Eden
Red Delicious Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
God looks down on us and he knows
We were not made from his clay
We are seperate from him
We produce a strange fruit
Tough skinned and bitter inside
Between us it grows
What it implies, we don't acknowledge
All is good in the garden
With the moon on our skin
And the cold earth beneath us
Your breath is warm
All is fine in the night shade
With the grass underneath our backs
Staring up at the endless sky
It feels alright
We are ageless, eternal
Your skin never changes, it's so tight
I'm obsessed with your movements
I'll never let you out of my sight
We consume one another
Like a fire that feeds itself
We were made for each other
There's no one else, we don't discuss it
All is good in the garden
With the moon on our skin
And the cold earth beneath us
Your breath is warm
All is fine in the night shade
With the grass underneath our backs
Staring up at the endless sky
It feels alright
Nowhere for you to stray, no such thing as temptation
One kiss can fill a day with sweet anticipation
All is good in the garden
With the moon on our skin
And the cold earth beneath us
Your breath is warm
All is fine in the night shade
With the grass underneath our backs
Staring up at the endless sky
It feels alright
All is good, all is good
We have enough of everything, you and I
The song "Eden" by Red Delicious seems to be an ode to a perfect, idyllic relationship between two people. The lyrics suggest that they are separate from God, but in some way, they seem to exist in their own universe, entirely self-contained. "We produce a strange fruit," the singer notes, "Tough skinned and bitter inside/Between us it grows/What it implies, we don't acknowledge." The use of the phrase "strange fruit" may be a reference to the famous Billie Holiday song of the same name, which is about the lynching of Black Americans in the US South. However, in this context, it seems to refer to something that is blossoming between the two people, something they don't fully understand or recognize.
The singer goes on to describe the garden they inhabit, a place where "all is good" and they are ageless and eternal. The descriptions of the moon on their skin and the cold earth underneath them creates an atmosphere that is both sensual and otherworldly. The two people seem to be completely consumed by one another, and the singer notes, "We were made for each other/There's no one else, we don't discuss it." There is a sense of total contentment and satisfaction in this relationship, as if they are in a state of perpetual bliss.
The song seems to be exploring the idea of a perfect relationship, one that exists outside of societal norms and expectations. The use of the phrase "Eden" in the title is significant, as it suggests a return to a state of innocence and purity that may no longer exist in the contemporary world. The lyrics are ambiguous enough that they could be interpreted in a number of different ways, but the overall effect is one of dreamy, romantic idealism.

Oh? I never know was part of a movie soundtrack too. I just picked up the album because randomly heard one of the songs and then bought the album. I might go check out that movie and see what it was about.
