With a little bit of sass and a whole lot of wisdom, Maren Morris delivers a powerful anthem about personal growth and liberation. "The Tree" is a metaphorical tale about recognizing toxic relationships and the courage to cut them off. The tree with rotting roots symbolizes a problematic relationship that's causing more harm than good. Morris emphasizes the importance of self-preservation, even if it means taking drastic measures like chopping down the tree. The lyrics also celebrate the liberating feeling of letting go and embracing change, highlighting her resilience in making miracles out of shadows. It's an empowering call to action for anyone who's stuck in a draining situation - it's time to pick up that axe!
