A Remedy
LA SCALTRA Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
The tears have gone in sorrow
When all the tears have flown
The tears have flown in sorrow
When all the fears have gone
The fears have gone to swallow
When all the shades have passed
The shades have passed within decay
When all the tears have gone
The tears have gone in sorrow
When all the tears have flown
The tears have flown in sorrow
When all the mist hast gone
The mist has gone to swallow
When all the clouds have passed
The clouds have passed within decay
Meet me in the garden of decease
In the garden and release me
Meet me in the garden of decease
In the garden and release me
Why did you come here?
What did you expect to find?
Why do you want from me
A Remedy?
When all the tears have gone
The tears have gone in sorrow
When all the tears have flown
The tears have flown in sorrow
When all the fears have gone
The fears have gone to swallow
When all the shades have passed
The shades have passed within decay
Meet me in the garden of decease
In the garden and release me
Meet me in the garden of decease
In the garden and release me
Why did you come here?
What did you expect to find?
Why do you want from me
A Remedy?
The lyrics to La Scaltra's song A Remedy are dark and melancholic, yet the meaning behind them speaks to the very human experience of grief and pain. The repetition of lines such as "When all the tears have gone" and "The tears have flown in sorrow" evoke a feeling of finality, as if the singer is resigned to their own suffering. These lines are followed by "When all the fears have gone" and "The fears have gone to swallow," which builds upon the theme of despair and loss. The repetition of the phrase "Meet me in the garden of decease, in the garden and release me" adds an air of mysticism and suggests a possible desire to find peace in death.
The final lines of the song, "Why did you come here? What did you expect to find? Why do you want from me a remedy?" are directed towards an unknown individual and add a layer of complexity to the lyrics. The singer seems to be questioning the motives of this person, perhaps as they try to offer comfort or solutions to their pain. The use of the word "remedy" implies a desire to find a quick fix for their grief, even though the reality of healing is much more complex and takes time.
