Plant Life

Owl City

Transposer:

I saw a ghost on the stairs And sheets on the tables and chairs The silverware swam with the sharks in the sink Even so I don’t know what to think I’ve been longing for Daisies to push through the floor And I wish plant life would grow all around me So I won’t feel dead anymore So I won’t feel dead anymore I saw a bear in the den Reading my textbooks again That bats flowed like traffic as they poured from the attic Heaven knows I could really use a friend I’d rather waltz than just walk through the forest The trees keep the tempo and they sway in time Quartet of crickets chime in for the chorus If I were to pluck on their heartstrings would you strum on mine? Instrumental (2x): I’ve been longing for Daisies to push through the floor And I wish plant life would grow all around me So I won’t feel dead anymore So I won’t feel dead anymore Your spirit is sweet so pull off your sheet And give me a ghost of a smile Show me your teeth ’cause you’re teddy beneath So just grin and bear it a while Just grin and bear it a while I’d rather waltz than just walk through the forest The trees keep the tempo and they sway in time Quartet of crickets chime in for the chorus If I were to pluck on their heartstrings would you strum on mine? Instrumental (2x): To-night I’m busting out Of this old haunted house ’Cause I’m sick of waiting for All the spider webs to grow all around me ’Cause I don’t feel dead anymore And I’m not afraid anymore I’d rather waltz than just walk through the forest The trees keep the tempo and they sway in time Quartet of crickets chime in for the chorus If I were to pluck on their heartstrings would you strum on mine? Instrumental: If I were to pluck on their heartstrings would you strum on mine?

La chanson évoque un sentiment de mélancolie et de désir de renouveau. Elle décrit des images mystérieuses et un monde peuplé de créatures inattendues, comme un ours qui lit des manuels et des chauves-souris qui se déplacent en rythme. Le narrateur aspire à la lumière et à la vie, souhaitant que des fleurs poussent autour de lui pour chasser son sentiment de froid et d'immobilisme. Il exprime une nostalgia pour des moments de connexion, se demandant si une relation pourrait égayer sa solitude. Le contexte de la chanson semble être celui de la lutte contre des pensées sombres, un passage d'un espace de confinement, presque fantomatique, vers une existence plus vibrante. Le protagoniste se libère de son passé, désireux de danser parmi la nature et de renouer avec des sentiments de joie et de vie. C'est une quête pour ne plus se sentir "mort" et pour retrouver l'éclat d'une existence pleine et authentique.
