"Gethsemane" is the garden where Christ was betrayed. The song is about starting off with high hopes and being remorselessly ground down by life until you're a shambling old man with a brain tumour wondering what the hell happened. In the song, Gethsemane is the name of a fictional everytown and Cadie is a fictional body of water, so the setting is wherever you want it to be.
