The Garden
Solander Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
To see you dancing, see it all in you
We're coming on only to see you dying
To see you gather the ones you are the most
Everyone i know has given me an answer
Has given me answers
Things i don't want to know
I don't know but i think we have to walk
I don't know but i think we have to walk
I'm coming down to see what the hawk will doing, rise again
All that i have was taken from me
So grandpa think better now
When you're always coming down
When the wife that you ones knew
Is calling someones name
And the garden that you were going
Is never to be found
Yeah the garden that you were growing
Is never to be found, to be found
We're coming up only to see you rising
To see you dancing, see it all in you
Everyone i know has given me an answer
Has given me answers
Things i don't want to know
The lyrics to Solander's song, "The Garden," are full of rich imagery about life and death, journeys and emotions, and the complexities of human experience. The song begins with the lines, "We're coming up only to see you rising/ To see you dancing, see it all in you," indicating a joyous celebration of life and the beauty of being alive. The lyrics go on to describe the desire to witness both the sacred moments of growth and the tragic moments of death in life. The lines "We're coming on only to see you dying/ To see you gather the ones you are the most" suggest a bittersweet acceptance of the inevitable end of life, and a hope to surround oneself with loved ones as that end approaches.
Solander's lyrics are also full of references to the uncertainty of life and the inevitability of change. The line "I don't know but I think we have to walk/ I'm coming down to see what the hawk will doing, rise again" suggests a sense of both confusion and anticipation, as though the singer is unsure what the future holds but is ready to face it head-on. Later in the song, the lyrics take a more melancholy turn, as they describe the loss of something cherished. "All that I have was taken from me/ So grandpa think better now" speaks to the sadness of losing something once treasured, whether it be love, life, or a beloved garden. The song concludes with a repetition of the opening lines, emphasizing the cyclical nature of life and the beauty to be found in both the joys and sorrows of existence.

Grandfather, consider your actions wisely
When you're always coming down
When you always experience setbacks
When the wife that you ones knew
When the woman you once knew, your wife
Is calling someones name
Is calling out another's name
