The Garden
LA SCALTRA Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Oh I am the mistress of forsaken features
The Garden is calling (calling you)
The Garden is falling (falling through)
I can hear inside your weeping words
I can hide inside my creepy world
Oh I am the mistress of forsaken features
The Garden is calling (calling you)
The Garden is falling (falling through)
The Garden is calling (calling you)
The Garden is falling (falling through)
Come into my garden all my pretty creatures
"The Garden" by La Scaltra is a haunting song that invites the listener to enter a mysterious and foreboding garden. From the first line, the song sets a tone of darkness and danger as the singer welcomes "all [her] pretty creatures" to come inside. The repetition of the chorus, "The Garden is calling (calling you) / The Garden is falling (falling through)," creates a sense of urgency and a feeling that the listener is being pulled into this eerie world against their will.
Throughout the song, there is a sense of duality between the mistress of the garden and the listener. The singer refers to herself as the "mistress of forsaken features," implying that she embodies the dark and twisted elements of the garden. Yet she is also able to sense the listener's emotions, hearing their "weeping words" from within her "creepy world." It's unclear whether the invitation into the garden is a welcome one or a trap, as the lyrics are shrouded in ambiguity and leave much to the imagination.
