Two Knights And Maidens Lyrics
They'd walk together
Out in the gardens
In all kinds of weather
To love them together
Out in the gardens
And they could watch each other
They'd give them potions
And make them see dreams and lights
They laughed at their visions
But outside the garden
Tigers smelled them together
They'd give them potions
And make them see dreams and lights
They thought they were visions
Out in the garden
The maidens watched them together
Ah but for maidens
Who gave to them dreams and lights
In my opinion this is basically a totally normal modern day drama thats been converted into a fairytale
"The knights always pestered the maidens To love them together Out in the gardens And they could watch each other"
its quite naughty really and i basically get that its about two men (the knights) that want to "make love" and watch each other but the women werent comfortable doing that at all.
I might be totally wrong but thats exactly what i get from it i think hes just written a cheeky song in a way that is totally non threatening.
A lesson in respect and unintended consequences.
Maybe I'm misinterpreting it, but I get the impression it's about the differences between men and women, but not in a negative way. They have different plans for each other, but they all get along.
"They all get along." LOL. (Yeah, sometimes I suppose, but the differences between the genders are vast and they haven't changed since the dawn of time.) If we all got along we wouldn't have divorce; wars; domestic abuse; infidelity; etc

@mockingsmile they get along? I think what you mean is „the dudes got eaten by tigers“ as payback for being pests.

I know it has been a while since the last post, but the first one is all wrong. This song could go one of either two ways. 1. This is about the scornfulness of women. meaning that dispite what you do or no matter what measure you goto you can never please a women. I doubt this is what brad intended. So on to #2. This song is about Trust. Meaning that the knights trusted the maidens so that they felt comfortable taking advantage of that trust (The knights always pestered the maidens), but in the end, it was this taking the maidens for granted that led to the knights ending up the plates of the lions (din din) which in it self it another metaphore. But I am sure if you edited 1 and 2 together eventually the true meaning will be found.
@Knox_122 actually, it‘s easy to please women: just don‘t pester them about group sex on a regular basis.

No idea what the true meaning behind the lyrics is but I've always imagined this differently to most. To me it has always brought to mind this idea the maidens were lovers, unable to live together as they want and get rid of the knights without any risk of comeback.
Sick of the constant hassling and pestering from the knights they decided to "kill two knights with the same tiger" so to speak and slipped them the potions so they would trip balls, hallucinate and meet their untimely end not realising the danger nor suffering too much.
The knights believed they were hallucinating when the tigers appeared thereby not getting to safety or being particularly afraid and the maidens feel they've at least allowed them the privilege of seeing dreams, lights and not feeling afraid before being killed. Also always got the sense the maidens enjoyed some level of perverse pleasure in watching all of this unfold before they went back to living and being together in peace for the time being.
Maybe it has something to do with the corrupt illusion of sin for the masculine and feminine natures of mankind. The garden of Eden where they lived together in harmony. (Balanced femininity and masculinity) dreams of Tigers could represent unconscious fears, anxieties, strengths, sexual power suppressed sexual urges,feelings, and tension deep in the subconscious (like the tiger deep in the jungle ) lights meaning bringing into conscious awareness the need to balance ourselves in order to thrive in all conditions. ( “they’d walk together, out in the garden, in ALL kinds of weather.) Men getting more in tune with their sacral energy and discovering new ways of self expression through creativity and women learning it’s okay to explore their sexuality. Everything in moderation, even our desires is okay as long as we don’t use selfish motives to inflict tyranny on others. Also having respect for one’s self can set personal boundaries. Balance, integration of duality. ????????♀️ Just the opinion of a 30 yo gal. That’s the beauty of music. ????
This is a really amazing and beautiful song that holds a special place in my heart, but the one thing that gets me is that it ends on a cliff hanger! We never find out if the knights make it away from the tigers (probably not), and, after the tigers are done with the knights, who knows what they'll do?? No one is safe! Great song, 10 stars.
