Mitzi
Joe Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Yeah, there was a story I'm sure you will know.
I'm sure you remember, I know you believe,
The story of Adam and Eve.
In the garden of Eden where live began,
Yes the very beginning of woman and man.
I'm sure you remember and I know you believe,
They were in the garden while they both fell in love,
Sheltered by the guiding hand of the one above.
Life was filled with happiness until one day around,
A very great temptation, you know how it goes.
In the garden of Eden, a long time ago,
There was a story I'm sure you will know.
I'm sure you remember, I'm sure you believe,
The story of Adam and Eve.
In the garden of Eden, a long time ago, such a story
has fascinated and divided people for generations. Joe's song Mitzi references this story and speaks to our universal understanding of temptation, love, and longing.
The song opens with the image of the garden of Eden, which symbolizes a place of innocence, purity, and also ultimate betrayal. The lyrics then go on to retell the familiar Biblical story of Adam and Eve, the first man and woman created by God, who live in harmony in the paradise of the garden. However, their idyllic existence is interrupted by the temptation of the serpent who convinces Eve to eat from the forbidden fruit of the Tree of Knowledge of Good and Evil. Eve then gives the fruit to Adam and both of them are subsequently banished from the garden by God, forever separating them from the source of their happiness.
One of the underlying themes of this song is the power of temptation and how easily it can lead to the downfall of even the most pure-hearted. Through the retelling of this story, Joe is exploring the human need for knowledge and experience, as well as the thin line between right and wrong. Another major theme is the power of love and the importance of relying on a higher power and guidance to overcome the temptations of life.
