Cover art for We Were Sparkling lyrics by My Brightest Diamond

my interpretation of this song is the deforestation in the world..the speaker's personal experience of the many lovable moments she spent in a forest, particularly remembering this one tree by the river...if you notice she states "there used to be a tree" meaning it's not there anymore..she is then saying she fears loosing the attachment she once felt with nature...
