渇いた手をもっと
のばして欲しがるように
嘆いた夢を求める奴隷のように
叫んだ絶望は暗い現実を前に
歪んだ願望へ変化を遂げていく
黒い羽根イビツに広げて
新しい世界をこの手で操って
Welcome to Neo Garden 君の為に

理解不能の新しい夜明けさ
Be smile on Neo Garden
それだけでいい
この手はもう裁きを始めている
叫んだ絶望は暗い現実を前に
歪んだ願望へ変化を遂げていく
黒い羽根イビツに広げて
新しい世界をこの手で彩って
Welcome to Neo Garden 君の為に
予測不能の新しい夜明けさ
Be smile on Neo Gardn
それだけでいい
この手はもう裁きを始めている
黒い羽根イビツに広げて
新しい正義をこの手にかざして
Welcome to Neo Garden
君の為に理想郷の新しい夜明けさ
Be smile on Neo Garden

それだけでいい
二人はもう扉を開いている

Overall Meaning

The lyrics of Kirito's song "GARDEN" seem to express the longing for freedom from the chains of despair and slavery. The lines "渇いた手をもっとのばして欲しがるように" and "嘆いた夢を求める奴隷のように" can be interpreted as wanting to stretch out their parched hands and pursue their dreams that they have longed for like slaves. The mention of "叫んだ絶望" and "暗い現実" represent the frustration that one may feel when stuck in a difficult situation, but they don't give up.

However, there is a sense of transformation in the latter part of the lyrics. The lines "黒い羽根イビツに広げて" and "新しい世界をこの手で彩って" indicate that the individual is spreading their black wings and taking control of their life to create a new world with their own hands. The mention of "裁き" and "新しい正義" signify a new order, and with the line "二人はもう扉を開いている," it feels like the individual is ready to open new doors of opportunities and a new beginning.

Overall, the lyrics of "GARDEN" symbolize the struggle of a person who once was a slave to despair and is now taking control of their life by creating a new world with their own hands, symbolized by the thriving "Neo Garden."
