Tear Garden Lyrics

Cover art for Tear Garden lyrics by IAMX

I saw bright, open common sense I do evil things and evil things return And I'm praying now Praying for me

You can't hide I remove from you Every tiny strength in everything you do And I'll kick you down I'll break you with a tender touch

Then the tears cried in the tear garden will be for life

In the west they have made a plague We have built the ship that sailed it to our veins And God forbid Anything should break that chain

At our root, we are connected through A biology, a universal cruelty Send me home Return me to a lonely womb

...

(according to the insert.)

thanx

This song is a little bit of a play on words with german.

'Tier' is german for animal, which sounds like tear. 'Tiergarten' is german for Zoo (animal garden)

So, This song is about animals, and zoos, being trapped etc.

The imagery is quite clear: 'Break chains' 'animals crying in zoo' 'a biology'

It all makes sense! - The video has animals in it too.

Hope this helps.
