“Welcome To Eden” was rerecorded for the Wild Honey Pie Buzzsession EP, providing an updated recording of the track since its initial 2016 release. Wild Honey Pie reviewer Brigid Moser spoke fondly of the performance upon its release:
In her Buzzsession, Samia immediately displays the breathtaking...
[Verse 1]
God boy gets up and he talks to his friends in the mirror
And he sees my mouth moving where his should be
Telling him he is too big for his body
That he's got the antidote America needs
And so I'm talking about drugs and their adverse effects
Like people do when they've lost a friend
But I think it was me and not the drugs in the end
'Cause God knows I have lost myself a veritable few of them
[Chorus 1]
Don't let me give you my light it will blind you
I'll love you and leave you there searching to find you
Ain't that what they say at the meetings for those in my wake
Well I thought I was Eve but I guess I'm the snake
[Verse 2]
My sister is dead and it's due to my negligence
I buried her good on a New England beach
And I'll love her forever but how could she know
When I look in her grave and her cold fingers reach up and
Rachel, I'm sorry for calling you by the wrong name
It was just a suggestion but now
It's a small fundamentalist cult-style religion
From which you're relieved when you take things away from me
[Chorus 2]
Babe, full disclosure I'm siding with you
When you said that I left you for dead it was true
So allow me to host the last meeting for those in my wake
Welcome to Eden folks
I'll be your snake
