Fear Garden

The song 'Fear Garden' by VOCALOID delves into a surreal and eerie world, blending elements of horror and beauty. The lyrics paint a picture of a garden filled with disembodied hands and eyes, creating a macabre yet strangely captivating scene. The repetitive counting at the beginning ('ひとつ、ふたつ、みっつ...') sets a rhythmic, almost hypnotic tone, drawing listeners into this unsettling garden where each 'flower' is a unique, disembodied hand. This imagery suggests a fascination with the grotesque, turning something typically horrifying into an object of beauty.

The chorus, repeating 'きょうふがーでん' (Fear Garden), emphasizes the central theme of fear intertwined with allure. The garden is described as a secret place, one that cannot be escaped or shared with others. This secrecy adds to the song's mystique, suggesting that the garden represents hidden fears or dark desires that are kept private. The line 'だれにもいえないひみつのはなぞの' (a secret garden that cannot be told to anyone) reinforces this idea, making the garden a metaphor for the parts of ourselves that we hide from the world.

The song also plays with the concept of truth and deception. The repeated phrase 'うそようそぜんぶうそなの' (lies, lies, everything is a lie) hints at a deeper layer of meaning, suggesting that the garden's beauty is an illusion, masking something more sinister. This duality between appearance and reality is a common theme in horror, where what seems beautiful or harmless often hides something terrifying. 'Fear Garden' uses this contrast to create a hauntingly beautiful narrative, inviting listeners to explore their own hidden fears and the allure of the unknown.
