Lehto
Suburban Tribe Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Oak, aider and pine
You all look alike
A little bit dry
Show me your tears
I'll show you mine
They look alike
A little bit dry
The song "Lehto" by Suburban Tribe is a beautifully melancholic track that delves deep into the idea of seeking solace in nature. The lyrics "Tell me your name, Oak, aider and pine, You all look alike, A little bit dry" seem to reflect the singer's search for identity and meaning within themselves. By addressing the trees, the singer is seeking a deeper understanding of the world around them and hoping to find some kind of guidance in nature. The repetition of "a little bit dry" suggests that the singer may be feeling dry and empty themselves, and is searching for something to fill the void.
The second verse, "Show me your tears, I'll show you mine, They look alike, A little bit dry" is a beautiful juxtaposition of vulnerability with the dryness the singer is feeling. By offering their own tears, the singer is showing a willingness to be open and vulnerable, and is hoping to find a connection with nature. The fact that their tears look alike to those of the trees suggests that the singer is not alone in their struggles, and that there is a shared sense of pain and emptiness that can be found in nature.
