The Tree
Raein Lyrics

Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴

Tree,
Tree placed by the sea
An oniric vision you gave to me
Are you real or just a dream?
You jide the clouds of my destiny
My little sister is carving her name in your bark
Stepped by the rain
Her first love she gives to you

Keep it like a treasure until it's through
Feelings of peace you infused into me
But I've seen the end of this dream

Bearer of joy and prosperity
Bearer of the slipknot you are for me

Overall Meaning

In Raein's song "The Tree," the singer describes an ethereal vision of a tree that has been placed by the sea. They are uncertain whether this tree is real or just a product of their imagination. Despite this uncertainty, the tree has a profound impact on the singer; they describe feeling infused with feelings of peace and joy. The singer's little sister carves her name into the tree, symbolically leaving behind her first love as a treasure.

However, the singer's dream eventually ends, and they come to see the tree as a bearer of both joy and pain. They describe the tree as both a bearer of prosperity and a "slipknot," suggesting that it has the power to ensnare and trap them. It is unclear whether this is meant to be a metaphor for something larger or if it is simply a reflection of the singer's personal experiences.

One possible interpretation of the song is that the tree represents a relationship or a sense of rootedness. The singer is drawn to the tree because it provides them with a sense of peace and stability. However, as they continue to interact with the tree, they come to see that it has both positive and negative aspects. It brings them joy but also traps them in its grasp, much like a complex relationship or a sense of attachment to a particular place or person.
