The coconut is an unusual food for many reasons. It is technically a seed, produced by the coconut palm tree, and as such is one of the largest edible seeds produced by any plant. Its unusual contents also make it unique in the seed world-the interior consists of both "meat and water. The meat is the white pith with which we are all familiar as it is used extensively for cooking and flavorings the coconut water is a white liquid that is very sweet and thirst quenching
Portuguese explorers gave the nut its name in the 15th century, referring to it as coco, meaning ghost in their language. The three dimples and the hairy texture reminded them of a ghost's face, and the tree has retained that name ever since The coconut has many varied uses. It is used to make margarine, as well as various cooking oils, and these cooking oils are used by fast-food restaurants around the world to make such diet staples as French fries. The coconut fluid is a favorite drink in hot climates, providing a cool and refreshing beverage right off the tree. This water is also used by manufacturers of various sports drinks because of its isotonic electrolyte properties. Even the shell itself has many uses, including cattle food and fertilizer
Yet the coconut is also useful in many ways that have nothing to do with food. Coconut oil is used for cosmetics, medicines, and can even be used in place of diesel fuel. Dried coconut shells are used in many countries as a tool, such as a buffer for shining wood floors
The shells are also used for shirt buttons, and are commonly found on Hawaiian clothing. They are even used for musical instruments and bird houses! And all these are only some of the uses found for the coconut fruit. The coconut palm tree, which produces the nut, also produces countless useful items. It's no wonder that the coconut palm has been called the tree of life

Tell me hat you think of these lyrics!!

I'm out of my mind, I'm out of my head
no matter what I do, it goes back to what I said
I can't make you happy, no longer make you smile
My heart it's gone, gone for a while
I can't go back to the past
you keep holding on
I can't escape
I know my life's a wreck
So does that make me insane?!

I just wanna know what it feels like! (I'm out of my mind)
With me in your arms!! (I'm out of my head)
I wanna feel loved! (I know my life's a wreck)
SO DOES THAT MAKE ME INSANE!?

My life's crazy, but isn't everyone's?
You made me happy, so why did we fall?
I said that I'm sorry
Though I'm not sure what I did
Love's like the ocean
we're like the waves
no matter what we do, we'll never be the same
I can't go back to the past
you keep holding on
I can't escape
I know my life's a wreck

I just wanna know what it feels like! (I'm out of my mind)
With me in your arms!! (I'm out of my head)
I wanna feel loved! (I know my life's a wreck)
SO DOES THAT MAKE ME INSANE!?

So does that make me insane...?
'Cause I loved you...
I thought you loved me too...
I guess I was wrong...

And left me behind...
I guess all I can do...
Is say I'm sorry one last time...
