unless it's pouring down with rain
You will find me if you want me in the garden
unless it's pouring down with rain
You will find me if you want me in the garden
unless it's pouring down with rain
You will find me if you want me in the garden
unless it's pouring down with rain
You will find me if you want me in the garden
unless it's pouring down with rain
You will find me if you want me in the garden
unless it's pouring down with rain
You will find me if you want me in the garden
unless it's pouring down with rain
You will find me if you want me in the garden
unless it's pouring down with rain
You will find me waiting for spring and summer
You will find me waiting for the fall
You will find me waiting for the apples to ripened
You will find me waiting for them to fall
You will find me by the banks of all four rivers
You will find me at the spring of conciousness
You will find me if you want me in the garden
unless it's pouring down with rain
You will find me if you want me in the garden
unless it's pouring down with rain
You will find me if you want me in the garden
unless it's pouring down with rain
You will find me if you want me in the garden
unless it's pouring down with rain
You will find me if you want me in the garden
unless it's pouring down with rain
The lyrics to Einstuerzende Neubauten's "The Garden" are simple and repetitive, but they carry a deeper meaning. The singer is inviting someone to find them in the garden, but only if the weather is not inclement. This could be interpreted as meaning that the singer is only available for connection and communication when the conditions are right, and otherwise is not interested or able to engage.
The second half of the song paints a picture of the singer waiting patiently in the garden for the changing of the seasons, and for the fruits of the earth to ripen and fall. This suggests a sense of acceptance and surrender to the natural cycle of life, and a willingness to wait patiently for things to unfold.
Overall, the song seems to be about the rhythms of nature and the importance of timing in communication and connection with others. It also hints at a sense of peace and contentment that can be found by aligning oneself with the natural world.
