The Gardener
Embracing the Darkness: A Musical Journey of Love and Reflection
Lyrics
Can we listen to the song on the radio?
Expressing a desire to listen to a particular song on the radio.
I don't wanna talk, don't wanna talk
Emphasizing a reluctance to engage in conversation.
I can't make the words fall out my mouth
Difficulty verbalizing thoughts or feelings.
Sitting on top of the record player is the letter I wrote, but I'll never even send it you know?
Not sending a written letter placed on the record player.
I don't expect to hear from you
Having no expectations of communication from the other person.
All the pretty faces I see on the telephone, I'm starting not to care about a single one
Growing indifferent to attractive faces on the telephone.
Again we come
Repetition of a previous line, suggesting a recurring situation.
I saw your photo online today, posing with a plant you looked so cute so whole
Observing a photo online, appreciating the person's appearance.
Oh my
Expressing surprise or admiration ("Oh my").
Let the rain fall in, I'll water your garden
Metaphorically offering support and care through the act of watering a garden.
I'll take care of you, we'll embrace the darkness
Committing to supporting and facing challenges together.
I feel like we're living right in the golden hour
Sensing a positive and serene phase in the relationship ("golden hour").
Always see you shine, always see you shining so bright
Acknowledging the partner's consistent brightness or positivity.
You are the sun
Metaphorically describing the partner as a radiant and central figure ("sun").
I can make my way over to the city now, I won't make it home tonight or tomorrow
Indicating a willingness to travel to the city but unable to return home soon.
I'll see you in my dreams
Expressing a desire to meet the person in dreams, possibly when apart.
Way too many nights I lose sleep over everything
Experiencing sleepless nights due to overthinking.
When it's all combined, it's not cut and dry, my mind goes
Describing the complexity of thoughts, not easily categorized ("not cut and dry").
Thinking back to all the mistakes I made
Reflecting on past mistakes and their impact.
I finally found a way to come to terms with myself
Finding a resolution or acceptance with oneself.
Let the rain fall in, I'll water your garden
Reiteration of offering support and care through rain symbolism.
I'll take care of you, we'll embrace the darkness
Recommitting to support and face challenges together, embracing difficulties.
Let the rain fall in, I'll water your garden
Repetition of the act of caring and nurturing through rain symbolism.
