Evergreen Lyrics
With a man who bars no holds
Rock and a hard place
He's battering control
What am I waiting for?
Feet planted beneath
My compass, my transport
I strongly believe that this song is about feeling stuck in the current situation in, primarily your environment and your day-to-day life. It could be that the city or town that you’re from is feeling old to you, and you feel as if you need a change of scenery to grow out of the monotony to grow as an individual and see what else is out there for you. On the other hand, this could be other situations where you feel trapped, like outgrowing friendships, relationships, family, etc.
“Locked in a stalemate, with a man who bars no holds”
This person is feeling trapped. They have the urge to get out of the situation they’re in, and they feel empowered but conflicted. The thing is, nothing is holding them back. While they feel trapped, they acknowledge that they have the emotional means to get out and nothing will hold them back.
“Rock and a hard place, he’s battering control”
This person wants to move away and can see that the grass may be greener, but it is always easier said than done. They are weighing their options - they could get out and start anew, but will have to leave everything behind. Their friends, family, work, everything they know and hold close.
“What am I waiting for? Feet planet beneath”
This person is in the process of weighing their options, and comes to the realization that they should stop their internal conflict and just go. Their feet are already planted forward and ready to take the next steps.
“My compass my transport”
They trust their instincts. Their gut feeling. Their compass. It’s telling them to go.
