Cover art for Secret Garden lyrics by Bruce Springsteen

Morons! This song, like most of Bruce's, is not about prostitutes or sluts, etc. He's filling you in on a basic fact. No matter how well you think you know her; there's a part of her; her 'Secret Garden'; where you will never penetrate. She will not tell you, or let on, but that's that's how it it is. Married 10-20 years, still; you will never enter the "secret garden". Don't like it? TS. Think about becoming Gay. Otherwise; learn to live w/ it. It's as true as the sunrise. Those with alternate theories; wait till your 40 years or older, otherwise, shut your pie holes.

@tbmtb Perfect analysis mate!

I've been married 25 yrs, and you are dead right in what you say. Us mere males will never succeed in exploring the entirety of a woman's soul or meaning. They will forever remain a beautiful mystery, despite our vain efforts to unveil them.
