Garden
Kylie Spence Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
You, you painted me blue
Now I, don't know what to do
You, you left my heart red
Like you, left all the messages I sent
But I still pick every petal off
Just to get things started, to see if
Do you love me, Do you love me not
Do you love me, Do you love me not
But I’m stupid, cause I’ve always known the answer
That I’m only gonna chase after you
But you don't even see me my roots are buried so deep
In your Garden
You, you make me so mad
Cause you, don't water seeds I plant
And I, can't get over the fact
That you, don't even give a damn
But I still pick every petal off
Every perfect flower in your garden
Just to get things started, to see if
Do you love me, Do you love me not
Do you love me, Do you love me not
But I’m stupid, cause I’ve always known the answer
That I’m only gonna chase after you
But you don't even see me my roots are buried so deep
In your Garden
The lyrics to the song "Garden" by Kylie Spence are all about unrequited love and the frustration that comes with it. The persona in the song is hopelessly in love with someone who doesn't seem to notice her. The lyrics are written in a beautifully poetic way, with strong imagery that helps the listener understand the emotional turmoil of the persona.
The opening lines, "You, you painted me blue/Now I, don't know what to do" suggest that the persona has been hurt by this person and is struggling to deal with the resulting emotions. The bright and vivid image of blue paint is a powerful metaphor for the pain and sadness that the persona is feeling. The persona describes how the object of her affection has "left my heart red/Like you, left all the messages I sent". This suggests that the persona has been waiting for a response to her messages and has been left hanging. The use of colours throughout the song is very effective, as the different colours paint a picture of the emotional journey of the persona.
One of the most powerful lines in the song is "But I’m stupid, cause I’ve always known the answer/That I’m only gonna chase after you". This reveals the inner conflict of the persona who knows that her love is unrequited but still can't help herself from trying. The metaphor of the garden is also very interesting, as the persona describes herself as a flower in the object of her affection's garden. This suggests that the persona feels powerless and trapped, unable to escape the object of her love.
Overall, "Garden" is a beautifully written song that captures the pain and frustration of unrequited love in a raw and honest way. The lyrics are full of powerful imagery and metaphors that help the listener understand the emotional journey of the persona.

You, you painted me blue
You made me feel sad and blue
Now I, don't know what to do
I feel lost and unsure of how to move forward
You, you left my heart red
You left me with a broken heart
Like you, left all the messages I sent
You ignored my attempts to communicate with you
But I still pick every petal off
I still try to find out if you love me or not
Every perfect flower in your garden
Everything that is perfect about you
Just to get things started, to see if
To see if there's still a chance for us
Do you love me, Do you love me not
I'm trying to figure out if you still have feelings for me
But I’m stupid, cause I’ve always known the answer
I know deep down that you don't love me anymore
That I’m only gonna chase after you
I'll continue to pursue you even though I know it's pointless
But you don't even see me my roots are buried so deep
You don't even notice how much I care for you
In your Garden
In your life or heart
You, you make me so mad
Your actions frustrate me
Cause you, don't water seeds I plant
You don't support my efforts or dreams
And I, can't get over the fact
I can't move past how you treat me
That you, don't even give a damn
You don't care about me at all
