Garden
Wilsen Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Couldn't carry the weight of the world on our backs
As the cold fell around, your hands, the heat that I needed
On the bridges we bowed to the ruins and took the town
I drew the clouds, then you made a garden
At times, we don't have the same ideas
But stay falling in line
'Cause I can't see what's nearing
You say "don't try, just greet it
Hold the thought of moving
And we will get what we seize"
Just say it
Say that we'll hold onto this time
Say that we'll hold onto this time
Say that we'll hold onto this time
Say that we'll hold onto this time
After hours, and alone, you count the inches between us
Envelop the space we need to keep us sound
We'll make the paths to get to the garden
Watching the weight of the world pass in bounds
'Cause I can't see what's nearing
You say "don't try, just greet it
Hold the thought of moving
And we will get what we seize"
Just say it
Just say it
Say that we'll hold onto this time
Say that we'll hold onto this time
Say that we'll hold onto this time
Say that we'll hold onto this time
Say that we'll hold onto this time
Say that we'll hold onto this time
Say that we'll hold onto this time
Say that we'll hold onto this time
The opening lines to Wilsen’s song Garden suggests a story of a past journey. The group “only took what was easy” as they “couldn’t carry the weight of the world on our backs”. This sounds as though the band travelled through tough terrain or in challenging conditions but only picked up essential items along the way. However, it’s unclear who the group consists of or what exactly they were travelling for.
As the song progresses, it becomes clear that the lyrics are speaking of a relationship. The line “On the bridges we bowed to the ruins and took the town” could suggest that the couple grew closer through difficult situations. This is followed by the chorus, which consists of a short, simple and powerful statement repeated four times to emphasise its importance, “Say that we’ll hold onto this time”.
A few lines from the second verse end with “We’ll make the paths to get to the garden“. This could suggest that, though the pair’s relationship has faced challenging moments, there is a brighter future for them. The garden could symbolise a place they want to reach together, that has the potential to be beautiful and peaceful if they can figure out how to get there.

Lyrics:
Down on the isles
We only took what was easy
Couldn't carry the weight of the world
On our backs
As the cold fell around
Your hands they keep what they needed
On the bridges we bow to the roots
And took the town
I drew the clouds then you made a garden
At times we don't have the same ideas
Cause I can't see what's near it
You say don't try to scream
Hold the thought of me
We will get what we cease
Just say it
Say that we'll hold onto this time
Say that we'll hold onto this time
Say that we'll hold onto this time
Say that we'll hold onto this time
After hours and alone
You count the inches between us
Envelop the space in me
To keep us sound
We'll make the path to get to the garden
Watching the weight of the world pass by
