about
"Weeds" is an off-beat, dark, piano and vocal-driven track featuring timpani and an acoustic-industrial shift at the 2min mark. It reflects how humans are destroying the earth with overpopulation and industrialisation.
lyrics
A weed is just a tree
That creeps among the green
In places we don't want
Like a leaf it tethers
A seed to a dweller
It weaves between the soil
A weed is but a pest
An undesired guest
A healthy home's invader
It starves the sitting water
Competes with leaves and clovers
Turns its stem to beige
Weeds are to the garden
As people are to earth
They give and take in measure
Destroy and rebirth
We overgrow our cities
And undercut our worth
Weeds are to the garden
As people are to earth
Our planet is pristine
Its hands are emerald green
The foolish forget to care
It opens up the sky
Is broken and alive
Defends us and expands
We are but a pest
An undesired guest
A healthy home's invader
We starve the sitting water
Compete with seas and clovers
Turn the lands to haze
Weeds are to the garden
As people are to earth
They give and take in measure
Destroy and rebirth
We overgrow our cities
And undercut our worth
Weeds are to the garden
As people are to earth
Weeds are to the garden
As people are to earth
Maybe we take more than we give
How do we keep it all living?
Maybe we take more than we give
How do we keep it all living?
Maybe we take more than we give
Got to keep it turning
When are we going to realise
It's burning
Weeds are to the garden
As people are to earth
They give and take in measure
Destroy and rebirth
We overgrow our cities
And undercut our worth
Weeds are to the garden
As people are to earth
