Eden Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

And this is just another sad song
I can't deny that I've been needing one
And that the world is always our fault
When we did nothing, how did we do wrong?
And I've been thinking that when we thought
The world would break us, that we weren't wrong
But it's just never been the world outside
And sonder kind of has me terrified

And I'm so sorry I can't find the time
Spent all my days over-preocupied
And I've been thinkin' 'bout how I'd react
If you were me and I was ghosted at
And I know I should try more
But I've been so caught in my own small shit that I can't see
That's nothing around me here

But I've been trying really fuckin' hard not to try so hard
Really fuckin' hard just to let go




Really fuckin' hard not to try so hard
Realize I have nowhere left to go

Overall Meaning

The lyrics of the song "again" by Eden is a melancholic yet insightful song that focuses on the struggles of the singer with their own thoughts and misconceptions of the world they live in. The song begins with the singer expressing that they can't deny the fact that they have been in need of a sad song lately. Whether it is for comfort or validation of their feelings, they can't help but feel the pull of such music. However, they also acknowledge their tendency to blame the world for their own failures and how it's never the world outside that has been the issue. This realization fills the singer with a sense of terror due to "sonder," which is the feeling of realizing that each passerby has a life as complex as one's own.


In the second verse, the singer apologizes for not being able to find the time to understand someone else's perspective due to being preoccupied with their own problems. They then ponder how they would react if they were ghosted, incorporating a sense of empathy into their lyrics. The chorus repeats thrice, with the singer acknowledging they have been trying to let go and not try so hard, but it's been tough. The song ends with the singer realizing that they don't have anywhere else to go and have to face their problems head-on.

Lyrics (Official from cassette)
And this is just another sad song
I can't deny that I've been needing one
And that the world is always at fault
And we did nothing how could we do wrong?
And I've been thinking that when we thought
The world would break us that we weren't wrong
But it's just never been the world outside
And sonder kinda has me terrified
And I'm so sorry I can't find the time
Spend all my days over preoccupied
And I've been thinking how would I react
If you were me and i was ghosted out
And I know I should try more but I've been so caught in my own small shit that I can't see
Past the nothing around me
But I've been trying really fucking hard not to try so hard
Really fucking hard to just let go
Really fucking hard not to try so hard
And realise I've nowhere left to go
