i completely agree with movements; that's EXACTLY it.
for me, it makes me think of finding who you're meant to be with, or just who you're meant to be. it's like he's saying, if you knew how little time you really had to find someone or just to do the things YOU want to do, would you even try? It takes a lot to actually step up just ONE time to change your life. And it's like coming from a perspective where he's already been through it and he knows all you have to do is follow your heart, but would you, in the shade of poison trees, in the shade of lies and guilt and worry, would we actually overcome it all and ourselves, just to step up and 'follow just one desire'? or do some of us just not have enough time at all...
The poison trees kind of make me think of just that shell or that wall that people put up...like a tree, they give us shade and protection from harder decisions in life, but at the same time, they're POISON trees; they're not as good for you as you think...they're really hurting you in a way because you're not doing what you know you should be doing to change your life and choose your path.
I think this is one of the BEST songs ever written by Dashboard Confessional...it's so beautiful and asks such philosophical, frequently-asked-and-considered-but-never-answered questions that i just LOVE thinking about.
