Roots
Martin Zarzar Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Is one side of the tale
Take what you will
And weigh it on your scale
Well it won′t be long now
There is no way to contain it
No it won't be long now
Philosophy
With no humanity
Is just a game
To feed our vanity
Well it won′t be long now
There is no way to contain it
No it won't be long now
Roots are breaking through the pavement
Now it won't be long
Won′t be long
And it won′t be long
Won't be long
No it won′t be long now
Roots are breaking through the pavement
The song Roots by Martin Zarzar is a commentary on the importance of paying attention to the roots of our experiences and beliefs. The lyrics suggest that there are multiple sides to every story and that it is important to consider different perspectives and weigh them against each other. The line "Roots are breaking through the pavement" serves as a metaphor for the raw truths that cannot be contained or ignored.
Zarzar also touches on the idea that philosophy without humanity is pointless and serves only to feed our own egos. The repetition of the phrase "it won't be long now" suggests a sense of urgency and a need to pay attention to what is happening underneath the surface, to the roots that are pushing through the pavement and demanding to be seen.
Overall, Roots is a powerful and evocative song that encourages its listeners to think deeply about their own experiences and to be open to different perspectives. It suggests that by paying attention to our roots and the roots of those around us, we can gain a deeper understanding of the world and ourselves.

Martin wrote this as a mediation. Close your eyes, take a deep breath, exhale slowly and let your sprit soar...My meditation group has used the symbol of a flower breaking through concrete for many decades- when I heard this all I could was smile. The Z scored again...
