Tear Garden Lyrics

Cover art for Tear Garden lyrics by IAMX

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.
