The Arcadian Wild's song Roots is all about a relationship that has been shattered like a broken heart. The lyrics describe how broken hearts are like broken earth, but from that broken earth, new life can grow. The singer wants the other person in the relationship to throw all the seeds they have sown, and he'll take them in and make them grow in the light. The lyrics suggest that it just takes time for the brokenness to be healed, and for new life to emerge.
In the second verse, the lyrics speak about how the couple has gone through a tough period, perhaps a metaphorical winter, waiting for the spring to come. And when the spring finally arrived, it brought them rain, which quenched their thirst, ended the drought, and broke the curse on the land and on the singer's hands. The singer tells the other person to put down their roots, and together, they will watch the desert bloom.
