Poor Old Lu - The Weeds That Grow Around My Feet lyrics

'Weeds' actually sprung out of a song written by Jesse. Although the chords and tempo were changed slightly, the general feel of the song remains the same. As we finished writing the song in studio, I had an incredibly difficult time writing lyrics, or maybe I had difficulty being comfortable with what I had already written. In any case, this song has grown on me over the years more than any other song. The theme of this song runs pretty deep. 'The Weeds That Grow Around My Feet' of course deals with someone standing in one place for too long, so that the weeds begin to grow around them. Specifically, this song deals with being stuck in a rut of sin. Often times we get caught in a sinful situation, but if left unchecked that sin begins to grow and pull us down. Over time, the sin is our comfort ("do I love this world?, can I breathe beyond here?"). Recognizing that we are caught in a rut of sin is so important, but we need to bring it before the Lord. It's also imperative that we get accountability with a friend or pastor. Our God is the God of freedom, and He hates to see us bound by anything of this world. Amen. choices cloud my head again wrapped up in myself instead and if I fall this time will it be the last time for this crime and anger has more of my soul than I ever wished it would hold and as I let it go and watch how it grows it won't fold do I love this world? can I breathe beyond here? flowers have grown round my eyes and ears the soil it soaks all my tears how I'm tired of standing here and I'm sick of that heat that's so near and if we're all right and if we cannot be wrong then we needn't fear we're almost there like I'm depressed and I hold a gun do I love this world? can I breathe beyond here? it's all the same just falling rain all the more the reason to stay what is the scene it's brown and green the weeds that grow around my feet and if we're all right and if we cannot be wrong then we needn't fear we're almost there
