“From Eden” is the title song of Hozier’s second EP. He says he wrote it in a tongue-in-cheek way from the point of view of the devil looking at something innocent and seeing it as a missing part. The song tries to woo a woman while admitting that the relationship would be deeply flawed.
[Verse 1]
Babe
There's something tragic about you
Something so magic about you
Don't you agree?
Babe
There's something lonesome about you
Something so wholesome about you
Get closer to me
[Pre-Chorus]
No tired sigh, no rolling eyes
No irony
No "Who cares?," no vacant stare
No time for me
[Chorus]
Honey, you're familiar like my mirror years ago
Idealism sits in prison, chivalry fell on his sword
Innocence died screaming, honey, ask me, I should know
I slithered here from Eden just to sit outside your door
[Verse 2]
Babe
There's something wretched about this
Something so precious about this
Where to begin?
Babe
There's something broken about this
But I might be hoping about this
Oh, what a sin
[Pre-Chorus]
To the strand, a picnic planned
For you and me
A rope in hand for your other man
That hang from a tree
[Chorus]
Honey, you're familiar like my mirror years ago
Idealism sits in prison, chivalry fell on his sword
Innocence died screaming, honey, ask me, I should know
I slithered here from Eden just to sit outside your door
[Instrumental Interlude]
[Chorus]
Honey, you're familiar like my mirror years ago
Idealism sits in prison, chivalry fell on his sword
Innocence died screaming, honey, ask me, I should know
I slithered here from Eden just to hide outside your door
