Seed
Paloalto Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

This is taking low
My thoughts run deep
It cracks my bones
It shakes my teeth
With it my skin
Pulls from here
Right out of this
It looks like rain
It tastes like steel
It goes so slow
I don't know if it's real
It shapes like fire
It burns right in that place

Carry that seed
Carry that seed
Carry that seed

The seed's a mental thief
Who's cracking up
And brings my face
A holy grin
And ties it down
Within those souls
I'm looking for this hiding place
I'm hanging on to this course
Let me

Carry that seed
Carry that seed
Carry that seed

Carry that seed
Carry that seed
Carry that seed




carry that seed
carry that seed
