Dry
Reviving Life: Embracing Hope Amidst Desolation
Lyrics
I found a tree that's dying
Discovery of a dying tree in the field behind the speaker's house.
In the field behind my house
Location description of the dying tree.
All the leaves are turning brown
Observation of the leaves turning brown on the dying tree.
And all the wood is wearing out
Noticing the deterioration of the wood in the dying tree.
So I try to fix it
Attempt to fix the dying tree.
But it's only getting worse
Realization that the situation is worsening despite efforts.
I guess watering won't help a tree
Recognition that watering may not help a tree lacking thirst.
That doesn't have a thirst
Commentary on the futility of providing help when it's not needed.
Oh, I feel so dry
Expression of personal emotional dryness and fatigue.
So tired
Further emphasis on emotional exhaustion.
Well, it's a good thing you bring dry bones back to life
Acknowledgment that reviving dry bones is a positive thing.
Well, everyone is angry
Observation that everyone is angry.
And I feel like it's good
Positive perspective on the anger, seeing it as a potential force for change.
Cuz it seems like almost nothing here
Comment on the dysfunctionality of things in the speaker's environment.
Is working like it should
Belief that things are not working as they should.
And sometimes I feel sorry
Admission of feeling sorry at times.
So I find someone to blame
Tendency to find someone to blame for difficulties.
But it's so hard to live and die for things
Challenge of living and dying for things that don't change.
That never seem to change
Reflection on the difficulty of commitment to unchanging circumstances.
Oh, I feel so dry
Reiteration of personal emotional dryness and fatigue.
So tired
Re-emphasis on emotional exhaustion.
Well, it's a good thing you bring dry bones back to life
Reiteration of the positive aspect of bringing dry bones back to life.
Well, I found a rosebush in the woods behind the school
Discovery of a rosebush in the woods behind the school.
Nobody had watered it but it was still in bloom
Noticing that the rosebush is still in bloom despite lack of care.
And it's so hard to trust that things will grow
Expressing difficulty in trusting that things will grow.
And harder still to die
Highlighting the challenge of accepting death.
But I know that you bring dry bones back to life
Acknowledgment that bringing dry bones back to life is possible.
And it's a good thing you bring dry bones back to life
Reiteration of the positive aspect of reviving dry bones.
Oh, I feel so dry
Repetition of personal emotional dryness and fatigue.
So tired
Reiteration of emotional exhaustion.
And I know to live forever means I'm gonna have to die
Acknowledgment that living forever requires experiencing death.
So it's a good thing you bring dry bones back to life
Final emphasis on the positive aspect of bringing dry bones back to life.
