Eden
Palmaria Lyrics

Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴

Midnight, mystic
Saw Your eyes and they were blue touched
Never could have asked

Moonlight, wind shift
Hypnotized, colored by the light
Waiting for the low tide

Things got surreal
Your deep blue eyes
Breaking apart
Started to lift
Through a thousand stars
Now are stuck in the sky

Started to swing
Below our feet
The earth and sky
Turned upside down
Gravity shift
But I stuck to your eyes

Bring me back to eden
It's not gonna end for us too
Bring me back to that place
And I'll follow you deep in the blue

Blue velvet sky, so Soft
Lying down, wrapped me over night
Till the morning light

Now you're out sight
Blind spot
Haze high but you left behind
Traces that I could find

Things got surreal
Your deep blue eyes
Breaking apart
Started to lift
Through a thousand stars
Now are stuck in the sky

Started to swing
Below our feet
The earth and sky
Turned upside down
Gravity shift
But I stuck to your eyes

Bring me back to eden
It's not gonna end for us too
Bring me back to that place
And I'll follow you deep in the blue

Tender was the night
Too quick was passing by
Then dreamy lilac sky
Bring me back

Bring me back to eden
It's not gonna end for us too

Bring me back to that place
And I'll follow you deep in the blue

Overall Meaning

The lyrics of Palmaria’s song “Eden” depict a surreal and dreamlike experience. Laden with metaphors and poetic language, the song hints at a deep connection between two individuals. The opening lines depict a glimpse of the singer’s affection for the other person's blue eyes, which seem to have a mystical aura. The moonlight and the shifting winds add to the enchanting ambiance, and the singer speaks of waiting for the low tide - perhaps indicating a sense of longing for something to happen, or for the bond to deepen.

As the song progresses, the earth and the sky turn upside down, and a gravity shift happens. The singer clings to the other person's blue eyes, which are now ‘stuck in the sky’. The imagery of the earth and the sky turning upside down can be interpreted as the tumultuous experience of falling in love, and the singer's willingness to reinvent herself completely.

The chorus then repeats the singer's desire to go back to this state of ‘Eden’ - to relive the experience, to follow the other person deep into the blue. The blue in this context could be a reference to water, the sky, or even the person's eyes. The song ends with a yearning to return to this dreamy state once more, a desire that is perhaps born out of a deep and lasting connection that transcends time and space.
