The Trees Grew Emotions and Died
Cold Cave Lyrics

and so the trees grew,
emotions and died
and now you can't breathe.
Goodbye Oh Oh
The lyrics of Cold Cave's song "The Trees Grew Emotions and Died" can be interpreted as a metaphorical representation of how lies can poison relationships and lead to their death. The act of burying seeded lies could signify hiding the truth, while the growth of trees could represent the development of emotions and feelings in the relationship. However, the poisoning of those trees and their eventual death could symbolize the destruction of those emotions, leading to suffocation and the inability to breathe. The goodbye at the end could represent the finality of the relationship, the acceptance of its death, and the need to move on.

I buried seeded lies,
I concealed falsehoods deep inside,
and so the trees grew,
which led to the growth of trees,
emotions and died
yet, those trees withered and perished,
and now you can't breathe.
resulting in the lack of air and suffocation you feel now.
Goodbye Oh Oh
Farewell, my love.
