Lyrics

Walk across the garden in the footsteps of my shadow

Walking in the path of my own shadow, symbolic of following one's own journey or past.

See the lights out, no one's home

Observing that there are no signs of life or activity in the place being visited.

In amongst the statues stare at nothing, in the garden moves

Amidst sculptures or still figures, looking at nothing while motion exists in the garden.

Can you help me?

Seeking assistance or support.


Close my eyes and hold so tightly

Shutting eyes tightly, potentially to avoid facing or confronting fears.

Scared of what the morning brings

Fearful or apprehensive about what the future holds.

Waiting for tomorrow, never comes

Awaiting a tomorrow that never arrives, suggesting a sense of stagnation or hopelessness.

Deep inside the empty feeling

Experiencing a profound sense of emptiness or void within.

All the nighttime leaves me

Feeling abandoned or left alone during the nighttime.

Three imaginary boys

Reference to three fictional or imagined boys, possibly symbolizing aspects of the singer's inner world or psyche.


Slipping through the door, hear my heartbeat in the hallway

Entering a space, perceiving one's own heartbeat echoing in the hallway.

Echoes round and round, inside my head

Hearing reverberations inside one's mind, indicating a haunting or persistent thought.

Drifting up the stairs I see the steps behind me disappearing

Ascending the stairs while noticing that the steps taken are disappearing, hinting at a sense of uncertainty or loss.

Can you help me?

Seeking help or assistance again.


Close my eyes and hold so tightly

Closing eyes tightly, similar to line 6, hinting at an attempt to shut out fear or unwanted thoughts.

Scared of what the morning brings

Expressing fear or anxiety about the uncertainties of the future.

Waiting for tomorrow, never comes

Continually waiting for a future that doesn't materialize.

Deep inside the empty feeling

Experiencing a deep sense of inner emptiness or loneliness.

All the nighttime leaves me

Feeling abandoned or isolated during the nighttime.

Three imaginary boys sing in my

The three imaginary boys continue to sing within the singer's mind or consciousness.

Sleep sweet child

A comforting phrase directed at oneself or another, suggesting solace or peace during sleep.

The moon will change your mind

The moon's influence changing thoughts or perceptions.


See the cracked reflection standing still before the bedroom mirror

Seeing a fractured image of oneself in the bedroom mirror.

Over my shoulder but no one's there

Sensing a presence or feeling watched despite no one being physically present.

Whispers in the silence pressing close behind me, pressing close behind

Hearing murmurs or suggestions in the silence that seem to follow closely behind.

Can you help me?

Seeking help or assistance, repeated from earlier lines, indicating persistent feelings of vulnerability or need.


Can you help me?

Repeated plea for help, possibly indicating desperation or a deep longing for assistance.

Can you help me?

Continued pleading for assistance, emphasizing the urgency or intensity of the need.

Can you help me?

Another fervent plea for help, underscoring the singer's distress or sense of being lost and alone.
