*garden*

lyrics by eddie "the mac" vedder, music by jeff "the daddy mac" ament and stone "the mac daddy" gossard


She don't wander in here. Don't wander in here. She, she don't wander in here. Don't wander in here.

The direction of the eye. So misleading.
The defection of the soul. Nauseously quick.
I don't question our existence.
I just question our modern needs.

She don't wander in here. Don't wander in here. She, she don't wander in here.

I will walk with my hands bound. I will walk with my face blood.
I will walk with my shadow flag into your garden. Garden of stone. Yeah.

After all is done and we're still alone. I won't be taken.
Yet I'll go with my hands bound. I will walk with my face blood.
I will walk with my shadow flag into your garden. Garden of stone. Yeah.

I don't show. I don't share. I don't need, yeah, what you have to give. Yeah.

Ooh, I will walk with my hands bound. I will walk with my face blood.
I will walk with my shadow flag into your garden, garden. Oh.
I will walk with my hands bound. I will walk into your garden. Garden of stone.

I don't know. I don't care. I don't need, yeah, for me to live. Yeah, yeah.
Uh huh huh...

damn, I've been wondering about that line for like 10 years now....it's good to know that I'm not the only one that when I hear that line I'm like, wtf?

I think that maybe it could be like a 'white flag' of surrender to her despite his denial?
