What's this song about?
Generate meaning
1
Fame is but a fruit tree
2
So very unsound
3
It can never flourish
4
Till it's stalk is in the ground
5
So men of fame
6
Can never find a way
7
Till time has flown
8
Far from their dying day
9
Forgotten while you're here
10
Remembered for a while
11
A much updated ruin
12
From a much outdated style
13
Life is but a memory
14
Happened long ago
15
Theater full of sadness
16
For a long forgotten show
17
Seems so easy
18
Just to let it go on by
19
Till you stop and wonder
20
Why you never wondered why
21
Safe in the womb
22
Of an everlasting night
23
You find the darkness can
24
Give the brightest light
25
Safe in your place
26
Deep in the earth
27
That's when they'll know
28
What you were really worth
29
Forgotten while you're here
30
Remembered for a while
31
A much updated ruin
32
From a much outdated style
33
Fame is but a fruit tree
34
So very unsound
35
It can never flourish
36
Till it's stalk is in the ground
37
So men of fame
38
Can never find a way
39
Till time has flown
40
Far from their dying day
41
Fruit tree, fruit tree
42
No-one knows you but the rain and the air
43
Don't you worry
44
They'll stand and stare when you're gone
45
Fruit tree, fruit tree
46
Open your eyes to another year
47
They'll all know
48
That you were here when you're gone
