Hebronix Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Think I may have had enough
She's the steam I'm running off
She's the dream I'm dreaming of
Oh my God, what's going on
Had 'em beaten for so long
And the wheat(?) inside the trees
Oh my God, what's going on
Every leaf is growing strong
Every tree is holding on
Even the sorrow, even the sorrow not so strong
*lyrics subject to change*
In the first two lines of the song, the singer is describing a feeling of being worn out and overwhelmed. They feel like they've had enough and can't keep going at the pace they've been maintaining. However, they then introduce a person who seems to be their source of strength - they refer to this person as "the steam I'm running off" and "the dream I'm dreaming of." This suggests that this person is not only a source of support, but also someone who inspires them to keep going and pursue their dreams.
The next lines of the song introduce a sense of confusion - the singer asks "Oh my God, what's going on?" and describes feeling like they've been beaten down for a long time. However, they also describe the natural world around them - specifically mentioning wheat and trees. The wheat inside the trees could be interpreted as a metaphor for hidden potential, the idea that even in a place where growth may not be obvious at first glance, there is still potential for something beautiful to grow. The singer also acknowledges that there may be more to the situation than meets the eye, saying that it's "tangled more than eyes can see."
The next set of lines returns to the sense of confusion, with the singer again asking "Oh my God, what's going on?" However, the tone seems to shift to one of optimism as they describe the growth happening all around them - "every leaf is growing strong" and "every tree is holding on." Even the sorrow, which was previously described as overwhelming, now seems to have less power over them. These lyrics suggest that even when things seem difficult or confusing, growth and change are still possible.
