Lyrics

The direction of the eye

The way one looks at things can be misleading or deceptive.

The soul's departure or turning away feels unsettlingly rapid or sudden.

The defection of the soul

There's no doubt about our existence.

Nauseously quick

Questioning the necessities of modern society.

I don't question

There's no inquiry into why we exist.

Our existence

Expressing a willingness to move forward despite being restricted or constrained.

I just question

Ready to move ahead despite facing adversity or injury.

Our modern needs

Willing to advance despite carrying symbols of pain or hardship.


I will walk, with my hands bound

Desire to enter someone else's world despite obstacles.

I will walk, with my face blood

Accepting the situation of being alone after everything.

I will walk, with my shadow flag

Refusing to be dominated, yet still moving forward.

Into your garden

Willingness to enter a challenging or difficult situation.

Garden of stone

Metaphorical reference to a harsh, unyielding environment.


After all is done

Despite everything that's happened, there's a sense of being alone.

And we're still alone

Declaring resilience against being controlled or taken advantage of.

I won't be taken

Despite resisting being taken, still willing to proceed.

Yet I'll go


With my hands bound

Reiteration of the willingness to progress despite constraints.

I will walk, with my face blood

Continued determination despite facing injury.

I will walk, with my shadow flag

Carrying symbols of pain or adversity while moving forward.

Into your garden

Repetition of readiness to enter a challenging situation.

Garden of stone

Reference to an unyielding or tough environment.


I don't show

Choosing not to display one's vulnerabilities.

I don't share

Not willing to share personal aspects or emotions.

I don't need

Rejecting what others have to offer.

What you have to give, yeah

Independence and self-reliance, not depending on what others provide.


I will walk, with my hands bound

Continued determination despite being constrained.

I will walk, with my face blood

Accepting the scars or consequences while moving forward.

I will walk, with my shadow flag

Continued resilience despite carrying symbols of hardship.

Into your garden

Repeated readiness to enter a challenging situation.

Garden of

Reference to an unyielding or tough environment.

I will walk, with my hands bound

Reiteration of moving forward despite constraints.

I will walk, into your garden

Intent to enter a challenging or harsh situation.

Garden of stone

Metaphorical reference to a difficult or unyielding environment.

I don't know

I don't care

Indifference towards external opinions or judgments.

I don't need you for me to live

Self-reliance and independence, not needing others to survive.
