Gardenia
Gazz Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

She knows the secrets no one knows
And shes' sweeter than the rose

Gardenia says we're gonna drown
Like ophelia we'll float on down

She says we're nearer to the end
And very soon there will be nothing left

(oh no,oh no)

She says theres' really no escape,
Yeah she says we've sealed our fate

Gardenia sees the world in flames
Her intuition says its much to late

I can't believe when she says
That pretty soon everything will be dead

There'll be no roses left to pick
There'll be no people left to give them
There'll be no air for us to breathe
There'll be no need for hell or heaven

Gardenia says we're gonna drown
Like ophelia we'll float on down

She says we're nearer to the end
And very soon there wil be nothing left

Gardenia sees the world in flames
Her intuition says its much to late

I can't believe when she says
That pretty soon everything will be dead





There'll be no need to be forgiven

Overall Meaning

The lyrics to Gazz's song Gardenia depict a prophet-like figure who goes by the name Gardenia. Gardenia is depicted as knowing secrets that no one else knows, and her presence is likened to that of a sweet-smelling rose. The song paints a bleak picture of the state of the world as predicted by Gardenia. She predicts that the world is going to drown and people will float down like Ophelia, a reference to the ill-fated Shakespearean character who drowned. Gardenia foretells the end of the world where everything will be dead, including people, roses, and the very air that we breathe.


Gardenia is presented as someone who possesses an incredible intuition and insight into the future. She predicts that there is no escape for humanity, and we have sealed our own fate. She sees the world engulfed in flames, and it is much too late to prevent this reality from happening. The chorus repeats the same dire predictions, with the world nearing its end, and there will be nothing left.


The song conveys a sense of hopelessness and inevitability, and the lyrics urge listeners to ponder what kind of world we are leaving behind for future generations. Gazz explores themes of mortality, environmental destruction, and the potential irreversible consequences of humanity's actions.
