Garden
Lil Peep & Death Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
A garden of beauty was born,
Lush greenery and ancient trees,
The setting of eternity
But in this place of peacefulness,
A great evil lurked undressed,
The serpent with his wicked tongue,
Deceived the ones who first begun
A paradise lost
The fruit of knowledge,
Wasn't worth the cost
Adam and Eve succumbed,
To the serpent's venomous tongue,
They yearned for forbidden fruit,
Displeased with what God had put in view
Their eyes opened to the truth,
The knowledge they obtained was no proof,
Of anything worth knowing,
Their innocence was left unflowing
The Garden of Eden,
A paradise lost,
The fruit of knowledge,
Wasn't worth the cost
Now they're banished from the land,
And time will forever demand,
This punishment for their sin,
The Garden of Eden lost within
The Garden of Eden,
A paradise lost,
The fruit of knowledge,
Wasn't worth the cost
The Garden of Eden,
No longer a place to call home,
Forever buried in the past,
A paradise to forever roam
The lyrics to "Garden" by Lil Peep & Death explore the biblical story of the Garden of Eden and the fall of Adam and Eve. The song begins by describing the Garden as a place of beauty and tranquility, with lush greenery and ancient trees. However, hidden within this peacefulness is a great evil in the form of a serpent, who deceives Adam and Eve with his wicked tongue.
The Garden of Eden is presented as a paradise that is ultimately lost. The fruit of knowledge, which Adam and Eve were forbidden to eat, becomes a symbol of the cost of their disobedience. Despite God's warning, they succumb to the serpent's temptation and consume the forbidden fruit. As a result, their innocence is shattered, and they become aware of their own vulnerability and mortality.
The consequences of their actions are severe. Adam and Eve are banished from the Garden, and they must face the punishment for their sin for all time. The Garden of Eden becomes a place of longing and nostalgia, forever buried in the past, and they are condemned to wander and search for a new home.
The lyrics of "Garden" reflect on themes of temptation, the pursuit of knowledge, and the loss of innocence. It explores the timeless story of Adam and Eve's fall from grace and the consequences of their actions, inviting the listener to reflect on the price we sometimes pay for seeking forbidden truths.

In the land of the firstborn,
In a place where everything began,
A garden of beauty was born,
A place filled with natural beauty emerged,
Lush greenery and ancient trees,
Abundant green plants and age-old trees,
The setting of eternity
A timeless backdrop,
But in this place of peacefulness,
However, within this serene place,
A great evil lurked undressed,
An immense evil quietly hid,
The serpent with his wicked tongue,
The snake with his deceitful words,
Deceived the ones who first begun
Tricked the initial inhabitants
The Garden of Eden,
The perfect paradise,
A paradise lost
A paradise that was taken away
The fruit of knowledge,
The forbidden knowledge,
Wasn't worth the cost
Was not worth what it brought
Adam and Eve succumbed,
Adam and Eve gave in,
To the serpent's venomous tongue,
To the snake's poisonous words,
They yearned for forbidden fruit,
They desired the prohibited fruit,
Displeased with what God had put in view
Unsatisfied with what God had provided
Their eyes opened to the truth,
Their understanding was enlightened,
The knowledge they obtained was no proof,
The knowledge they acquired was not evidence
Of anything worth knowing,
Of anything truly valuable to know,
Their innocence was left unflowing
Their purity was forfeited
Now they're banished from the land,
Now they are expelled from this place,
And time will forever demand,
And from now on, time will always require,
This punishment for their sin,
This consequence for their wrongdoing,
The Garden of Eden lost within
The Garden of Eden forever gone
The Garden of Eden,
The perfect paradise,
A paradise lost,
A paradise that was taken away,
The fruit of knowledge,
The forbidden knowledge,
Wasn't worth the cost
Was not worth what it brought
The Garden of Eden,
The perfect paradise,
No longer a place to call home,
Not a home anymore,
Forever buried in the past,
Permanently hidden in the past,
A paradise to forever roam
A paradise to endlessly wander
