In The Garden
Animal Logic Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Let's take a walk in the Garden of Eden
Where Eve and Adam walked before
No golden apple, no double meaning
Don't pay attention if you're offered more

Let's roll around in the Garden of Eden
Let's discover heavenly delights
Don't need permission, don't need a reason
We won't care if it's day or night

No laws were broken here for what it's worth
I'm begging you not to run
Lay down your heart in paradise on earth
Forget everything I've done

We'll be walking in the garden
Leave temptation behind
We'll be dreaming in the garden
We can stay forever if you'd only make up your mind

Across the deserts
Over the oceans
Lie the gates to
Pure devotion

So take my hand to a land we'll discover
We can build a city of our own
Maybe then we'll let in all of the others
Or just stay locked in our homes

No laws were broken

We'll be walking in the garden
Leave temptation behind
We'll be dreaming in the garden
We can stay forever if you'd only make up your mind

And when the thunder roars
And lightning rocks the shores
And every grain of sand gets washed away
You and I will stay

We'll be walking in the garden
Leave temptation behind




We'll be dreaming in the garden
We can stay forever if you'd only make up your mind

Overall Meaning

The song "In The Garden" by Animal Logic is a plea for the listener to join the singer in an idyllic and pure place, much like the Biblical Garden of Eden. The lyrics suggest that there will be no temptation or sin in this garden, leaving the participants free to explore the heavenly delights that await them. There is a sense of urgency in the singer's voice as he implores the listener to join him, as if he knows that this opportunity may not last forever.


The Garden of Eden is a symbol of innocence and purity in many cultures, and this song taps into that idea. The singer is offering a temporary escape from the troubles and stresses of the world, a chance to be free from the constraints of society and just be in a peaceful and harmonious environment. The repeated refrain of "We'll be walking in the garden, leave temptation behind" emphasizes the importance of leaving behind any negativity or destructive behavior in order to fully embrace the experience.


The last verse of the song suggests that the singer and the listener will weather any storm that may come their way, as long as they remain together in the garden. It's a romantic notion, but also a reminder that even in the face of adversity, there can be beauty and peace.
