Organization & Classification
Willow Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Classification and organization is ruining the minds of our generation
I said it
That's why they're always staying up in the sky
They add a new design to it
But they're on their phone and I'm on a roll
And I do not care cause I am the oldest one
Up in my mind, but not in real time
I'm just a... teenager
But I feel angrier than a swarm of hornets
They call us whores but it's just because
We do what we want and don't look back once
Is that what it's come to? No, no
My parents are 1 and 2, and I am their child
I am 3, I am the wild
I am free
We are the children that sing the ancient song
And we can sing it very well
But there's still so much to learn
There's still so much to earn
But I yearn

Who am I scared
Who cut us open

Classification and organization is ruining the hearts of our generation
I said it
But actually true told me that
True made the map
True took us to the forest to the top of the mountain

It's true, it's true, it's true
He told me to get on the mic and spit what's in my lung
I tried to say, I tried to tell him
Boy I don't do that, I don't do the things that you do
But then he looked at me and said, "You do, you do"
[?] face too, went into my room at night
They tried to talk about who
And I'm like, "Let me sleep"
But they just wake me up
They just try to tell me the things I know already
In my cerebral capacity
But it's locked, why can't I get in?
Maybe I should ask him, maybe I should ask Jake
Maybe we go to a lake that I found
Maybe we go right now
And it's snowing but it's warm outside
Write a letter on the beach at night
Go to bed and then I see those lights
I see those lights, I see their eyes
Staring back at me, telling me about the symmetry
Telling me about atomic structure
The way she loves her, the way
The ocean rolls around and 'round and 'round
And 'round and 'round and 'round and 'round and 'round
And the tourist goes around and down
And down and down and down and down, it never stops
Never rock
I call it crystal, now you call it rock
I'm in the spot
You don't want to walk around on the hot coals of self acceptance
Man I get you, MSFTS here to rep yah
We'll do this together

Organization and classification is ruining the souls of our generation
We said it
And the kids know very well




And the kids will dig the well
Deep inside of their third eye and get all the messages inside

Line by Line Meaning

Classification and organization is ruining the minds of our generation
The practice of categorizing and systematizing things is adversely affecting the mentalities of the youth in this era


That's why they're always staying up in the sky
This is why people are constantly seeking distractions and avoiding reality


They add a new design to it
People try to decorate and modify this escape, but it is still detrimental


And they're on their phone and I'm on a roll
They are aimlessly scrolling through their devices while I am on a productive streak


And I do not care cause I am the oldest one
I am mature beyond my years and do not concern myself with such trivialities


Up in my mind, but not in real time
My thoughts are racing ahead, but in actuality, time has not moved much


I'm just a... teenager
Although I think deeply, I must acknowledge my age and inexperience


But I feel angrier than a swarm of hornets
My passion and fervor exceed that of a raging hive of bees


They call us whores but it's just because
People may label us unfairly, it's only because we act on our own accord


We do what we want and don't look back once
We boldly take action and move forward without hesitation or regret


Is that what it's come to? No, no
This cannot be the standard we aim for, it's not acceptable


My parents are 1 and 2, and I am their child
My guardians are my greatest influences and I am their offspring


I am 3, I am the wild
I am untamed, unpredictable, and daring like a child


We are the children that sing the ancient song
We are the young ones who carry forward the age-old wisdom and knowledge


And we can sing it very well
We understand and convey these messages with clarity and precision


But there's still so much to learn
Despite our aptitude, there is still vast knowledge that we must attain


There's still so much to earn
We have yet to achieve all that we desire and deserve in life


But I yearn
I crave and aspire for more


Classification and organization is ruining the hearts of our generation
The way we categorize and organize things is affecting the emotions and spirits of the youth


But actually true told me that
A person named True informed me of the actuality of the situation


True made the map
True provided a guide or instruction for me to follow


True took us to the forest to the top of the mountain
True led us to nature and helped us reach new heights and levels of insight


He told me to get on the mic and spit what's in my lung
He instructed me to speak my truth and reveal my innermost thoughts on this public platform


I tried to say, I tried to tell him
I attempted to express my reluctance or refusal, but to no avail


Boy I don't do that, I don't do the things that you do
I am different from you and do not share your habits or attitudes


But then he looked at me and said, "You do, you do"
He saw something in me or recognized a commonality between us


[?] face too, went into my room at night
A person with an unknown expression visited me in my chamber during the nighttime


They tried to talk about who
They attempted to discuss and analyze obscure, introspective topics


And I'm like, "Let me sleep"
I desire rest and do not want to engage in conversation or contemplation at the moment


But they just wake me up
However, they are hindering my rest and preventing me from achieving peace of mind


They just try to tell me the things I know already
Their comments or advice are redundant and do not add anything new to my knowledge


In my cerebral capacity
Within my mental faculties or capabilities


But it's locked, why can't I get in?
There is a barrier preventing access to my innermost thoughts and understanding


Maybe I should ask him, maybe I should ask Jake
Perhaps another person, such as him or Jake, may have insight or a solution to this conflict


Maybe we go to a lake that I found
It's possible we visit a lake or other location I previously discovered


Maybe we go right now
Perhaps we embark on this journey immediately, without delay


And it's snowing but it's warm outside
Despite the snowfall, the ambient temperature is mild and pleasant


Write a letter on the beach at night
We compose a message or letter while situated on the beach during nighttime


Go to bed and then I see those lights
I retire to bed and suddenly notice the presence of illuminating objects


I see those lights, I see their eyes
The lights are linked to or emanating from the eyes of a being or entity


Staring back at me, telling me about the symmetry
The entity's gaze conveys or explains concepts of symmetry or balance


Telling me about atomic structure
It imparts knowledge or insight regarding the composition and properties of atoms


The way she loves her, the way
It also speaks of some woman's affection or attachment to something


The ocean rolls around and 'round and 'round
Meanwhile, the sea continues to move in a cyclical motion


And 'round and 'round and 'round and 'round and 'round and 'round
This movement is repetitive and unending


And the tourist goes around and down
Visitors to the area may travel around and downward, following some path


And down and down and down and down, it never stops
This descent appears to be infinite and without end


Never rock
It is immovable or steadfast like a rock


I call it crystal, now you call it rock
I perceive this substance as crystal, but you may see it differently as rock


I'm in the spot
I am in a specific location or situation


You don't want to walk around on the hot coals of self acceptance
You should avoid navigating the treacherous territory of coming to terms with oneself


Man I get you, MSFTS here to rep yah
I understand and empathize with you, MSFTS are here to represent and support you


We'll do this together
We will face challenges as a united team and support one another throughout


Organization and classification is ruining the souls of our generation
The act of organizing and categorizing things is detrimentally affecting the spirits and essence of the youth


And the kids know very well
The younger generation is increasingly cognizant and aware of this negative impact


And the kids will dig the well
The youth will delve deeper and search further to uncover their hidden truths and knowledge


Deep inside of their third eye and get all the messages inside
They will explore their inner psyche and uncover all the insights and self-understanding therein
