Weeds
Perfect Thyroid Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Come weeds that heal up the Earth
Down from the clouds comes the pouring rain
With which we heal ourselves of pain
Now if the parking lot had a will of its own
I'm sure that it would find a way
But it's the weeds that are sure, their intentions are pure
So smash it up
Break that pavement
Let the healing begin
Kick your car
Break your T.V.
But be good to yourself
Now if the rain could do it, it would wash your troubles free
But we all got pain so deep sometimes the rain cannot get in
But you see, the rain, it brings the weeds
So dig in, remember your pain
Give your tears back to the earth and resolve your pain
Heal up that hurt
Drink rain water
Let the healing begin
Eat those weeds and let your tears fall
You gotta be good to your self
So smash it up
Break that pavement
Let the healing begin
Kick your car
Break your T.V.
But be good to yourself
The lyrics to Perfect Thyroid's song Weeds are an ode to the healing power of nature and a call to action to break free from the constraints of modern society and find solace in the natural world. The first two lines set the scene with an image of weeds growing up from the cracks in a parking lot, symbolic of the resilience of nature even in the face of urbanization and destruction. The next two lines introduce the idea of rain as a natural source of healing, both for the Earth and for ourselves.
The chorus then urges listeners to take action and break free from the constraints of modern society, to "smash it up" and "break that pavement" as a way of reclaiming our connection to nature and our own inner selves. It's a call to reject the mindless consumption and distraction of modern life and instead prioritize our own mental and emotional well-being.
The second verse expands on this theme by acknowledging that sometimes our pain is too deep for external forces to just wash away, but that if we dig deep and confront our pain head-on, we can find healing and resolution. The final chorus repeats the call to action and reminds us to take care of ourselves as we do so.
Overall, the lyrics to Weeds are a powerful reminder of the healing power of nature and the importance of reconnecting with the natural world in order to find emotional and mental well-being.
