Generosity Lyrics
Remember we held you
Our bodies pressed against you
We required nothing more than what you'd provided for
The rings, they tell me
How sickness befell thee
And all the wrongs we dealt thee
In spite of your generosity
It was all of my energy
More than I wanted to give
I am empty
I won't give more
Am I still invited to stay?
I've worn my welcome
There was more before I came
We've eaten unrestrained
But now these green fruits will remain sour
These clouds we've made cannot make rain
I gave you all of my energy
And you took it without thanks
You once showed such promise
But now I won't give more
I won't give more
(We just want more)
Our bodies pressed against you
We required nothing more than what you'd provided for
The rings, they tell me
How sickness befell thee
And all the wrongs we dealt thee
In spite of your generosity
More than I wanted to give
I am empty
I won't give more
I've worn my welcome
There was more before I came
We've eaten unrestrained
But now these green fruits will remain sour
These clouds we've made cannot make rain
And you took it without thanks
You once showed such promise
But now I won't give more
(We just want more)

We've eaten unrestrained, but now these green fruits will remain sour. (i think)
you're right. :)
you're right. :)
I feel like this is kind of a simple interpretation, but could this be about how we as people have mistreated the planet?
The rings, they tell me How sickness befell thee
The rings, they tell me How sickness befell thee
The rings on a tree tell about its growth/health during a given year. Maybe?

This song kills.
Maybe my number one favourite from this album. The instruments rock. correction *how sickness befell THEE
The end of a relationship, that was once beautiful, then "remained sour" "I gave you all my energy/ and you took it without thanks" I can completely relate to this, almost exactly; giving someone every fiber of energy until I was dried out. Instrumentals rock on this song.
