Garden
Utro Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Я иду за тобой, ветер толкает меня
Видишь ворота, в сад
Тугой воротник впитывает пот со лба
Как земля родит дерево, ветер выбьет окно
За наказанием - прощение, за падением - боль
Как земля родит дерево, ветер выбьет окно
За наказанием - прощение, за падением - боль
Страхи уйдут и дождем разразится осенний день
Страхи уйдут и придут твои сестры с руками в земле
Страхи уйдут и дождем разразится осенний день
The lyrics of Utro's song "Garden" are open to multiple interpretations, but they predominantly convey a sense of following someone towards uncertainty and potential danger. The first two lines suggest that the singer is pursuing someone, who is walking ahead at a faster pace. The mention of wind pushing the singer raises the possibility that this pursuit is happening in an open space like a garden, which is the most likely subject matter of the song.
The fourth line mentions a "tight collar" absorbing sweat from the forehead, which could metaphorically represent the stress and strain of the pursuit. The next two lines about earth birthing a tree and wind breaking a window are seemingly unrelated, but they probably symbolize natural forces causing destruction and renewal at the same time.
The following lines suggest that the singer somehow wants to make amends for their past mistakes, which is indicated by the mention of punishment and forgiveness. Then, the last four lines introduce the idea of sisters and rain, which could serve as symbols of renewal and healing. The song overall is a contemplation of the cycle of life and death, forced relationships, and the natural forces that cause both.
