✍🏻 LYRICS \u0026 COMPOSITION BY EME LATINA (2026) ------------ ABOUT: ----------- In short, this song is about thriving without validation. I used moss as a metaphor for being overlooked in life, and yet remaining nonetheless resilient.

In life, true strength is not always noticed, but it endures long after recognition, beauty, and expectation have faded. ----------- LYRICS: ----------- I have no flowers to offer you, no real roots to hold me down; if existing was conditional, I’d have perished in the drought. You don't notice my existence, ’til it clashes with your view; soft and green across the landscape, quietly outliving you... No one loves the moss for growing Like moss, I grew; where nothing else would grow; through cold stone, alone without petals, until I spread through every catacomb below me... green against expectation there are softer forms of living, yes, just like there are softer ways to die... No one loves the moss for growing Like moss, I grew; where nothing else would grow; through cold stone, alone without petals, until I spread through every catacomb below me... green against expectation Soft and green across the landscape... quietly outliving you Like moss, I grew
