about

This song is about being accepted for who we are.
It's about the need of being loved.
And about the hold our weakness have on us.

lyrics

[COUPLET]
I wanna be a tree and a home
I wanna be a tree my woes with it
I wanna be a tree and a home
I wanna be a tree instead of me
Instead of me
I wanna be a tree
I wanna be a tree

I wanna be the seed of our home
I wanna be this seed if I’m not rotten
I wanna the sap of our love
I wanna be those things
But I’m a wreck
But I’m a wreck
I wanna be a tree, a tree

[REFRAIN]
But if couldn’t be the tree
Will you come home?
The roots dying next to me
A trap is born
The laugh give up for the wind
This shining home
Is a toxic hope for me

[COUPLET]
I wanna be the tree, the one special
I wanna bud in pain so i’ll be blessed
I want to feel my body bloom and grow
I’d like to be rare but I’m a wreck
Without shape
I wanna be a tree, a living tree

[REFRAIN]
But if couldn’t be the tree
Will you come home?
The roots dying next to me
A trap is born
The laugh give up for the wind
This shining home
Is a toxic hope for me

[OUTRO]
I’ll keep singing those things
Looking down to my feet
Nothing is listening, it’s fine to me
But I’m still not a tree
And I’ll never be home
I’m lost in the world
I am, I am
A worm
