Fool's Garden Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
And it's a sign so white of colour.
The more I watch, the more it turns around
And it's painting yellow circles down on the floor.
Go!
Time is up and the sky is down.
Where's the only way I know?
There's nothing else below.
Why don't you take it away?
Why don't you take it away?
Why don't you take it away with all its pain?
Why don't you take your spell away?
Tell me who I am,
Tell me where I go.
My brain begins to swim
But I don't know.
Tell me who I am,
Tell me where I go.
I don't know - oh I don't know,
But I don't know.
No illusion, no discovering,
Nothing left at all,
No protection, no assurance.
I stumbled, now I fall.
Why don't you take it away?
Why don't you take it away?
Why don't you take it away with all its pain?
Why don't you take your spell away?
Tell me who I am,
Tell me where I go.
My brain begins to swim
But I don't know.
Tell me who I am,
Tell me where I go.
I don't know - oh I don't know.
Tell me who I am,
Tell me where I go.
My brain begins to swim
But I don't know.
Tell me who I am,
Tell me where I go.
I don't know - oh I don't know,
I don't know!
The song "Tell Me Who I Am" by Fool's Garden expresses confusion and uncertainty as the singer tries to understand their own identity and purpose. The opening lines of the song describe a sign on the wall that is turning and painting circles on the floor, possibly representing the dizzying and disorienting sensation of feeling lost and directionless. The lines "Time is up and the sky is down. Where's the only way I know?" suggest a feeling of time running out and a desperate search for some kind of grounding or stability.
The repeated refrain "Tell me who I am, tell me where I go. My brain begins to swim but I don't know" captures the essence of the song's theme, as the singer pleads for guidance and understanding from whoever or whatever can provide it. They feel like they are swimming in confusion and ignorance, and are in need of a lifeline to make sense of their existence.
Overall, the song is about the universal human experience of searching for meaning and identity in a confusing and ever-changing world. It speaks to the importance of finding a sense of purpose and belonging, and the struggle that comes with that search.

Lemon Tree
I'm sitting here in a boring room
It's just another rainy Sunday afternoon
I'm wasting my time, I got nothing to do
I'm hanging around, I'm waiting for you
But nothing ever happens and I wonder
I'm driving around in my car
I'm driving too fast, I'm driving too far
I'd like to change my point of view
I feel so lonely, I'm waiting for you
But nothing ever happens and I wonder
I wonder how, I wonder why
Yesterday you told me 'bout the blue blue sky
And all that I can see
Is just a yellow lemon tree
I'm turning my head up and down
I'm turning, turning, turning, turning, turning around
And all that I can see is just another lemon tree
Sing: dah
Da da da da da - di da dah
Da da da da da - di dah dah
Da di di di dah
I'm sitting here, I miss the power
I'd like to go out, taking a shower
But there's a heavy cloud inside my head
I feel so tired, put myself into bed
Well nothing ever happens and I wonder
Isolation is not good for me
Isolation
I don't want to sit on a lemon tree
I'm steppin' around in the desert of joy
Baby, anyhow I'll get another toy
And everything will happen and you'll wonder
I wonder how, I wonder why
Yesterday you told me 'bout the blue blue sky
And all that I can see is just another lemon tree
I'm turning my head up and down
I'm turning, turning, turning, turning, turning around
And all that I can see is just a yellow lemon tree
And I wonder, wonder
I wonder how, I wonder why
Yesterday you told me 'bout the blue blue sky
And all that I can see
And all that I can see
And all that I can see is just a yellow lemon tree.

В пятом классе у меня была потрясающая учительница по английскому. Она учила абсолютно по-другому: с юмором, с честностью, с любовью. Могла отдать целый урок на подготовку к контрольной, могла раздать конфеты просто в середине урока.
Домашку на её уроки я делала с удовольствием, каким бы сложныс оно не было. Хотя с ней "сложно" означало лишь "интересно".
А самое главное - мы учили песни. Без перевода, на английском, а потом выступали на школьных концертах. Lemon tree - одна из самых первых, что я выучила. Слова помню до сих пор
Она умерла от рака груди летом моего шестого класса. Светлой памяти.
In fifth grade, I had an amazing English teacher. She taught in a completely different way: with humor, with honesty, with love. She could give an entire lesson to prepare for a test, she could hand out candy just in the middle of the lesson.
I did my homework for her lessons with pleasure, no matter how difficult it was. Although with her, "difficult" only meant "interesting".
And most importantly, we learned songs. Without translation, in English, and then they performed at school concerts. I still remember the words "lemon tree", it was the first time I I still remember the words to "lemon tree", it was the first song I learned.
She died of breast cancer in the summer of my Sixth Grade
