Seeds Lyrics

I know you eat your lovers when you sense that something isn't right
I hope that's over and you're letting him go
I always wondered what your gypsy heart would feel like
I got a feeling that you're letting me know
I told your sister that you're all I ever dream of
Your sister told me that I better move slow
And then she told me things I never could've dreamed of
And then she told me things I should not have known

Rain comes down like it always does
This time, I've got seeds on ground

Lay down your lantern, coat of arms, broken drums
And dance with me

I know you got your reasons when you're keeping your defenses up
It seems to me too much, try letting them go
The hips, two feet, the misses, and we knock each other senseless, love
We come together and we start to move slow
You've got me thinking that you're all I ever need now
I think I love you and it's starting to show
And if you haven't shown me all the things I never dreamed of
I do not think that I'd be missing you so

Now we face a choice of three
One is you; the other, me
Free as air is third, you see
It's all I wanna be

Rain comes down like it always does
This time, I've got seeds on ground

Rain comes down like it always does
This time, I've got seeds on ground

Lay down your lantern, coat of arms, broken drums
And dance with me

Now we face a choice of three
One is you; the other, me
Free as air is third, you see
It's all I wanna be

Rain comes down like it always does
This time, I've got seeds on ground

Keep it true to the song

Fix what’s wrong, but don’t rewrite what the artist wrote. Stick to the official released version — album booklet, label site, verified lyric video, etc. If you’re guessing, pause and double-check.

Respect the structure

Songs have rhythm. Pages do too. Leave line breaks where they belong. Don’t smash things together or add extra empty space just for looks.

Punctuation counts (but vibe-editing doesn’t)

Correct typos? Yes. Re-punctuating a whole verse because it ‘looks better’? Probably not. Keep capitalization and punctuation close to the official source.

Don’t mix versions

If you’re editing the explicit version, keep it explicit. If it’s the clean version, keep it clean. No mashups.

Let the lyrics be lyrics

This isn’t the place for interpretations, memories, stories, or trivia — that’s what comments are for. Keep metadata, translations, and bracketed stage directions out unless they’re officially part of the song.

Edit lightly

If two lines are wrong… fix the two lines. No need to bulldoze the whole page. Think ‘surgical,’ not ‘remix.’

When in doubt, ask the crowd

Not sure what they’re singing in that fuzzy bridge? Drop a question in the comments and let the music nerds swarm. Someone always knows.

My interpretation is that this song is about a relationship that is dying for some reason or another. This is supported by the lyrics: "I told your sister that you're all I ever dream of Your sister told me that I better move slow"

The lyric: "rain comes down, like it always does, this time I've got seeds on ground" seems to indicate the writer is seeing the end of his relationship coming, and he has prepared himself for the worst.

"Lay down your lantern, coat of arms, broken drums And dance with me" In this lyric, it seems as though the writer is asking their partner to talk things over, maybe in some way trying to salvage the relationship.

The lyric: "The hips, two feet, the misses, and we knock each other senseless, love We come together and we start to move slow" seems to imply an argument has occurred between the couple, and in the calm they've come together.

"And if you haven't shown me all the things I never dreamed of I do not think that I'd be missing you so" seems to imply the writer is beginning to hate the idea of not having his significant other, right as the end of their relationship was about to happen.

"Now we face a choice of three One is you, the other, me Free as air is third, you see It's all I wanna be" is the final lyric of the song, it explores the possibilities that could come out of the situation, either they go their separate ways or stay together.

@LloydEdgar @LloydEdgar I like this. If only the person I love would express how they feel. I doubt at this point it will ever happen:(
