Original
AMO Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

There was a garden
In the beginning
Before the fall
Before Genesis

There was a tree there
A tree of knowledge
Sophia would insist
You must eat of this

Original sin?
No, I don't think so
Original sinsuality
Original sin?
No, it should be
Original sinsuality
Original sin?
No, I don't think so
Original sinsuality

Yaldaboath
Saklas
I'm calling you
Samael
You are not alone
I say
You are not alone
In your darkness
You are not alone




Baby
You are not alone

Overall Meaning

The opening lines of AMO's song "Original" allude to the biblical story of the Garden of Eden and the tree of knowledge that caused the fall of Adam and Eve. But when the lyrics mention "before Genesis," it suggests a different version of the beginning of the world that predates the Christian Bible. Here, the tree of knowledge is described as Sophia's insistence, a reference to the divine feminine wisdom in early Gnostic texts. The song reframes the narrative of original sin as original sinsuality, arguing against the notion of sexuality as a sinful act from the start.


The chorus repeats the phrase "Original sin?" multiple times, as if questioning its validity. Instead, the song favors "original sinsuality," which the singer doesn't think is a sin. This sentiment reflects the Gnostic belief that the material world isn't inherently evil as Christianity claims. Instead, it's the ignorance of the true spiritual nature that creates the illusion of sin. By acknowledging our innate sexual desire, we can transcend the limited view of our body and embrace the full potential of our existence.


The second half of the song explores the figure of Yaldaboath, an archon or demiurge who created the imperfect world of matter in Gnostic cosmology. Saklas and Samael are also other names for the same entity. The singer reaches out to Yaldaboath in a showing of empathy, saying, "You are not alone in your darkness, baby." The song acknowledges the shadowy parts of existence without condemning them as sinful, and attempts to reconcile opposites by finding common ground.
