The Garden
Chris and Johnny Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
But lately I'm not in the mood
I'm not in the mood
Flowers Bloom
Beside a tree with an empty noose
In the Garden of Doom
In the Garden of Doom
Lost and confused
So what is the use
Of bleeding for you
Put them in the Dirt, baby send them to
The Garden of Doom
I think you'll be here soon
In the Garden of Doom
I hope they bury me too
In the Garden of Doom
The lyrics of “The Garden” by Chris and Johnny explore themes of being used and unappreciated in a relationship, as well as feelings of desolation and hopelessness. The opening lines, “I love being used, But lately I'm not in the mood”, suggest a sense of resignation and weariness towards being taken advantage of. The repetition of “I'm not in the mood” emphasizes the singer's lack of interest or willingness to continue being used by others.
The imagery of flowers blooming beside a tree with an empty noose in the Garden of Doom paints a dark and foreboding picture. This setting symbolizes a place of despair and destruction, where even nature is tainted by tragedy. The mention of being lost and confused further adds to the sense of disorientation and emotional turmoil experienced by the singer. The line “They only love you when you're in bloom” suggests that the singer is only valued or appreciated when they are at their best, highlighting the superficiality and conditional nature of the relationships portrayed in the song.
The lyric “So what is the use, Of bleeding for you” reflects a sense of futility and questioning about the sacrifices made for others. The singer ponders the purpose of giving so much of themselves, especially when it seems unreciprocated or unappreciated. The mention of putting someone in the dirt and sending them to the Garden of Doom evokes a sense of finality and closure, as well as a desire to rid oneself of toxic or negative influences.
The closing lines “I hope they bury me too, In the Garden of Doom” express a longing for an end to suffering and a desire to be freed from the burdens of past pain and betrayal. The repetition of the phrase “In the Garden of Doom” emphasizes the cyclical nature of these feelings of despair and disillusionment, suggesting a sense of inevitability or entrapment. Overall, the lyrics of “The Garden” convey a powerful sense of emotional struggle, vulnerability, and a yearning for release from a toxic and oppressive environment.

I love being used
I enjoy being taken advantage of
But lately I'm not in the mood
Recently, I haven't felt like being used
I'm not in the mood
I do not want to be used right now
Flowers Bloom
Plants are growing and blossoming
Beside a tree with an empty noose
Next to a tree that has a hanging rope with no one on it
In the Garden of Doom
In a dark and foreboding place
Lost and confused
Feeling directionless and uncertain
They only love you when you're in bloom
People only care about you when you are doing well
So what is the use
What is the point
Of bleeding for you
Of sacrificing for you
Put them in the Dirt, baby send them to
Bury them in the ground, send them away
The Garden of Doom
A place of darkness and despair
I think you'll be here soon
I believe you will arrive shortly
In the Garden of Doom
In this place of darkness and despair
I hope they bury me too
I wish to be buried as well
In the Garden of Doom
In this ominous and gloomy location

Chris is the poster child of why you should never hire family or relatives of your friends or partners.
When the big bosses talk, you clam up.
If anyone wants your opinion, they'll ask for it.
You never tell the boss what to do unless everyone at the table knows you are the boss's confidant.
You never speak out of turn, you always listen and ask follow up questions if the situation demands it.
And the most important thing: if your boss tells you not to talk about a certain subject, you don't talk about a certain subject.
Tony already knew Chris was a junkie and questioned his leadership and loyalty more than once (once at the Bing and second time after Adriana was with Tony in the accident). He should've never been made in the first place, let alone become a captain and a possible successor to Tony.
