Savage Garden

Australian pop duo

Savage Garden was an Australian pop duo active in the late 1990s, known for melodic hits like "Truly Madly Deeply" and "I Knew I Loved You." The name suggests a place where beauty and brutality coexist—Eden with thorns.

Outside this context, a savage garden describes any environment that appears idyllic but conceals danger or cruelty.
