Egg
The Garden Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

I feel like
I haven't trudged
But what has changed
Has been enough
I couldn't grasp
What wasn't there
Until I felt
the dunces glare

These fragile eggs
Will likely crack
Unless you pick
Another track
I have myself
I straighten my back
Advance forward
I won't look back

I break this bubble
That blocks my sense
This machine
Rebuilt again
What others see
Can be a test
Do I really think
I'm at my best?

These fragile eggs
Will likely crack
Unless you pick
Another track
I have myself
I straighten my back
Advance forward
I won't look back
Half-complete
Life goes on
I open up
Into the sun
Cut through that smoke
They have my back
I will prevail
I don't need that

These fragile eggs
Will likely crack
Unless you pick
Another track
I have myself
I straighten my back
Advance forward
I won't look back
Half-complete
Life goes on
I open up
into the sun
Cut through that smoke
I straighten my back
I will prevail
I don't need that
I don't need that

Overall Meaning

The Garden’s song Egg is a power-pop anthem that embeds a straightforward message about resilience and triumph in the face of difficulties. The lyrics begin by expressing a feeling of being stuck and unable to advance. However, the song reassures the listener that even if progress feels slow, every shift counts. In the second verse, the metaphor of eggs is introduced - the vulnerability and fragility of the eggs that might crack without protection is interlocked with the fear of failure or finding oneself at the end of a wrong path. The challenge is to pick a different track and keep going, perhaps with a renewed sense of purpose.


The song appears to encourage taking responsibility for one’s life and remaining steadfast in the face of adversity. The Garden, through the lyrics, persistently assert that they are taking their destiny into their own hands by breaking the bubble that blocks their sense, and they refuse to let the past get in the way of future progress. By declaring "I have myself, I straighten my back, advance forward, I won't look back," the artists are urging listeners to stand up for themselves and forge ahead.


Overall, the lyrics to Egg are uplifting and encouraging, reminding us that we can all succeed when we take responsibility for ourselves and approach life with resilience, tenacity, and self-belief.

I feel like
I have a sensation that


I haven't trudged
I haven't walked laboriously


But what has changed
Even though something has changed


Has been enough
It has been sufficient


I couldn't grasp
I couldn't understand or hold onto


What wasn't there
Something that was absent


Until I felt
Until the moment I experienced


the dunces glare
The intense and disapproving gaze of others


These fragile eggs
My vulnerable and delicate dreams or aspirations


Will likely crack
Are susceptible to breaking or failing


Unless you pick
Except when you choose


Another track
A different direction or plan


I have myself
I possess myself and my own abilities


I straighten my back
I stand tall and confidently


Advance forward
Move ahead with determination


I won't look back
I won't dwell on the past

Partly finished


Life goes on
Time continues to pass


I open up
I become more vulnerable and honest


Into the sun
Towards a bright and hopeful future


Cut through that smoke
Pushing past distractions or obstacles


They have my back
Others support or believe in me


I will prevail
I will overcome and succeed


I don't need that
I don't require whatever is holding me back

I feel like, I haven't trudged
But what has changed, has been enough
I couldn't grasp what wasn't there
Until I felt the dunces glare

[Chorus]
These fragile eggs, will likely crack
Unless you pick another track
I have myself, I straighten my back
It bends forward, I won´t look back
I break this bubble, that blocks my sense
This machine, rebuilt again
What other city, can be a test?
Do I really think I'm at my best

These fragile eggs, will likely crack
Unless you pick another track
I have myself, I straighten my back
It bends forward, I won't look back

Half-complete, life goes on
I open up into the sun
Cut through that smoke they have my back
I will prevail, I don't need that

These fragile eggs, will likely crack
Unless you pick another track
I have myself, I straighten my back
It bends forward, I won't look back

Half-complete, life goes on
I open up into the sun
Cut through that smoke, I straighten my back
I will prevail, I don't need that



Easy.
