"But even sitting in the garden one can still get stung"
I think the garden is an allusion to a safe place; even when you're comfortable and think that nothing can hurt you, you may very well be wrong. Cosidering that this album has an introverted perspective, it probably means that certain situations can come and haunt you from the past, for example, basically foreshadowing the next song. In "Bring My Family Back" there is a part when a guy (the father) is married, has kids and works hard, yet the sex is unsatisfying, the job is tiring... and basically his intrinsic emptyness destroys who he is and his relationship with his family.
