The 2nd single released off BetterOffDEAD. Produced by the usual talented zombie, Erick Arc Elliott. In “Palm Trees” we find each of the zombies bringing up problems, complaints, stress, and grievances that they have in general. Then they each discard those problems/complaints/grievances and indulge in “Palm Trees”, which symbolize both vacations (and therefore relaxation) and Mary Jane.

Also noticeable is the length of the song—4:20—which explains that it’s not regular trees they’re talking about. The single artwork is of Kame’s House in the popular Dragon Ball series.

The song samples the voice of Jeni Suk in her cover of the song “Wildfire”.

This is sampled from Popcaan’s intro on Pusha T’s track “Blocka.”

It’s also sampled on the track’s bridge.

Gwaan in Jamaican Patois typically translates to “go on.” thus the hook would concisely say, “all dem a gwaan softer than clay” which would more sensibly translate to “all of them are going on (behaving/acting) softer than clay.”

No matter how tough they are acting, that’s just a shell and they are soft at the core.

The girl and Abel are both lifeless which allows them to relate to each other so well – Abel isn’t dumb, he just want his benefits as well.

In addition, Abel continues the relative tone of the song by saying he, too, is “lifeless,” or an emotionless, “nonchalant” person. He doesn’t love the woman for a personality or possibly even looks more so than he loves the fact that she can actually relate to him, that they’re both “dead inside”.
