"In The Green" by Elisa is a song about finding peace, unity, and connection with nature and with others. The lyrics describe the beauty of leaves moving gently, synchronized with their shadows, reminiscent of queens. The speaker wonders if the leaves would acknowledge their presence if they knew they were watching, and longs to dance like them. The leaves surrender to the strong light, changing their colors with the heat. The speaker admits that they may not know their exact location, but they know where they want to be. The idea that everything follows everything is repeated throughout the song, emphasizing the interconnectedness of all things. The song also highlights the closeness shared by the speaker and another person, no matter how much time they spend apart. They feel like they are still together, as if they are one. Just like leaves take their chance to fly, they will learn not to fear falling down. The lyrics mention blowing a wish in the hand and sending it back to the sky, symbolizing hope and the belief in something greater. The song expresses a desire to believe in the idea that everything follows everything, and that someone is singing to them, offering guidance or comfort. The repetition of the phrase "And I will be with you again" reflects the longing for reunion and the reassurance that they will be together once more. Overall, "In The Green" explores themes of unity, interconnectedness, and the search for belonging in the natural world and within relationships.
