“Eden” is a song based off of the first three chapters of the Book of Genesis from the Holy Bible. The title is a reference to the Garden of Eden, a paradise-like place where the first man and woman (Adam and Eve) stayed during those chapters. In the song, Derivakat twists Eve’s perspective to that...
[Intro]
(Eden)
(Hah-oh-oh)
(Hmm-mmm-mmm, mmm)
(Hmm-mmm-mmm-mmm)
[Verse 1]
Clueless man in a woman's world
Human nature makes him that way (Makes him that way)
Snakes and sinners, smoke and mirrors
But why am I the one that has to pay? (Has to pay)
We were living in a garden made for two (Made for two)
But two is one too many, and he doesn't understand
When he crushes all the flowers that I grew (That I grew)
I want him off this land (Off this land)
[Pre-Chorus]
I just want Eden (Eden) (Hmm-hmm)
I just want Eden (Eden) (Hmm-hmm) from here on out
I don't need him (Hmm-hmm)
Just Eve and Eden (Hmm-hmm)
I just want Eden (Eden) (Hmm-hmm)
I gave my reasons (Hmm-hmm) why I want him out
I don't need him (Hmm-hmm)
Just Eve and Eden (Hmm-hmm)
[Chorus]
'Cause he's nothing but a liar (Liar)
Caught up in his own desire (Desire)
He started this fire (Oh-oh-oh-oh)
So let him fall in flames (Fall in flames)
You know he's the one to blame (One to blame)
He was never worthy (Worthy)
And all he did was use me (Use me), hurt me, he never deserved me
(Ah-ah-ah-ah-ah, yeah)
So let him fall from grace (Fall from grace)
Away from this place (Oh-oh-oh-oh) and leave me with Eden
[Post-Chorus]
Oh-oh (Hah-oh-oh)
Just leave me with Eden (Hmm-mmm-mmm, mmm)
Hmm-mmm, mmm (Hmm-mmm-mmm-mmm)
[Verse 2]
He was once my garden, baby, he had my heart
But all he did was tear it up and now it's overgrown with weeds
Can't you see-ee?
He always left me feeling shackled, every day was like a battle
Took a bite out of the apple 'cause he's used up all his time
And I want him out my li-ife
[Pre-Chorus]
I just want Eden (Eden) (Hmm-hmm)
I just want Eden (Hmm-hmm-mmm) from here on out (Here on out)
I don't need him (Hmm-hmm-hmm)
Just Eve and Eden (Hmm-hmm-hmm)
I just want Eden (Hmm-hmm-hmm) (I just want Eden)
I gave my reasons why I want him out
I don't need him (Hmm-hmm) (I don't need him)
Just Eve and Eden (Hmm-hmm) (Eve and Eden)
[Chorus]
'Cause he's nothing but a liar (Liar) (He's nothing but a liar)
Caught up in his own desire (Desire) (Desire)
He started this fire (Oh-oh-oh-oh) (He started this fire)
So let him fall in flames (Fall in flames)
You know he's the one to blame (One to blame) (Know he's the one to blame)
He was never worthy (Worthy) (He was never worthy)
And all he did was use me (Use me), hurt me, he never deserved me (Ah-ah-ah-ah)
So let him fall from grace (Fall from grace)
Away from this place (Oh-oh-oh-oh) and leave me with Eden
[Outro]
Kick him out of paradise (Oh-oh-oh-oh, oh)
Finally, he'll realize (He'll realize)
Too late to apologize to Eden (To Eden, to Eden)
Let the sky be filled with light (Filled with light)
Heal the scars and bloom with life (Bloom with life)
Leave me here and I'll reside with Eden
And I will be fine, just leave me with Eden (Eden)
(Hmm-hmm) Oh-oh (Hmm-hmm) (Oh-oh)
Just leave me with Eden (Hmm-hmm)
Hmm-mmm-mmm-mmm (Hmm-hmm)
