Eden
K. Ryan Brown Lyrics

The lyrics of K. Ryan Brown's song Eden are deep and enigmatic. The opening lines talk about wires hanging down that hold the strung up people off the ground. This imagery could perhaps be interpreted to represent how people are tied down by society and how external pressures can hold them back. The next line talks about melting faces being normal, indicating that people are conforming to a certain mold rather than being their authentic selves. The shifting faces that are ever-changing could perhaps signify how people mask their true selves and keep putting on a facade.

The next few lines talk about vines blanketing the ground that represent a secret predator that is wildly spreading its seed. This alludes to how some unknown force is trying to spread its influence but it is not clear whether it is good or bad. The hunger for an affection that it cannot reach could signify how people are subconsciously looking for love and acceptance but they are not able to find it. The line about a lonely hug squeezing the life from me perhaps indicates the desperation that people feel for connection but often end up suffocating themselves.

The next few lines are about the forest and how it is coming to life. The trees are stretching and the fog is setting, signifying a new beginning. The forest breathes and sleeps in harmony. The final line about eternal sleep perhaps indicates that even though life is cyclical and there is always something new to look forward to, in the end, everything goes back to the same eternal sleep.
