Cinderblock Garden
All Time Low Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Wait
I think we're onto something
We can't run from fate
But we can let it take us down
Down this road
Where all our colors run together
Let's take this mess and make a home
I know it gets hard for you to stay
But do you really want to throw it all away?
(I'm thinkin')
That we could make forever after all
Finding the gold in our darkest moments
Watching the roads turning into white roses, roses
And we don't ever have to leave these walls
I'll be the boy with the silver lining
You'll be the girl with the Cinder Block Garden
Tonight
Take all the ghosts and all those skeletons
You hide
And bury them deep beneath the ground
Let them rest
'Cause you weren't meant to bear that burden
Look at the roses in your garden
You can breathe now and forget
Forget it gets hard for you to stay
But we don't really have to throw it all away
I'm thinkin'
That we could make forever after all
Finding the gold in our darkest moments
Watching the roads turning into white roses, roses
And we don't ever have to leave these walls
I'll be the boy with the silver lining
You'll be the girl with the Cinder Block Garden
Just hold out for tomorrow
Our dreams will follow
Follow us back to when
When nothing was broken
The future was open
Let's go back again
(Let's go again)
That we could make forever after all
Finding the gold in our darkest moments
Watching the roads turning into white roses, roses
And we don't ever have to leave these walls
I'll be the boy with the silver lining
You'll be the girl with the Cinder Block Garden
The song "Cinderblock Garden" by All Time Low is a tribute to the resilience of love and the strength of the human spirit in times of hardship. The title of the song itself is a metaphor for the idea that from something heavy and seemingly impenetrable, like a cinder block, something beautiful can still grow. The lyrics follow a narrative of two people who are facing difficult circumstances but are determined to overcome them together. They acknowledge that life can be hard and that fate can be cruel, but they decide not to give up. Instead, they choose to face their struggles head-on and to find hope and beauty in the darkest moments.
The chorus of the song is particularly uplifting, as it suggests that through perseverance and determination, the couple can make their love last forever. The metaphor of "finding the gold in our darkest moments" perfectly captures the idea that love can be a source of light and hope in even the bleakest of times. The reference to turning "roads into white roses" is also a powerful image, suggesting that even the most difficult paths can lead to something beautiful.
Overall, "Cinderblock Garden" is a deeply inspiring song that speaks to the power of love, the resilience of the human spirit, and the ability to find hope and beauty in even the darkest of times.

Wait
Hold on and be patient
I think we're onto something
I believe we are getting somewhere
We can't run from fate
We cannot escape destiny
But we can let it take us down
We can surrender ourselves to it
Down this road
On this path we are currently on
Where all our colors run together
Where our differences merge into unity
Let's take the worst and make it better
Let's turn our difficulties into triumphs
Let's take this mess and make a home
Let's create something meaningful out of chaos
I know it gets hard for you to stay
I understand that it's tough for you to remain
But do you really want to throw it all away?
Do you truly desire to give up completely?
(I'm thinkin')
I am pondering
That we could make forever after all
That we could create a lasting future in the end
Finding the gold in our darkest moments
Discovering the good in our most challenging times
Watching the roads turning into white roses, roses
Observing our struggles transform into something beautiful
And we don't ever have to leave these walls
We don't have to leave this safe haven
I'll be the boy with the silver lining
I'll be the one with the positive perspective
You'll be the girl with the Cinder Block Garden
You'll be the one who creates something out of nothing
Tonight
This very evening
Take all the ghosts and all those skeletons
Let go of your past traumas and regrets
You hide
That you keep concealed
And bury them deep beneath the ground
And put them to rest once and for all
Let them rest
Allow them to be at peace
'Cause you weren't meant to bear that burden
Because you were not meant to carry that weight alone
Look at the roses in your garden
Focus on the good things you have created
You can breathe now and forget
You can relax and let go
Just hold out for tomorrow
Just keep persevering until the next day
Our dreams will follow
Our ambitions will come true
Follow us back to when
Lead us back to the previous time
When nothing was broken
When everything was still good
The future was open
The future was full of possibilities
Let's go back again
Let's return there once more

This is one of my favorite songs of ATL
This is way better than all of those songs about sex and other shit.
Everyone should listen to this.
