From Eden Lyrics

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

No tired sighs, no rolling eyes, no irony
No 'who cares', no vacant stares, no time for me

Honey, you're familiar like my mirror years ago
Idealism sits in prison, chivalry fell on its sword
Innocence died screaming, honey, ask me I should know
I slithered here From Eden just to sit outside your door

Babe, there's something wretched about this
Something so precious about this
Oh what a sin

To the strand a picnic plan for you and me
A rope in hand for your other man to hang from a tree

Honey, you're familiar like my mirror years ago
Idealism sits in prison, chivalry fell on its sword
Innocence died screaming, honey, ask me I should know
I slithered here from Eden just to sit outside your door

Honey, you're familiar like my mirror years ago
Idealism sits in prison, chivalry fell on its sword
Innocence died screaming, honey, ask me I should know
I slithered here from Eden just to hide outside your door

From Eden Song Chart

Hozier told The Sun about this track's meaning: "It's a song about idolizing somebody from a distance," he said. "I wrote it jokingly from the perspective of the devil."

Hozier expanded on the song to The Sunday Telegraph: "'From Eden' is spoken from the Devil's point of view," he explained. "I always loved in blues music how the Devil can be a character who walks and talks. So awful is your state that it seems to be a presence around you."

"I don't really spend time thinking about the nature of God," he added, "but I'm interested in what people say about God, how it is used to control people and change policies in the physical realm."
