Rootless
Marina and The Diamonds/Marina And The Diamonds - http:/www.2.dlera.com Lyrics

I'm a cloud drifting by
I feel aimless, like a cloud wandering with no direction.

Dripping tears from the sky
I feel sad and emotional, like the rain pouring from the sky.

I'm a snail without a shell
I feel exposed and vulnerable, like a snail without its protective shell.

A leper with a golden bell
I feel like an outcast, undeserving of the beautiful things in life.

I've got nowhere to do
I feel lost and helpless, without a purpose or plan.

I'm a stray cat on the roam
I feel like an independent wanderer, not tied down to any particular home or place.

Choking on a chicken bone
I feel like I'm struggling and can't quite catch a break, represented by choking on something trivial like a chicken bone.

For a home sweet, no sweet home
I desire a place to call home, but the reality is that I am without one.

For a root, for a leaf, for a branch, for a tree
I long for a sense of stability, represented by the natural imagery of rooting and growing.

But there's somebody that reminded them of me
Someone or something has reminded me of this sense of stability, leaving me wanting it even more.

Running with my roots pulled up
I am running away from stability and the roots that come with it, possibly out of fear or uncertainty.

Caught me cold so they could cut what there was left of love
Someone has hurt me emotionally, leaving me feeling like love has been taken away from me.

I'm rootless
Overall, I feel unmoored and adrift, without a sense of belonging or foundation.

Work your fingers to the bone, building castles out of snow
I find myself putting in immense effort into things that ultimately don't last, like building a snow castle that will eventually melt away.

I'm a nomad walking on, humming to the same old song
I continue to feel like a wanderer, never really settling down, but also stuck in a repetitive cycle of the same things.

Lower case society, in touch with no community
I feel disconnected from society and the people around me, like I'm living in a smaller, lowercase version of the world.

A kingdom without a king, with no sense of belonging
I am without a place of power or importance in this world, and I struggle to feel like I belong anywhere.

Jagged roots through the snow, for a home sweet and no sweet home
I am searching for a sense of stability, even in rough, uneven places like the snow, but still feel like I am without a true home.

I've got nowhere to go, I'm rootless
In the end, I still feel lost, uncertain, and without a sense of purpose or direction.
