Gardenia
Landon Pigg Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
I always liked the joke
I always liked the love
And I always liked the smoke
I've never been a poster-child of my days
But I've sent a lot of post cards
And yours is on its way
It kind of hurts to sleep on, but pain's not what I fear
I shiver at the prospect of being just one thing
I missed a lot of targets but never lost my aim
I've done a lot of research
I've read a lot of books
I've turned a lot of pages
I've seen some dirty looks
But I can brave the weather
For a chilly glance from you
'Cause somewhere in the distance
The sun is peeking through
I've always been a flower
I've always been a tree
A cabin in the forest
A blanket on the beach
Never in my whole life
Would I choose just one
I've always loved the moonlight
I've always felt the sun
Somewhere in the middle
Of a sunset and a dream
Is the prettiest gardenia
The prettiest gardenia
The prettiest gardenia
That you've ever seen
In "Gardenia," Landon Pigg expresses his desire to live a life full of adventure and variety. He highlights the fact that he has never been a model citizen or a conformist, and although he may have missed some targets, he never lost his aim. Pigg talks about his willingness to explore new things, and he compares himself to various objects, such as flowers, trees, and a cabin in the forest, thereby emphasizing his belief that he doesn't want to be defined by one label or ideology.
He also mentions that he has always appreciated the beauty of life, from the love and the drama to the smoke and the postcards. His lyrics also suggest that his desire for new experiences is fueled by his longing for a glance from someone he admires. The beauty he sees in the world echoes the pleasure he takes in that gaze from across the room. The way he describes the sun peeking through suggests that he sees new forms of beauty as a reward after stumbling through hardships on the path to love, and the gardenia he references is the most wonderful thing he has ever seen.
Overall, "Gardenia" is a song that is about living life to the fullest, being open to new experiences and learning, and finding beauty in the midst of the complexities of life. It is a song about embracing the unexpected and finding joy in everyday life.
