Trapped in a shell my intention is strong
With a mouthful of water I can break through a stone
Carried on a dove I have dropped from the sky
Now the ground is above and my goal is set high
Reach out with a kiss from my mother
Reach out just to smile at my father
Straight like a wand my magic is simple
Sensing your laughter the breeze makes me nimble
My colors displayed I am ready to travel
On the back of a bee all my children unravel
After reading this interview about his new album Spark and his songwriting in general, I think that this song is written about a flower and its cycle of life:
"We (the band Eleven) tried to be simple like a poem, whether it was in tone form or from a different perspective, like the perspective of a flower or a plant and what's that like, for example the impulse of reaching toward the sun while carried on the back of a bee."
The other images that seemed confusing now make sense too: The plant gains the energy to break out of its core and grow towards the sun. "kiss from my mother": Mother Earth nourishing the flower "smile at my father": the flower growing towards the sky (which fertilizes the ground with rain)/or God "My colors displayed": the flower in full bloom "On the back of a bee...": The bees transport the pollen, and thereby the cycle begins anew
Interesting how one small change of perspective can make all the pieces fall into place...
