Graveyard
Whispers of Love and Loss: Unveiling the Secrets in 'Graveyard'
Lyrics
If you go walking in the land between my arms
Walking through the space between my arms may lead you to a graveyard.
You will find a graveyard, little graveyard
Describing the graveyard as small or insignificant.
Since no light shines there, I'm afraid you'll come to harm
Warning about potential danger in the graveyard due to darkness.
In the holes you find there, and the ground is cold and hard
Highlighting the harsh and unforgiving nature of the graveyard's ground.
And I walk with rings and roses
Using symbols like rings and roses, possibly signifying love or commitment.
Speaking like a child
Speaking in a childlike manner, suggesting innocence or vulnerability.
You don't know cause I might send you
Hinting at a hidden aspect or undisclosed information.
Where love-light never smiled
Suggesting a place devoid of love or happiness.
Green little graveyard, grim little graveyard
Reiterating the graveyard's small and grim nature.
If you should climb dear, take a look behind my eyes
Encouraging exploration with a cautionary message to look beyond appearances.
Someone you will find there, in a wedding gown she lies
Revealing the presence of someone in a wedding gown within, possibly signifying a past relationship.
Lies all alone
Emphasizing the loneliness of the person lying in the wedding gown.
Alone, dear!
Repeating the theme of solitude and isolation.
No one you would know
Suggesting that the person in the graveyard is unfamiliar or forgotten.
When I'm forgotten, in your newly painted home
Imagining a future state where the speaker is forgotten in someone's newly decorated home.
Keep your eyes alive dear, better check if you're alone
Advising to stay alert and aware in the new surroundings.
Cause I walk with rings and roses
Reiteration of symbols like rings and roses, maintaining a consistent theme.
Speaking like a child
Continuing the childlike and innocent tone in speech.
You don't know, cause I might send you
Repeating the notion of potential consequences if one is not careful.
Where love-light never smiled
Reiterating the absence of love or joy in the described place.
Green little graveyard, grim little graveyard
Final confirmation of the graveyard's small and grim nature.
You don't know, I might send you
Repeating the warning that the speaker might lead someone to an unloving place.
Where love-light never smiled
Concluding with the idea that love-light never shines in the described location.
