Holy Mother Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Oh it's over
It's raining in my mind
Haunted soul
Why was I so wrong
When I'm just a mortal man inside myself
Break these walls, my prison cell
And holy water can't wash away my sins
Oh, now there ain't no leavin'
And danger's calling
Danger's calling me
Call me desperate and scared
Suffering angel
I rise but then I fall
I'm just sorry for the things I tell
Help me now, this is my hell
Last night, something went down in Eden
And holy water can't wash away my sins
Oh, now there ain't no leavin'
And danger's callingbr>Danger's calling me
Dangerous cries
Blacken the skies
Losing my mind
The heart of a crime
Last night, something went down in Eden
And holy water can't wash away my sins
Oh, now there ain't no leavin'
And danger's calling
Danger's calling
Last night, something went down in Eden
And holy water can't wash away my sins
Oh, now there ain't no leavin'
And danger's calling me
Danger's calling
The lyrics to Holy Mother's song Eden depict the inner turmoil and struggle of a man who recognizes the gravity of his mistakes and the consequences that follow. The opening lines, "It's cold inside my heart, Oh it's over, It's raining in my mind, Haunted soul," give listeners an immediate sense of the singer's inner turmoil and suffering. The repeated line, "Last night, something went down in Eden" hints at a past event that has caused this suffering and danger that is now calling him. The line "Why was I so wrong, When I'm just a mortal man inside myself" suggests that the singer recognizes his human flaws and faults, and the metaphorical "walls" of his prison cell represent the barriers and limitations he has put in his own way. He pleads for help, acknowledging that this is his own personal hell.
The second verse progresses the storyline, as he explains "Suffering angel, I rise but then I fall, I'm just sorry for the things I tell". This suggests that he is aware of how his actions and words may have caused harm to others, perhaps adding to his inner turmoil. The danger that is calling him brings about violent imagery, with "Dangerous cries, Blacken the skies, Losing my mind, The heart of a crime". These lines convey a sense of desperation and doom. The final chorus repeats the line, "Last night, something went down in Eden" but this time with more urgency and emphasis on the danger calling.
Overall, Holy Mother's Eden is a thought-provoking song that explores themes of inner turmoil, suffering, and consequences. The singer's struggle with his own actions and thoughts add a relatable layer to the lyrics, while the use of strong imagery and metaphors creates a haunting atmosphere.
