Wrong
Eden Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

But I could be more
Isn't there more?
Don't you dream of forgetting this?
Have we forgotten what we want?
Counting the wars and broken bones
Haven't we lost enough already?
Isn't this more than what it's worth?
Have we forgotten where we came from?
Long way from laying in the dirt
And if I can only dream of up from down there
God, help me, I'll be gone




Have I lost sight of everything I've worked for?
Did I get this all wrong?

Overall Meaning

The lyrics of Eden's "Wrong" portray a sense of disillusionment and uncertainty about the future. The first few lines highlight the singer's desire for something more, perhaps indicating they are feeling unfulfilled or unsatisfied with their current circumstances. This is reinforced by the questioning of whether they have forgotten what they want, and if the current situation is more than what it's worth. The singer then reflects on the past, noting the wars and broken bones, and questions whether we have already lost enough. The line "Have we forgotten where we came from?" adds to the sentiment of the piece as the singer reflects on their roots and past experiences.


The second half of the song turns inward, as the singer expresses doubts about their own actions and decisions. They consider whether they have lost sight of what they have worked towards and question whether they got it all wrong. This internal conflict is expressed in the lines "And if I can only dream of up from down there, God, help me, I'll be gone," which perhaps indicate a feeling of being trapped and unable to escape. Overall, the lyrics of "Wrong" convey a sense of existential angst and a struggle to find purpose and meaning in life.

isn’t there more?
don’t you dream of forgetting this
have we forgotten what we want
counting the wars and broken bones
haven’t we lost enough already
isn’t this more than what it’s worth
have we forgotten where we came from
long way from laying in the dirt
and if i can only dream of up from down there
god help me i’ll be gone
have i lost sight of everything i’ve worked for
did i get this all wro-

@Jae Moody in my opinion the song needs a remix with a 2nd verse. this song takes me so high just to smack me back to earth unexpectedly

Here I am again feelings lost and without any sense of meaning in life, and here comes this fricking album. Eden is a miracle isn't it?
