Plant
Horse Champion Lyrics

In "Plant" by Horse Champion, the lyrics seem to suggest a sense of languor or listlessness, as the singer muses on the passage of time and the movements of the world around them. The opening lines of "It comes and goes" suggest a certain transience or impermanence, followed by the instructions to "make the ride" and "make it there in time" - perhaps a reflection on the fleeting nature of life, and the need to seize opportunities as they arise. The reference to calling one's mom and checking in on her well-being further reinforces this idea, as the singer seems to be seeking some sense of comfort or stability in a world that is constantly in flux.

The line "the planet spins around your face" has a dreamy, surreal quality to it, evoking a sense of disorientation or disconnection from reality. The singer then reflects on their own life, observing that they have "grown some plants" that keep them fed, suggesting a kind of self-sufficiency or contentment in simple pleasures. The repeated phrase "oh well I guess just lay in bed" could be read as an acceptance of one's own limitations or a desire to withdraw from the world, while the reference to Chris calling his mom and "it went bad" adds a note of melancholy or sadness to the song.

The final lines of the song pose a question: "Do you want to sing a song with me / Or get stoned and watch movies for free." This juxtaposition of artistic expression and hedonistic pleasure suggests a tension between different ways of engaging with the world, a theme that is echoed in the final line: "The world is big and dumb do you agree." The song seems to be grappling with the paradox of living in a world that is endlessly fascinating and yet often inscrutable or frustrating.
