about
WHAT LUNA SAYS
Dom and I had worked on several songs before and when he sent me his verse idea for “Overgrown” I immediately felt connected to it. Having moved from home this year, a part of me feels like the garden. The places I used to nurture and be a part of are now left to grow on their own, without me.
From there, the songs story grew into a story of loss and nostalgia. Life moves so fast and as new houses fill with light, old ones fall victim to the dust and weather of time. Whether it’s a person or a place that doesn’t exist anymore, there’s memories and moments that tie us to them all our lives. “Missing you is all I know, I can’t forget or let you go”
WHAT DOM SAYS
The song is a metaphor for losing someone close to you (mother, father, sibling, friend grandparents, etc..), and while it never feels the same when they are gone you have fond memories of that time.
The inspiration for the song came from my own childhood and how I would spend my weekends with my grandparents. Some of my favorite lines come from the Bridge, these include ‘grass beneath my toes’, ‘dirt on the patio’, and ‘flowers in the window’. They not only invoke memories but ignite the senses and create a vivid and lasting image.
lyrics
This garden, ain’t a garden anymore
All I see is grey where colour was before
This garden, ain’t a garden anymore
All that’s left behind are dust and thorns
How time goes
Missing you is all I know
I can’t forget or you let go
Missing you is all I know
A place we called our home
Is overgrown
This house, ain’t a house anymore
All is silent in these corridors
This house, ain’t a house anymore
Only emptiness behind these walls
How time goes
Missing you is all I know
I can’t forget or you let go
Missing you is all I know
A place we called our home
Is overgrown
Is overgrown
I recall the sun
When my heart was young
And the grass beneath my toes
Dirt on the patio
Cut flowers in the window
And the early winter snow
How time goes
Missing you is all I know
I can’t forget or you let go
Missing you is all I know
A place we called our home
Is overgrown
Is overgrown
Is overgrown
Is overgrown
