Eden
Thomas Datt pres. D.A.T.T. Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Parece que solo puedo estar triste
Lo merezco
Lo merezco
Parece que solo puedo estar triste porque lo merezco
Y yo no soy un ángel caído del cielo
Nunca he subido a verlo
Ni quiero
Un gigante dormido
No hagas ruido en mi piso
Cocaína y benzos en el piso
Me deslizo escurridizo
Por sus piernas
Navajero suizo
El equilibrio me desequilibra
No se equilibra esta movida
Me dice que lea un poco más la Biblia
Y que le pida algo más a la vida
Que le den a los caballos de tu coche
Yo quiero caballos que corran en la noche
Quiero ir bien rápido
Yo no voy al trote
Voy muy drogado para que se note
Parece que solo puedo estar triste porque lo merezco
Y yo no soy un ángel caído del cielo




Nunca he subido a verlo
Ni quiero

Overall Meaning

The song "Eden" by Thomas Datt pres. D.A.T.T. is an introspective and hopeful track about finding light and hope amidst darkness and scars. The singer acknowledges the difficulties and scars one carries in life but finds solace in the belief that everyone is created by God and has a purpose. The imagery of a flower growing in the dark is used to represent the idea that beauty can thrive in the most unexpected places. The singer contemplates the idea of planting seeds and what kind of fruit they will bear, alluding to the idea that our actions have consequences that ripple out to future generations.


The second part of the song shifts to a South African language, isiZulu, providing a nod to the South African roots of the singer and adding another layer of depth to the song's meaning. The lines translate to "You are distasteful with Bisi and Busi's rings / Your engagements are causing me worry / Your promises are causing me trouble." The singer seems to be addressing someone who is not living up to their commitments, perhaps warning them about the consequences of their actions.
