Lyrics
I followed the lines on my palm
I navigated my life based on the paths indicated by the lines on my palm.
I followed them but they were all wrong
Despite following those paths, they turned out to be incorrect.
You want to have but not keep
You desire to experience things but not commit or hold onto them.
Try as I might, I still dream
Even with my best efforts, I still have unfulfilled dreams.
Once there was a garden and fruit plump with lust
In the past, there was a flourishing garden symbolizing desire, but everything has now turned to dust.
But everythings ground to dust
All aspects of life seem to have crumbled.
For crying out loud
An expression of frustration or exasperation.
I got nothing here to show for
I have nothing tangible or significant to display or show for.
I'm caught in the brambles without cure
I am entangled in difficulties without a solution.
The anemone is growing back
A flower called anemone is regrowing, possibly representing resilience.
Drinking deep from the brackish spring
Taking nourishment from a stagnant or unpleasant source.
You treat me like your bird, your bird, your bird who sings
You treat me as if I am your singing bird, a metaphor for a source of joy.
So tell me just one thing
Asking for clarification or an answer to a specific question.
Who is it that you're waiting on
Questioning who the person is waiting for.
Who am I to be dragged along
Expressing uncertainty about one's role or purpose in the waiting situation.
I guess I'll just keep hanging on
Despite uncertainties, I will persist and hold on.
'Til you find the one
Enduring until you find the person you are searching for.
I've been looking for a well that's running dry
Searching for something fulfilling but finding emptiness.
Can you hear the bells ring?
A metaphorical question about awareness or understanding.
You treat me like your bird, your bird, your bird who sings
Repetition of the metaphor about being treated like a singing bird.
So tell me just one thing
Reiterating the request for a clear answer or information.
