Planting the Seeds of Life
Papadosio Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Search for answers puts you in a spell
Trying times have helped you build a shell
And turned your world into a prison cell
The change we're looking for comes from inside
It takes patience and the will to try
Theres too few seeking (?)
Behind their clothes and lack external eye
Only my own heart can show me
How my mind is whats below me
Planting the seeds of life
You can change it someone told me
If you look inside your slowly
Planting the seeds of life
The present moment is a dream come true
Don't deny it you have seen it too
Ill say it again it is up to you
So tune your heart and let it speak through you
Only my own heart can show me
How my mind is whats below me
Planting the seeds of life
You can change it someone told me
If you look inside your slowly
Planting the seeds of life
I'll put all this pain behind me
I'll tell you where you can find me
Planting the seeds of life
The lyrics of Papadosio's song 'Planting the Seeds of Life' seems to be a message for people to look within themselves for answers and change. It appears to be a call to break away from the spell of external influences in the search for answers and instead look inside of themselves. The line "Trying times have helped you build a shell and turned your world into a prison cell" can be interpreted as the challenges and difficulties of life making people emotionally guarded, trapped, and unable to connect with others, making their world isolated.
The song suggests that external change cannot come without an internal change, which requires patience, willingness to make an effort and a focus on the present moment. The lyrics underscore the power of an individual in transforming their own lives and the world around them by "planting the seeds of life" within themselves. The heart, being the emotional center, is the key to unlocking one’s potential and finding solace. The lyrics mean that only by listening to one's heart can one tap into their potential and discover the meaning of the seed of life that exists within all of us, helping us find our purpose and meaning in life.
Overall, 'Planting the Seeds of Life' seems to be a message of empowerment and self-discovery, encouraging people to find their inner strength and to tap into their full potential to break free from limiting beliefs and discover their true selves.

I first discovered Papadosio just over ten years ago and I'm really amazed and delighted that when I did a YouTube search for this music that there are recordings now instead of just live music... this is brilliant! I don't live in Ohio anymore so thank you for the opportunity to enjoy this music app far away from its origin, in my heart. :) Please don't ever stop creating music, you guys! AND THANK YOU!!
