Can you see like a child?
Can you see what I want?
I wanna run through your wicked garden
Heard that's the place to find ya
Cause I'm alive So alive now
I know the darkness blinds you

Can you see without eyes?
Can you speak without lies?
I wanna drink from your naked fountain
i can drown your sorrows
I'm gonna burn Burn you to life now
Out of the chains that bind you

Can you see just like a child?
Can you see just what I want?
Can I bring you back to life?
Are you still alive?

Burn
Burn your wicked garden down
Burn your wicked garden to the ground

Can you feel pain inside?
Can you love?
Can you cry?
I wanna run through your wicked garden
Heard that's the place to find ya
Cause I'm alive So Alive now
I know the darkness blinds you

Can you see just like a child?
Can you see just what I want?
Can I bring you back to life?
Are you still alive?

Burn

    My Opinion:This is one of the best STP songs for sure. My personal opinion is it was written after a long and scary drug induced nightmare. If you have ever been in the thrawls of a deep drug trip these are the types of thoughts that creep into your mind and they make complete sense in the frame of mind you are in at the time. The Wicked Garden is exactly that, a dead and decaying garden of darkness and pure hell. People can see without eyes, living and/or living dead are and Weiland is passing through this garden of evil and making observations of what he sees, deciding that in fact he is not scared or frightened by the experience but instead energized and awakened. Thoughts like this can only come from the subconscious mind in which an alternate reality makes perfect sense.

    General Comment:this song is about weed and being high as fuck on it
    wicked garden = a stash of good weed


    can you see like a child - when your stoned you laugh alot and at everything like a child

    i wanna run through your wicked garden - ok wicked garden is your stash of weed... probaly about a half ounce or something of it. i want to you run through your wicked garden means i want to get on your level and be as high as you are

    can you speak without lies - when your high you say alot of dumbshit for self amusement that isnt true

    i wanan drink from your naked fountain - passing around the peace pipe among friends

    are you scared of life - the reason you are getting high in the first place. to escape reality


    cmon people. everyone in their 20's should know this!!
