Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
The lyrics to Piecemeal's song With You There was Eden convey a deeply felt sense of heartbreak and loss. The singer is describing a feeling of being crushed and consumed by an intense love that has now faded away. The opening line, "A heart like ashes, crushed and dry," sets the tone for the rest of the song, which seems to express a sense of resignation and sadness.
The singer is addressing a former lover, someone who they loved intensely and who they feel they have lost forever. The farewell letter that is mentioned in the second line of the song suggests that this relationship ended badly, perhaps with accusations and hurtful words. The singer is struggling to come to terms with the end of this love affair, trying to find meaning in the memories that they hold onto.
Throughout the song, the singer is haunted by memories of the past, desperately trying to hold onto something that has already slipped away. The phrase, "to kiss my soul is to tear my heart out," seems to convey the idea that the intensity of the love that the singer felt was too much for them to bear. The last two lines, "I want you to remember as I will, and not look back in anger," suggest that the singer is trying to come to terms with what has happened and move on.
