Damning Eden
Soil Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
In my head the sickness burning
Damning Eden
The purest of hearts are broken even
Ears are listening
The truth is sad a weak man's burden
Eyes are searching
Touch my mind and fade away
Falling down... losing faith
You can't take my pain away
Falling down... Damning Eden
Hollowed sin
Dims the path of the righteous man
Hollowed man
From within comes the beggars hymn
[Chorus]
These lyrics of SOiL's song "Damning Eden" are about the journey of a person who is struggling with a sickness burning in their head. They see the gears turning in their head, which is causing them pain and misery. The person is in a state of despair and seeking the truth, but the truth is sad, and the burden of the truth is too heavy for weak people. Despite this, the person persists in their search for truth, knowing that it hides nothing.
The singer of the song longs for someone to touch their mind, but they keep fading away, leaving them falling and losing faith. The person is aware that no one can take their pain away, and they continue to fall, damning Eden. The second verse talks about how hollowed sin dims the path of the righteous man, causing them to become hollow and helpless. From within the hollowed man, the beggar's hymn emerges, and their pain and agony continue.
The song is a representation of the human condition, where people are constantly struggling with their inner demons. It highlights the fact that despite suffering, people continue to search for the truth, even though it's painful.
Line by Line Meaning
Gear are turning
My mind is restless and consumed by negative thoughts
In my head the sickness burning
My mind is diseased with the constant burning of negative emotions
Damning Eden
Bringing destruction upon the very foundation of purity and innocence
The purest of hearts are broken even
Even the most virtuous and pure of hearts can be shattered and damaged
Ears are listening
I am intently listening for the truth
The truth is sad a weak man's burden
The reality of the situation is heartbreaking and too much for someone who is emotionally vulnerable to handle
Eyes are searching
I am actively seeking the truth
The truth is sad it hides nothing
The truth is a harsh reality that cannot be concealed or denied
Touch my mind and fade away
Allow your presence to infiltrate my thoughts and then leave me to deal with the aftermath
Falling down... losing faith
My emotions are taking over and I am losing my faith and hope
You can't take my pain away
Nobody has the power to alleviate my emotional suffering
Falling down... Damning Eden
I am spiraling further and further into an abyss of negativity and despair, causing destruction upon everything good and innocent
Hollowed sin
The hollowness and emptiness of committing a sinful act
Dims the path of the righteous man
Sin obscures the path that a morally upright and just man would take
Hollowed man
A man who is emptied of all moral values and beliefs
From within comes the beggars hymn
The emptiness within a man is reflected in his pitiable state and dire situation
