Trees

(Karianne Gabaldon)

An abstract analogy of trees and the way a person feels. In this lyric, it talks about how trees feel truly; trees are jealous, self-hating sob stories, though no one knows how trees truly feel, somehow there’s a feeling that trees are depressed. Basically the lyric is about someone loathing themselves, wondering if the trees (someone else) are loathing themselves too so they’re not alone.

(Verse 1) 
 
The trees blow rapidly with the wind 
I wonder what they all are thinking 
Are they thinking that I’m insane 
Are they thinking I’m to blame 
 
I wonder if they feel I’ve hurt too many 
Or I’ve polluted the earth 
With my not being so friendly 
With my hazardous way to flirt  
 
(PreChorus) 
 
I don’t know what they’re thinking 
I just know I feel like I’m sinking 
The trees may think I’m unworthy  
And yeah, I kind of feel that way 
 
(Chorus) 
 
As green as jealousy 
As brown as high self-doubt 
As tall as hatred towards self 
I feel like the trees right now 
 
Blowing away but nowhere to go 
I just don’t understand them 
But they don’t understand me 
As green as jealousy 
 
(Verse 2) 
 
As the trees they get older 
They all tend to crumble down 
I feel like I’m all over 
I’ve been feeling pretty down 
 
Sometimes I just want to be chopped down 
With a lumberjack’s big axe 
I hate living with my leaf frown 
Wondering if death will be next 
 
(PreChorus) 
 
I don’t know what they’re thinking 
I just know I feel like I’m sinking 
The trees may think I’m unworthy  
And yeah, I kind of feel that way 
 
(Chorus) 
 
As green as jealousy 
As brown XX XXXX XXXXXXXXXX
