Conifer
Matt Van Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
With chia seeds and disappointment
Low on sleep and serotonin
But I was happy for a moment
Now I know you’re moving on
And this is just a pretty song
But if you have a change of mind
I’ll be searching for the signs, yeah
I’ll be singing to the pines
If you’d like to sing along
We can mend these severed ties, yeah
I have saved your lucky clover
Just in case this isn’t over
It hasn’t worked the same since we were closer
When I wasn’t afraid of growing older
And there are words you’d rather hear
But I’m still proud of you my dear, yeah
And if you have a change of mind
I’ll be searching for the signs
And while you’re dancing with the palms
I’ll be singing to the pines
And if you’d like to sing along
We can mend these severed ties
And if you have a change of heart
Please don’t leave me in the dark, no
‘Cause while you’re dancing in the sun
I’ll be singing to the stars
And if you’d like to sing along
We can take it from the start, yeah

The song starts with him describing his state of mind, which is characterized by disappointment, lack of sleep and serotonin. However, despite his current state, he remembers a moment when he was happy with his partner. The chorus is the central point of the song, where Matt professes his willingness to mend the relationship even though he knows it may be too late. He compares himself to the pines, committed to remaining steady and strong, like the love he has for his partner. He even goes ahead to say that he has kept her lucky clover, which shows that he believes in the possibility of a future with her. The song ends with him encouraging his partner not to leave him in the dark, promising that he will always be there, singing to the stars.
The lyrics of "Conifer" are open-ended, allowing listeners to interpret them in different ways. One possible explanation of the lyrics is that Matt is struggling to accept that his relationship is over, and he is trying everything he can to make it work again. He is searching for signs of hope that his partner still loves him, and he is willing to put in the effort to rebuild the relationship, even if it means starting from scratch. Alternatively, the lyrics could be interpreted as an expression of gratitude towards someone he once loved, a recognition of the impact his partner had on his life, and a desire to preserve the good memories they shared together.

I make breakfast in the morning
I start my day with a routine of making breakfast
With chia seeds and disappointment
The breakfast is healthy but I feel let down by recent happenings
Low on sleep and serotonin
I'm tired and lacking the happy hormone
But I was happy for a moment
Despite the fatigue and sadness, there was a glimmer of joy
Now I know you’re moving on
My happiness is short-lived as I've realized you're getting over me
And this is just a pretty song
The music I'm creating is solely for aesthetic purposes
But if you have a change of mind
However, if you decide to give our relationship another chance
I’ll be searching for the signs, yeah
I'll be looking for any indication of your interest
And while you’re dancing with the palms
While you're moving on and enjoying life
I’ll be singing to the pines
I'll be finding solace in nature and expressing my emotions through music
If you’d like to sing along
If you want to join me in this process
We can mend these severed ties, yeah
We can work on reconnecting despite the past hurt
I have saved your lucky clover
I've kept a symbol of luck that's associated with you
Just in case this isn’t over
In case our relationship isn't completely finished
It hasn’t worked the same since we were closer
Things haven't been as good since we were together
When I wasn’t afraid of growing older
Back when I wasn't as worried about the future
And there are words you’d rather hear
I know there are things that would make you happy
But I’m still proud of you my dear, yeah
Despite any issues, I'm still proud of who you are
And if you have a change of mind
If you decide to come back
I’ll be searching for the signs
I'll be paying attention to any indication of that change
And while you’re dancing with the palms
While you're enjoying life without me
I’ll be singing to the pines
I'll be using music as an outlet for my emotions
And if you’d like to sing along
If you want to join me in this process
We can mend these severed ties
We can work together to fix things
And if you have a change of heart
If you suddenly have a change of feelings towards me
Please don’t leave me in the dark, no
Don't keep me clueless about what's going on
‘Cause while you’re dancing in the sun
While you're enjoying life
I’ll be singing to the stars
I'll be expressing myself through art
And if you’d like to sing along
If you want to join me in this process
We can take it from the start, yeah
We can start rebuilding our relationship from the beginning
