Eve
Brazen Abbot Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
The same old thought my mind is burning
How am I gonna live when Eve is gone
I listen to the empty garden
There are no birds to sing her stardom
The sun will never shine, what have I done?
The sun won't shine
The seven seas I'd sail blindfolded
A mountain high I'd climb one-handed
The darkest skies I'd fly if it'd change her mind
But even if we're strong and wise
We never come to realize
Our best means often nothing to the blind
Why does it hurt so
When someone leaves?
What makes a man cry like a child
Down on his knees?
Why can't some people understand
And feel the love in our hearts
Why don't I want to carry on
When Eve is gone
Life can be so cruel I know
Turn your head along the flow
And three years of your life have passed you by
Funny when you love the other
You can get so blind, I gather
Nothing is forever love can die...
Of broken heart my tears will die
I'll never smile or laugh or cry
The stars I sent won't whisper, asking you why?
But still in love I send this song
I hope it finds you safe and strong
At last I found the strength to say goodbye...
The lyrics of Brazen Abbot’s song Eve are about the heartbreak of losing someone you love and the pain that one has to endure when the person they love leaves them. The singer wakes up in the morning, and the first thing on his mind is the fact that Eve has gone. He listens to the garden, only to find that the place is empty as the birds that normally chirp in her honor have left her absence. He’s left with the reminder that the sun will never shine without her, leaving him with a feeling of emptiness and despair.
The singer goes on to lament that he would do anything and go to any length to win her back. It doesn’t matter that he’s willing to sail the seven seas blindfolded, climb mountains one-handed, or even fly through the darkest skies to change her mind. Yet, in the end, he realizes that even the best of intentions and efforts can mean nothing to someone who can’t see. The fact that he loves her and wants her back doesn’t matter if she doesn’t feel the same way, leaving him with a sense of helplessness.
The song concludes with the singer accepting that life can be harsh, and even though his heart is broken, he has to move on. As he says goodbye to Eve, he leaves her with a song which he hopes finds her safe and strong, telling her that he has finally found the strength to move on. The song’s emotional charge and the message it carries can resonate with anyone who has gone through a heartbreak.
Line by Line Meaning
With tired eyes I greet the morning
Starting a new day reluctantly
The same old thought my mind is burning
Obsessing over the same problem
How am I gonna live when Eve is gone
Struggling to imagine life without Eve
I listen to the empty garden
The world feels empty without Eve
There are no birds to sing her stardom
Without Eve, the world loses its shine
The sun will never shine, what have I done?
Feeling responsible for Eve's departure
The seven seas I'd sail blindfolded
Willing to go to great lengths for Eve
A mountain high I'd climb one-handed
Willing to take on any challenge for Eve
The darkest skies I'd fly if it'd change her mind
Desperate to win Eve back
But even if we're strong and wise
Even the strongest and wisest sometimes fail
We never come to realize
We often miss what's right in front of us
Our best means often nothing to the blind
Sometimes our efforts go unnoticed or unappreciated
Why does it hurt so
Wondering why heartbreak is so painful
When someone leaves?
When someone we love departs from our lives
What makes a man cry like a child
Heartbreak can bring even the strongest to tears
Down on his knees?
Feeling powerless and defeated
Why can't some people understand
Frustration that others can't empathize
And feel the love in our hearts
Wishing others could feel the depth of one's love
Why don't I want to carry on
Feeling lost and hopeless without Eve
When Eve is gone
Life loses its meaning without Eve
Life can be so cruel I know
Acknowledging how harsh life can be
Turn your head along the flow
Going with the current of life's challenges
And three years of your life have passed you by
Feeling like time is slipping away
Funny when you love the other
Love can be confusing and irrational
You can get so blind, I gather
Love can make it hard to see clearly
Nothing is forever love can die...
Accepting that love doesn't always last
Of broken heart my tears will die
Heartbreak feels never-ending
I'll never smile or laugh or cry
Feeling permanently numb
The stars I sent won't whisper, asking you why?
Realizing there are no easy answers
But still in love I send this song
Expressing love through music
I hope it finds you safe and strong
Wishing the best for Eve
At last I found the strength to say goodbye...
Accepting that it's time to let go
