Palm Trees
Lowell Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
I can't find something to realize
Waiting for a message for me
But you were always one step behind
You were always one step behind
You were always one step behind for me
Waiting for the palm trees
Baby, are you good, though?
I don't know; I barely even know you
Maybe I'm a sucker for love
But you were always one step behind
You were always one step behind
You were always one step behind for me
Waiting for a palm tree
Waiting for a palm tree
Waiting for a palm tree
Sunshine, all my good times
I'll run to you
When you kiss my lips I'm golden
If I run into you
Your winter lullaby
Waiting for a palm tree
Sunshine, all my good times
I'll run to you
When you kiss my lips I'm golden
Falling into you
Your winter lullaby
Waiting for a palm tree
Waiting for a palm tree
Waiting for a palm tree
In "Palm Trees," Lowell sings about feeling disconnected and waiting for a message or a sign of some sort. She is looking out the window and trying to find something to realize, but is unable to do so. She questions if her love interest is good and admits to being a sucker for love, but at the same time, feels that this person is always one step behind her. The repetition of the line, "Waiting for a palm tree" could represent a desire for a symbol of hope or a new beginning. Lowell seems to be yearning for something to change or for someone to come into her life and bring her a sense of clarity.
The line, "Your winter lullaby" in the second verse, could signify a period of sadness or emptiness that the singer is going through. The contrast between winter and sunshine could represent the difference between the singer's current state and a happier future. However, the singer is still waiting for a palm tree, which is often seen as a symbol of vacation, escape, and relaxation. This could suggest the singer's desire to escape her current reality and find comfort in a different environment.
Overall, "Palm Trees" is a heartfelt and relatable song about feeling lost and searching for something to hold onto. The repeated line "Waiting for a palm tree" adds a sense of longing and anticipation to the song, while the contrast between winter and sunshine represents the singer's emotional journey.
