Statues in the Garden (Arras) Lyrics

He wants it all
It's not enough
He feel the walls around him and he's climbing up
He takes the shot
He lines it up
And then he thinks about the consequences of
You're only just
A memory of
I know that's hard to hear, to say it's hard enough

Ooh, Lord
No, I can't let it go (ooh)
My world turning outside in
Statues in the garden, garden, garden, garden

Ooh-ooh-hoo
Ooh-ooh-hoo
Ooh-ooh
Ooh-ooh

I can't slow down, not for a moment
Even if I wanted to
To find some time to think or even better (ooh-ooh-hoo, ooh-ooh-hoo)
Not to even think at all (ooh-ooh, ooh-oh)

Ooh, Lord
No, I can't let it go (ooh)
My world turning outside in
Statues in the garden, garden, garden, garden

Ooh, Lord
No, I can't let it go (ooh)
My world turning outside in
Statues in the garden, garden, garden, garden

Ooh-ooh-hoo
Ooh-ooh-hoo
Ooh-ooh
Ooh-ooh

Ooh-ooh-hoo
Ooh-ooh-hoo
Ooh-ooh
Ooh-ooh

Ooh-ooh-hoo
Ooh-ooh-hoo
Ooh-ooh
Ooh-ooh

Ooh-ooh-hoo
Ooh-ooh-hoo
Ooh-ooh
Ooh-ooh

What is the Meaning of Statues in the Garden (Arras)?

Exploring themes of ambition, introspection, and the struggle for control, this song delves into the internal conflict of wanting more while grappling with the consequences. The protagonist is depicted as someone who is perpetually driven ("He wants it all / It's not enough"), yet finds himself constrained by his own actions and decisions ("He feel the walls around him"). The repeated imagery of "statues in the garden" symbolizes a state of being frozen or stuck amidst growth and beauty, reflecting an inner turmoil where progress feels hindered. The refrain "No, I can't let it go" underscores his inability to release these burdens, leading to a world that feels inverted and chaotic. Ultimately, the song captures a poignant moment of self-awareness and the relentless pursuit of fulfillment amidst existential challenges.
