The Garden
G&R Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

I taste fruits from sinful gardens
Kick me out I’ll thrive regardless
Never asked for opinions I beg your pardon
Scrape against society my free will must be sharpened
I taste fruits from sinful gardens
Kick me out I’ll thrive regardless
Never asked for opinions I beg your pardon
Scrape against society my free will must be sharpened
I am in paradise but I am not happy
Nothing around here grabs me
I feel the wind pass me I see the birds above
Wish I was flying with them
Is that the meaning of love
The freedom to go as you please
Or the weight of staying the same
I feel a part of the truth is missing
I feel the fabric of life is fraying
Sun is talking what is it saying
Made of water the moon is controlling
Losing my grip on life what am I holding
Is it the things I was taught or what I can’t live without
In essence my presence Is seeking value through reference
Point me to where I can get it so mystic so fast I missed it
The overseer hates that I am a non believer
But once I get the proof we can hang like chandeliers
I taste fruits from sinful gardens
Kick me out I’ll thrive regardless
Never asked for opinions I beg your pardon
Scrape against society my free will must be sharpened
I taste fruits from sinful gardens
Kick me out I’ll thrive regardless
Never asked for opinions I beg your pardon
Scrape against society my free will must be sharpened
This world tells you no a million times to one yes
One vest I cover my heart up with one less
Fucks I give no matter if you like it or not
I fight it with snot
I’m sick and tired of being a lighter for people that steal my fire
I’m about my bread like a kaiser
I roll it and light her I’m feeling inspired
I gotta get my peak to be higher my demons admire
My fortitude cause I’m a fighter no matter the round yea
My food for thought is fruitarian, Shawne Merriman
Lights out living on the edge of despair again
But if I take a bite will I lose my faith
Or be enlightened by the world that’s in front of my face
I taste fruits from sinful gardens
Kick me out I’ll thrive regardless
Never asked for opinions I beg your pardon
Scrape against society my free will must be sharpened
I taste fruits from sinful gardens
Kick me out I’ll thrive regardless




Never asked for opinions I beg your pardon
Scrape against society my free will must be sharpened

Child's voice]
No I won't

[Verse 1: Axl Rose]
You know you're all alone
Your friends, they aren't at home
Everybody's gone to the garden
As you look into the trees
You can look, but you don't see
Flowers seem to tease you at the garden
Everybody's there
But you don't seem to care
What's it with you man, and this garden?

[Chorus: Alice Cooper]
Turned into my worst phobia
A crazy man's utopia
If you're lost, no one can show you
But it sure was glad to know you
Only poor boys take a chance
On the garden's song and dance
Feel her flowers, as they wrap around
But only smart boys do without

[Solo]
[Verse 2: Axl Rose]
You can find it all inside
No need to wrestle with your pride
No you ain't losing your mind, you're just in the garden
They can lead you to yourself
Or you can throw it on the shelf
But you know you can look inside for the garden

[Chorus: Alice Cooper]
I wasn't really scared
Lost my virginity there
To a gypsy with blond hair
But now no one seems to care
Like a mouse inside a maze
Wandering 'round for daze
With a smile upon my face
I never want to leave this place

Only poor boys take a chance
On this garden song and dance
Feel her flowers, as they wrap around
But only smart boys do without
Turned into my worst phobia
It's a crazy man's utopia
If you're lost no one can show you
But it sure was glad to know you

Bye-bye, so long, bye-bye
It's glad to know you
Bye-bye
Bye-bye
Aw, so long

An absolute masterpiece of one of the greatest band of all time. Melancholic, powerful and mysterious at the same time. Brings you into trance. Simply brilliant.

@ghigemignani

Yeah❤

@jasperw.2701

It seems like it is about going insane. For some reason I find that very relatable.

@alka7145

Esta canción me hace sentir esas mañanas frías, después de una fiesta, el canto de los pájaros y la neblina...con el cuerpo cortado de tanto beber alcohol, caminando a casa...
