Garden
Rediscovering Life's Essence in My Mother's Garden
Lyrics
I just planted
I recently established a connection or rooted myself.
Both of my feet in my mothers garden
I feel a deep connection with my maternal heritage or upbringing.
I’m tired of shoes
I am weary of wearing shoes, possibly symbolizing a desire for a more grounded or natural state.
I’m tired of carpet
I am tired of artificial environments, like carpeted spaces, and yearn for authenticity.
I think I lost it
I might be losing my way or composure.
And I barely started
I have just begun a journey, and it seems challenging.
I take it for granted
I take the blessings or aspects of life in my maternal heritage for granted.
All of the things in my mothers garden
I appreciate the valuable things in my mother's garden, metaphorically referring to life's gifts.
Why in the world don’t I do this often
Expressing regret for not appreciating such moments more frequently.
I think i’ve hardened
I have become emotionally tougher or less sensitive.
I’m a little guarded
I am cautious and protective of myself.
(Little guarded, little guarded)
Reiteration of being somewhat guarded or cautious.
But if I could go back
If given the chance to revisit the past,
Change anything in my life
I wouldn't change anything in my life.
I would rearrange
I would maintain every moment spent with someone special.
Not one second of time with you
Emphasizing the importance of every second spent with a significant person.
I’m drinking water
Currently, I am engaging in a simple and essential activity – drinking water.
In a couple of days I’ll be turning thirty
Soon, I will be reaching the age of thirty.
Why do I pray when I’m only thirsty
Questioning the tendency to pray only when in need, specifically when thirsty.
When I’m dirty
Reflecting on moments of impurity or vulnerability.
Always in a hurry
Always in a rush or haste.
(Hurry, hurry, hurry)
Repetition emphasizing the theme of urgency.
Now I am attractin’
Now, I am attracting positive elements or energy, reminiscent of the positive aspects in my mother's garden.
All of the sun in my mothers garden
Uncertain about the moment of separation in the past.
Not really sure when we ever parted
Reflecting on a time when I was in a state of innocence or early development.
Kindergarten
A return to the beginning or basics, like a return to kindergarten.
Back to where we started
Going back to the starting point.
If I could go back
If given the chance to revisit the past again,
Change anything in my life
I wouldn't change anything in my life.
I would rearrange
Similar to line 15, underscoring the significance of every moment.
Not one second of time
Emphasizing the importance of not altering any moment spent with a significant person.
If I could go back
If given the chance to revisit the past once more,
Change anything in my life
I wouldn't change anything in my life.
I would rearrange
Reiteration of the decision to preserve every moment.
Not one second of time with you
Reaffirming the commitment to not alter any second spent with a special person.
