Green Heart Lyrics
Moth, rust, destroy all that you've built
Thieves break in and steal your green heart
My red heart turns white as snow
Every new dawn yours could would you know
All you own is gonna burn
Oh, oh, oh, oh, oh
Let's lose it all
Buy something beautiful
What next will you sell?
Peace while you sleep
Small green heart
Engraved on a dollar bill
Tell me could it build a whole universe
Can it speak or answer your prayers like you hope it will
Let's lose it all
Buy something beautiful
What next will you sell?
Peace while you sleep
All you own is gonna burn
Oh, oh, oh, oh, oh
You're not just a body of flesh, bones and blood
You are alive, you're his precious child
And your soul will forever live on
Will forever live on
Thieves break in and steal your green heart
My red heart turns white as snow
Every new dawn yours could would you know
Buy something beautiful
What next will you sell?
Peace while you sleep
Engraved on a dollar bill
Tell me could it build a whole universe
Can it speak or answer your prayers like you hope it will
Buy something beautiful
What next will you sell?
Peace while you sleep
You are alive, you're his precious child
And your soul will forever live on

The first paragraph is full of Biblical references... the do not store up your treasures thing, forgiveness as washing your bleeding heart white as snow.
The song seems very clearly to be about the nature of greed.
I think the song overall is more about that materials/wealth/consumerism are all worthless in the end because they will fade away and don't last forever, but you do.

& that those things are not the answer & you can't buy peace, and to remember that you are a soul/spirit--eternal.

..........These Lyrics ? This Song ? AMAZING d(^.^)b ♰ ♬ ♪ ♩ ♫ ♪
I think it's about how much we rely on money and build so many buildings that'll just fall over froma ge and they won't matter then. It's about how God is more important then money because we live in a world where money is a focus and you must have it. Even if you do or don't have money you're Gods precious child and that no matter how much money you have or don't have you'll always have God and it won't fly away like monet tends to do.

exuse my spelling.
for me it`s about how people tend to focus on things that become absolutely unimportant when u compare them with smth truly significant like being what God created u for. the song always gives me shivers :)
Love this song, but I think the first two words are 'moth rust,' that's what the bible verse is.
