedals and hold them close
Symbolic act of determining love's fate
Take your rope and your flowers
Possibly choices and gifts from the past
Tell me where to go
Request for guidance
Let me fly tear me down
Allow me to experience highs and lows
Then let the roots take hold
Let growth and stability coexist
Vacant homes no one owns
Unoccupied, ownerless residences
With splinters from the storm
Result of difficulties faced
Seasons change make a cycle
Changes follow a recurring pattern
From everything I know
Derived from accumulated knowledge
I can’t know what finally made it snap
Uncertain about the triggering event
So cold
Emotionally distant and detached
The rain will never pass
Persistent emotional turmoil
Did I get what I deserved?
Questioning consequences again
In your garden you let me grow
In your space, I found room to develop (repeated)
Did you reap what you’ve sown?
Did you face the consequences of your actions? (repeated)
Pull the pedals and hold them close
Symbolic act of determining love's fate (repeated)
Take your rope and your flowers
Possibly choices and gifts from the past (repeated)
Tell me where to go
Request for guidance (repeated)
Let me fly tear me down
Allow me to experience highs and lows (repeated)
Then let the roots take hold
Let growth and stability coexist (repeated)
Vacant homes no one owns
Unoccupied, ownerless residences (repeated)
With splinters from the storm
Result of difficulties faced (repeated)
Seasons change make a cycle
Changes follow a recurring pattern (repeated)
From everything I know
Derived from accumulated knowledge (repeated)
