The number 5 slot for this album was held by a song called The Devil for a very long time. A month before the album was released, the band decided to scrap that song and make another song similar to Simple You to ensure a more poppy vibe in the first half of the album. Unlike Simple You, the lyrics for this song took a lot more time to develop. Hopefully someone can appreciate the symbolic vignettes in it. Sartious buckled down and got the song done in a month. Realistically speaking, I would say this is a taste of how Album 3 may partially turn out. Human condition: Relationship.
lyrics
I
know a place where we can rest
Away
Far away from this tangled mess
where fruit
weightlessly dances off the tree
and snakes,
are carved in stone, they're just scenery
Winding pathways all tinted green
As we make our way across
Where the world still holds some mystery
In the garden of our love
Far away from stressed city streets
Where all the noise is soft
Blooming brings serenity
In the garden of our love
Wind
Carries our words like seeds
and Earth
A common ground for you and me
and sun dripping through the leaves
warmth that brings some energy
and rain dripping similarly
needed for balance and purity
Winding pathways all tinted green
As we make our way across
Where the world still holds some mystery
In the garden of our love
Far away from stressed city streets
Where all the noise is soft
Blooming brings serenity
In the garden of our love
We get wrapped up in feeling
as the flower petals close
guided by the moon its us
and the garden of our love.
