Innocence
Fool's Garden Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
I don't know where to begin
Can't find the words to describe
Cannot explain what I mean
We're not the same anymore
We have lost our innocence
Well you have opened the door
I step around in the dark
And search for ways I can't find
My head is humming my love
We have lost our innocence
Now the rains set in and it makes me wonder
And the storm begins i can hear the thunder
I can hear what you say
But I don't understand
I can read in your eyes
Like the back of my hand
Gimme, gimme, gimme… gimme, gimme, gimme
Reason to live
Give me the colours I need
To paint this desolate sky
I'm running out of control
Because the longer I try
To cut the wires in me
I fear the consequence
You put your hands on my face
Show me the easy way out
But I am too yellow and weak
Can't get my feet on the ground
I'm so in trouble my love
But you are innocent now the rains set in
And it makes me wonder and the storm begins
I can hear the thunder
I can feel what you say
But I don't understand
I can read in your eyes
Like the back of my hand
Now the rains set in and it makes me wonder
And the storm begins i can hear the thunder
I can hear what you say
But I don't understand
I can read in your eyes
Like the back of my hand
Gimme, gimme, gimme… gimme all your love
Gimme, gimme, gimme
Reason to live
The song "Innocence" by Fool's Garden delves into the complexities of a failing relationship. The lyrics depict the singer's struggle to articulate the confusion and emotional turmoil they are experiencing. They cannot find the words to express their thoughts and feelings and acknowledge that they have lost the connection and innocence they shared with their loved one. The line, "We're not the same anymore; we have lost our innocence" conveys how the relationship has changed and how the trust and purity they once shared have been lost.
The song's intensity increases as the singer tries to grasp onto some reassurance, longing for some sense of normalcy. The line, "Give me the colours I need to paint this desolate sky," portrays this longing, and the repeated plea, "Gimme all your love, gimme a reason to live" emphasizes how the singer seeks a connection and meaning in their life. However, despite the pleas and longings, the singer acknowledges their weakness and inability to cope, stating, "But I am too yellow and weak; can't get my feet on the ground."
Throughout the song, the singer is caught in the storm of their emotions, with the rain and thunder acting as a metaphor for their internal struggles. The chorus repeats the line, "I can hear what you say, but I don't understand. I can read in your eyes like the back of my hand," illustrating that despite their attempts, the singer cannot understand their partner's thoughts and emotions. This line is a powerful expression of the struggle to understand an ending relationship and the emotional distance that has developed.

So many thoughts in my head
My mind is crowded with numerous ideas
I don't know where to begin
I'm clueless on where to start
Can't find the words to describe
I'm struggling to express
Cannot explain what I mean
I cannot make myself clear
We're not the same anymore
We've grown apart
We have lost our innocence
We've lost our naivety and purity
Well you have opened the door
You've initiated something
And pushed me into the night
You've made me wander in the dark
I step around in the dark
I'm lost and unsure
And search for ways I can't find
I'm looking for solutions that seem elusive
My head is humming my love
My mind is racing, my dear
Now the rains set in and it makes me wonder
I'm wondering about the current situation as if it were a storm
And the storm begins i can hear the thunder
I'm sensing a conflict or trouble about to start
I can hear what you say
I can understand your words
But I don't understand
I don't comprehend the reason or motive
I can read in your eyes
I can sense your emotions
Like the back of my hand
I know it very well
Gimme, gimme, gimme… gimme, gimme, gimme
I need or want
Give me the colours I need
Provide me with the things that will brighten up my life
To paint this desolate sky
To transform my miserable life into a beautiful picture
I'm running out of control
I'm losing my grip on things
Because the longer I try
The more I struggle
To cut the wires in me
To break free from my problems
I fear the consequence
I'm wary of the outcome
You put your hands on my face
You're comforting me
Show me the easy way out
You're offering me an effortless solution
But I am too yellow and weak
I'm afraid and feeble
Can't get my feet on the ground
I'm uncertain and unstable
I'm so in trouble my love
I'm in deep distress
But you are innocent
You're not guilty of any wrongdoing
Gimme all your love
Give me your affection
Reason to live
A purpose for my existence

Adoro os arranjos da música e a arte do vídeo. Inspirado nos Beatles, mas com o estilo do Fools Garden, tornou-se uma produção muito especial! 👏🏻💐
