Cover art for The Greener Grass lyrics by Fair to Midland

"You can still find me Between devils and deep blue seas In the desert's hands On a sheet of sand A dry tidal wave Over my feet of clay On unfinished glass Looking for greener grass"

This bridge is so touching, especially how it's sandwiched between the soaring "yeah"s. To me, it speaks to how the afflicted speaker in the song is stuck in a type of personal hell, unable to get out and get free to a normal life. The speaker is unable to find greener grass, which speaks immensely to his station in life. We always hear the grass is "greener on the other side." He is still "Looking for greener grass" - his life is so miserable that he can't even find greener grass with which to compare his life.
