Poor Old Lu - The Weeds That Grow Around My Feet songtekst

Je score:


'Weeds' actually sprung out of a song written by Jesse. Although the chords and tempo were changed slightly, the general feel of the song remains the same. As we finished writing the song in studio, I had an incredibly difficult time writing lyrics, or maybe I had difficulty being comfortable with what I had already written. In any case, this song has grown on me over the years more than any other song.



The theme of this song runs pretty deep. 'The Weeds That Grow Around My Feet' of course deals with someone standing in one place for too long, so that the weeds begin to grow around them. Specifically, this song deals with being stuck in a rut of sin. Often times we get caught in a sinful situation, but if left unchecked that sin begins to grow and pull us down. Over time, the sin is our comfort ("do I love this world?, can I breathe beyond here?"). Recognizing that we are caught in a rut of sin is so important, but we need to bring it before the Lord. It's also imperative that we get accountability with a friend or pastor. Our God is the God of freedom, and He hates to see us bound by anything of this world. Amen. 





choices cloud my head again

wrapped up in myself instead

and if I fall this time

will it be the last time

for this crime



and anger has more of my soul

than I ever wished it would hold

and as I let it go

and watch how it grows

it won't fold



do I love this world?

can I breathe beyond here?



flowers have grown round my eyes and ears

the soil it soaks all my tears

how I'm tired of standing here

and I'm sick of that heat that's so near



and if we're all right

and if we cannot be wrong

then we needn't fear

we're almost there

like I'm depressed and I hold a gun



do I love this world?

can I breathe beyond here?



it's all the same

just falling rain

all the more the reason to stay

what is the scene

it's brown and green

the weeds that grow around my feet



and if we're all right

and if we cannot be wrong

then we needn't fear

we're almost there
