The meaning of this song is actually pretty DEEP and RELATABLE. ❤️ Adam Young explain this in his blog. 👇🏽 My buddy Matt and I wrote a song about this idea. The lyrics paint a picture of a forlorn haunted house, sad and forgotten, dead and lifeless on the outside but very much alive in its own nightmarish horror on the inside. The song quips about the idea that the ghostly inhabitants of such a spine-chilling place secretly long for sunlight to crash through the dirty windows and daisies to push up through the floorboards so they’ll feel alive again. I imagine if I myself were the resident of a haunted house, I’d wish for my fair share of sunshine just like anyone else, and that parallels the way I choose to “escape” from reality whenever the real world begins to grow cobwebs and lights start turning on and off by themselves. For me, those daisies are the most wonderful glimmers of hope imaginable, and such sudden sparkles of optimism and beauty suddenly make me feel brave. All whimsy aside - and on an even more personal level than the aforementioned metaphorical disclosure, this song’s deepest level of symbolism parallels Jesus Christ as the only ray of hope I have in this haunted house of a world. For me, sometimes it’s easy to focus on the bloody nightmares that inevitably show themselves from time to time, but despite such dismal distractions, it’s obvious the Lord has a way of planting victorious hope all around, and sometimes such beautiful blooms of color and vibrancy crop up out of nowhere when I least expect them. At times it requires wisdom to see them, other times it’s stunningly obvious, but regardless of circumstance, these angelic reminders are tremendously potent and absolutely real. Thus I continue to keep my knees black-and-blue, constantly on the hardwood floor, wholeheartedly thanking my Savior for the tremendous grace I’ve been given, for I’m not praying to the ceiling anymore. In so many words, this is the main idea behind a song entitled Plant Life on the upcoming record. At the end of the day, I can only answer for myself and I’ll be the first to admit I’m nothing but a worthless sinner, day in and day out. I’m as imperfect and flawed as they come. Thus, when the sun disappears behind the clouds and life suddenly turns into a haunted house, I cling to Jesus with every fiber of my being because He is unfailing, He is absolute, He is steadfast and His grace is deeper and wider than my imagination can even fathom. In Him and Him alone is where I’ve discovered a hope more bright and beautiful than words can possibly describe. (c)
Digi-Beatz I just want to thank you and tell you that you are doing a great job at the videos and sharing all of this wonderful music Dont stop doing what you're doing
El estilo country y ligero mezclado con pop es lo que caracteriza el apego que siento hacía sus canciones, se hacen en gran parte adictivas gracias a ritmos lentos o en crescendos con sonidos de golpe y psicodelia.
The original is better the fastness of this ruins the mood a bit but it's the only lyric I can get on my phone and I don't mind the speed to much it doesn't completely ruin it
This song plucked my heartstrings
And you strummed on it.
Much jokes much amused
I think owl city is underrated adam needs more credit for his wonderful music
I agree. Owl City is epic. Adam totally deserves more credit. :D

I have many new videos planned at the moment so I might not get to Plant Life in a while, but I'll try.
+Digi-Beatz can you do a Unbelievable lyrics video? also this is a great song ♡♡♡
+Ariana Vidal I've done one months ago but it got taken down, which is why I'm not uploading videos for any of his newer songs. It's too risky.
:)

I can, but it'll have to be sped-up a bit like all of my vids. If you're okay with that, I'll upload it.
Ok!
GroundbreakingGamer Ok, it should be uploaded soon!
