Dead Plants
Forgiving Dead Dreams: Struggles of Honesty and Unrealized Desires
Lyrics
Does it ever get hard
Reflecting on the difficulty of expressing oneself truthfully.
Saying things that you don't mean
Acknowledging the challenge of saying things one doesn't truly mean.
You don't have to be honest
Suggesting that honesty is not obligatory in communication.
And I know you're being modest
Acknowledging the other person's humility or modesty.
Cuz you know it does for me
Expressing awareness that being insincere is emotionally taxing.
So let's get all dressed up
Proposing a scenario of dressing up and escaping.
And maybe we'll just run
Suggesting the idea of running away together.
To the end
Referencing a journey to the end, possibly metaphorical.
And I'll pretend to be
Indicating a willingness to pretend for the sake of the relationship.
Everything I wanted you to see
Desiring to show a curated version of oneself.
So I'll go back to the beginning
Contemplating a return to the start of a relationship.
The holes that we'll be digging
Anticipating challenges and problems in the relationship.
For dead plants and broken dreams
Mentioning the difficulties symbolized by "dead plants and broken dreams."
So won't you forgive me
Seeking forgiveness for past actions or mistakes.
I've never been any good at getting sleep
Admitting difficulty in getting adequate sleep, possibly due to emotional unrest.
Cuz there's no room in my bed when it's just for me
Highlighting the loneliness experienced in bed.
And I overwater plants that I won't keep
Metaphorically overwatering plants represents excessive care for things not worth keeping.
Cuz I've never really been someone to let things be
Expressing a tendency to interfere rather than letting things unfold naturally.
So I'll go back to the beginning
Reiterating the idea of returning to the beginning of a relationship.
The holes that I'll be digging
Anticipating more challenges and difficulties in the renewed relationship.
For dead plants and broken dreams
Revisiting the symbolism of "dead plants and broken dreams."
So won't you forgive me
Repeating the plea for forgiveness.
Forgive me please
Continuing to seek forgiveness.
So I'll go back to the beginning the holes that we'll be digging
Repeating the idea of returning to the beginning and anticipating challenges.
Back to the beginning the holes that I'll be digging
Reiterating the idea of returning to the start, possibly with a personal perspective.
Back to the beginning the holes that I'll be digging for dead plants
Emphasizing the repetitive nature of returning to the beginning and the challenges faced.
