(Written while listening)
All the tears that I have shed,
Over and over and over
In my heart and cleared my head,
Over and over and over
Over and over and over
One by one they led me home,
Over and over and over
Its my pleasure to be here at your feet,
It's my honor and my joy
It's no wonder that I'm finding you here,
My soul in your silent Garden
instrumental one vers
Be the light that I may see,
Over and over and over
Then let me serve thee for my lead,
Over and over and over
Its my pleasure to be here at your feet,
It's my honor and my joy
It's no wonder that I'm finding you here,
My soul in your silent garden
Its my pleasure to be here at your feet,
It's my honor and my joy
It's no wonder that I'm finding you here,
My soul in your silent garden
The lyrics of Deva Premal & Miten's song Silent Garden are quite poetic and filled with meaning. Miten begins by reflecting on the tears he has shed repeatedly, which have eventually led to peace in his heart and clarity in his mind. He then speaks about the different highways he has taken in his life, which have taken him closer to his home, one by one. This can be interpreted as a metaphor for his journey towards finding inner peace, which has been a slow and gradual process.
Miten then expresses his deep sense of gratitude and honor to be in the presence of someone who is clearly important to him, and who has helped him find his way to his "silent garden". This phrase can be interpreted as a metaphor for the inner stillness and serenity he has found within himself, with the help of this special person. In the second verse, Miten asks to be shown the light so that he can continue to serve this presence and follow its lead, in a never-ending cycle of devotion and gratitude.
Overall, the song is a beautiful expression of the human experience of suffering, growth, and transcendence, all in the context of a deeper spiritual connection.
