Roots
The Melodic Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Roots aren't something you lay
But something you take on your way
And I know mine, yes I know mine

Roots can be found everyday
Shaping force in the words that you say
And I've grown mine, yes I've grown mine
Peace of mind, peace of mind
So hard to find
So hard to find
So hard to find
So hard to find

Peace of mind, peace of mind
So hard to find
So hard to find
So hard to find
But I've grown mine

Roots aren't something you lay
But something you take on your way
And I know mine, yes I know mine

Roots can be found everyday




Shaping force in the words that you say
And I've grown mine, yes I've grown mine

Overall Meaning

The Melodic's song "Roots" is a beautiful and introspective meditation on finding one's place in the world and cultivating a sense of peace within oneself. The lyrics emphasize the idea that roots are not something that can be simply laid out, but rather they are something that we must take with us on our journey through life. Our roots are formed through our experiences and the people we meet along the way, and they shape the way we think and act in the world.


The opening lines of the song set the tone for this idea, stating "Roots aren't something you lay, but something you take on your way." This line is a powerful reminder that we are all in control of our own destiny and that we must be proactive in creating the life we want for ourselves. The chorus of the song emphasizes the difficulty of finding inner peace in a world that can be chaotic and stressful, but also points to the fact that it is possible to find that peace within oneself. The repeated refrain of "peace of mind, so hard to find" underscores the struggle that many of us face in our daily lives, but the final line, "but I've grown mine," is a hopeful reminder that, with time and effort, it is possible to find that sense of tranquility that we all crave.


Overall, "Roots" is a poignant and beautifully written song that encourages us to reflect on our own journeys through life and the ways in which we can find a sense of inner peace and belonging amidst the chaos.
