Roots
Too Many T's Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
The forest full of fruits
The honeycomb of your youth
Towers of the truth
Shout it from the roof
Humans run free
cll the prisoners loose
The forest full of fruits
The honeycomb of your youth
Towers of the truth
Shout it from the roof
Humans run free
cll the prisoners loose
If there's beauty in movement of the moon
then lets move with it
Stay in tune with the motions n flow with it
Rotate with the phases and exhibit ape silhouettes in the shade with the brain lizard
Don't be afraid in the blaze of a rain blizzard
Cos it'll pass and after that you'll make hay with it
On the roof shouting out to the gods
Chronos in the closet got a habit on my watch
Perpetual measurements of the mortals
Opaque messages connecting through the portals
The threat of evanescence in accord with the fleeting dreams deep in the floor of a forest
Still at war tryna battle with an author's mind rattling thoughts in the corners of his orchard
This is a call for the fallen leaves of autumn
Go talk to 'em and tell 'em its all good yeah
We're talking to your roots
The forest full of fruits
The honeycomb of your youth
Towers of the truth
Shout it from the roof
Humans run free
cll the prisoners loose
In your roots
The forest full of fruits
The honeycomb of your youth
Towers of the truth
Shout it from the roof
Humans run free
cll the prisoners loose
When we die
There's either nothing or adventure
So never fear or be scared of what's invented
You can moan
cnd settle with the pain
I'd rather float with the seconds of my brain
Passin moment onto moment getting better at the game
Taking uppercut punches and success all the same
c nice change
When theirs summers in your day
Uncovering the legends that are swirling from the waves
Yeah
there's something for brave
Little whisper in the wind
You can counjure up the range and travel planets when you think
I heard the sound now I'm tipping on the brink
In awe of the beauty not fallen for kings
Never falling asleep
Terrafirma underneath
On my chest keep a rose
Cos there's treasure in the beat
I throw possessions and my medals in the deep
Return back to earth feel the dirt on my feet
In your roots
The forest full of fruits
The honeycomb of your youth
Towers of the truth
Shout it from the roof
Humans run free
cll the prisoners loose
In your roots
The forest full of fruits
The honeycomb of your youth
Towers of the truth
Shout it from the roof
Humans run free
cll the prisoners loose

The song also alludes to the power of imagination and the ability to explore new worlds within one's mind.
The final verse reinforces the importance of staying grounded and connected to the earth. The mention of terrafirma underneath signifies a strong foundation and grounding in reality. The chest is kept a rose, symbolizing the value of simplicity and finding beauty in the present moment. The act of throwing possessions and medals into the deep signifies letting go of material attachments and returning to a sense of humility. The lyrics convey a sense of appreciation for the earth and the grounding experience of feeling the dirt on one's feet.

When happiness and warmth prevail in your life
Uncovering the legends that are swirling from the waves
Discovering the timeless stories hidden in the depths of existence
Yeah, there's something for brave
There are rewards and experiences awaiting those who are courageous
Little whisper in the wind
A subtle message carried by the breeze
You can conjure up the range and travel planets when you think
Unleash your imagination and explore vast possibilities within your mind
I heard the sound now I'm tipping on the brink
Having listened to the call, I am now on the verge of a new experience
In awe of the beauty not fallen for kings
Marveling at the splendor of existence without succumbing to authority
Never falling asleep
Remaining conscious and aware
Terrafirma underneath
The solid ground beneath our feet
On my chest keep a rose
Holding a symbol of love and beauty close to my heart
Cos there's treasure in the beat
Because the rhythm contains hidden value or significance
I throw possessions and my medals in the deep
Letting go of material possessions and achievements in favor of deeper experiences
Return back to earth feel the dirt on my feet
Coming back to reality and reconnecting with the grounded aspects of life
