should i go there?

MOONLANE GARDENS
Castro-Fundales, Orange and Lemons

There's a place where the moon is under the sea

There's a place where the sun's inside a cup of tea

There's a place you can go where no one else has been but me

There's a man on his throne who thinks the world's his own

He would live, he believes he would never be alone

He would dine, he would wine but no one else is there but him

Chorus

Welcome to the garden my friend

This is where your broken heart's mend

Come into the garden my friend

Don't be scared to hold my hand

This is where your loneliness ends

There's a girl in the sky she's laughing as she cries

She is one with the world and she never wants to die

There's a song she would sing that no one understands but her

There's a child who's awake every night and every day

Not a care in the world not a problem what he says

There's a game he would play and he wanted all of you to stay

There's a thought in my head that never goes away

There's a time in my life that is better than today

There's place I would go where no one else has been but me

repeat chorus

This is where your loneliness ends

Moonlane gardens, moonlane gardens

How do we get there (how do we get there)

How do we get there

How do we get there (how do we get there)

How do we get there

lahahahahahahaha

he's the key

(and the key)

lahahahahahahaha

here with me

moonlane gardens

I just love this song. The song is never a direct suggestion of escapism; it is concretely a device of lighting up the smiles that are always hidden caused by anguish and exhaustion. Magic here, in itself, is real. The song has the sense of going away, leaving, and renouncing all pain and hatred, then plunging into a magical world of children playing, of kings, and of beautiful gardens. Basically, as what the song incessantly said, this is a place where our loneliness ends.

But how do we get there? Give me the key.
Where is this garden? Tell me…
for it is where my loneliness ends.
