Daisy
Jo Nash Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
And she fell to her knees to pick the stem.
The daisy looked pretend in a garden of weeds.
He was the gardener here, the one who cared
If marigolds and lilacs would be found
But now he's the one under the ground.
Beauty hides in places
To change the faces of the known
To get a good view
Of what's been overgrown
She looks out the window, wondering where the leaves go
When they fall every winter and grow back each year
But she finally sees what he carved in the tree
A heart with writing inside,
Emmett and Daisy, forever, for life.
Beauty hides in places
To change the faces of the known
It shines a light through
To get a good view
Of what's been overgrown
She spent his last days worrying about things that don't matter
While he stared at the sun after living a life in shadow
He tried to make her understand that everything doesn't have a plan and held out his hand to let her know.
Beauty hides in places
To change the faces of the known
It shines a light through
To get a good view
Of what's been overgrown.
The song "Daisy" by Jo Nash tells a poignant story of a woman who only realizes the beauty and meaning of life after the death of her loved one. The opening lines describe the woman picking a daisy in a garden full of weeds, and the contrast between the delicate flower and the surrounding chaos emphasizes how beauty can often be understated and hidden in unexpected places. The woman is no longer concerned with the superficial aspects of life and is now seeking deeper meaning and understanding.
The lyrics also reveal the love story between the woman and a man named Emmett, who has now passed away. In the second verse, the woman discovers a heart with the inscription "Emmett and Daisy, forever, for life" carved into a tree. This moment represents her realization of the importance of their love and how it will live on even though her partner is gone. The song emphasizes that beauty is not just on the surface, it can be discovered in the deepest and most meaningful connections we make in life.
The chorus repeats the message that beauty is not always immediately apparent, it can be found in unexpected places, and new perspectives can shine a light on what has been overgrown or overlooked. The final lines of the song reveal that the woman spent too much time worrying about trivial things while Emmett, in his final days, was focused on the beauty of the world around him. He tried to impart this lesson to Daisy and show her how to find the beauty in life.
Overall, "Daisy" by Jo Nash is a moving song with a message that many of us can relate to. It reminds us to slow down, appreciate the world around us, and cherish the deep connections we make in life.
