Seed To A Tree Lyrics
As I shit, I sit and wonder why
My floor is so cold and my back broken tired
But life is good, even though it won't be long
With a candle comes emotions that
Dance with the shadows on my wall
What were you thoughts, as they
Were flying through your mind
Compared to what you feel from
The bars your now behind
If they could speak, what do you think
They would say to you?
I do believe you'd been better
Off if you'd just told the truth
Never had a problem till I stood face to face with me
And I wish there was a way for me to go inside so I could see
All the faces of the people who have torn a piece of me
As I grew from a seed to a tree
Can you feel the power of the eye
That's hidden away 5 feet from where we lie
What do you taste, when you take a drink of me
Is it to much for me to ask if I asked you to leave
Please just leave 'cause I want to be alone
There's a fine line between love and my feelings for you
High time I washed it all away
Unkind, I watch your future burn before you
Denied, a chance of any love in your life
And I ask you one time..Why?
-Chorus-
My floor is so cold and my back broken tired
But life is good, even though it won't be long
With a candle comes emotions that
Dance with the shadows on my wall
Were flying through your mind
Compared to what you feel from
The bars your now behind
They would say to you?
I do believe you'd been better
Off if you'd just told the truth
And I wish there was a way for me to go inside so I could see
All the faces of the people who have torn a piece of me
As I grew from a seed to a tree
That's hidden away 5 feet from where we lie
What do you taste, when you take a drink of me
Is it to much for me to ask if I asked you to leave
Please just leave 'cause I want to be alone
High time I washed it all away
Unkind, I watch your future burn before you
Denied, a chance of any love in your life
And I ask you one time..Why?

An awesome song about a failed relationship (probably not romantic, just friendly) where Shannon felt disrespected and hurt...and he realizes what a blessing this all was because it made him stronger. The lyrics are great, but the chorus is awesome.
Never had a problem till I stood face to face with me And I wish there was a way for me to go inside so I could see All the faces of the people who have torn a piece of me As I grew from a seed to a tree
Great lyrics Great Band Great Song
---I think this song is him thinking back on his life.
---When he was young he had a lot of run in's with the police and was arrested several times.
"What were you thoughts, as they Were flying through your mind Compared to what you feel from The bars your now behind
If they could speak, what do you think They would say to you? I do believe you'd been better Off if you'd just told the truth"
---He's asking himself this.
"Never had a problem till I stood face to face with me And I wish there was a way for me to go inside so I could see All the faces of the people who have torn a piece of me As I grew from a seed to a tree."
--This is also his conflict with himself (as interpreted from the first line) And he's also thinking of all the people who he has conflicted with as he was growing up (from a seed to a tree)
---Well, that's what I get from the first half of the song. I hope other people can see what I'm getting at.
I've always heard the first verse like this:
As I shit I sit and wonder why my floor's so cold in my bathrobe attire It feels good, even though it won't be long When the chemical emotions dance with the shadows on my wall
Makes me think he's preparing for the onset of some psychedelic, taking a pre-trip shit :D
I believe this song is all about his insecurities in life. Simply put, he was bullied as a child, and never had any confidence. And the chorus speaks volumes towards this. Now, as an adult, he blames all of those that made him what he is today. Insecure and feeling unworthy. He somehow wishes they could somehow see how they had a part in his downfall. That is it.
amazing the end
