Eden
Tkay Maidza Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Breathe, breathe, breathe
(LYWW, ooh, ooh)
(The best radio)
Yellow cross
Golden time, weekends (Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah)
From a Sunday to Sunday, we fall off
Saturdays, eyes from the retail (From the retail)
And we're eating, we're eating it all off
From the Garden of Eden, Eden
Oh, whoa
Flow like the river, Bordeaux
Money will come and will go
Too many queens on the throne
Whoa
Designer pants and bandeau
We on the way to plateau
We on the way
Flow like the yellow brick road
Flowers all over my clothes
Feel like the moment is good
Feel like Jehovah just called
Sweeter than cinnamon toast
Ice on my chin and it's cold
Funny, I came from the ends
Most of my problems resolved
Yeah, I ain't worried 'bout none
Polyester, see me shine
Like a fancy diamond
With a cheat in this life
There's no way to die young
Got the bars, now I stream
Watch me strum in nylon
Money green, feel the air
Fillin' into my lungs
Yellow cross
Golden time, weekends (Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah)
From a Sunday to Sunday, we fall off
We be looking for a reason (Reason, yeah)
Saturdays, eyes from the retail (From the retail)
And we're eating, we're eating it all off
From the Garden of Eden, Eden
I'm feelin' great
I'm feelin' great
I'm feelin' eager (Eager)
I'm doing good
I'm feelin' great
Living in Eden (Yeah, yeah, yeah)
I'm feelin' great
I'm feelin' great
Come for the weekend
I'm feelin' great
I'm feelin' great
I'm feelin' great
Out of sight, you're still in line
Whatever happened to those good old times?
Lovin' things that you once had
Still keep going 'round and 'round in my head
The lyrics to Tkay Maidza's song "Eden" paint a vivid picture of carefree weekends spent indulging, partying, and forgetting about the pressures of life, all while weaving in themes of self-discovery and growth. The song seems to center around the Garden of Eden, which is a biblical reference to the paradise where Adam and Eve lived before the fall. The line "From the Garden of Eden, Eden" implies that the character in the song has found their own version of paradise, where they can freely express themselves without judgement, and be content with the world around them.
The song opens with the repetition of the phrase "Still keep going 'round and 'round in my head," which suggests a sense of obsession, either with the perfect place in their mind or with the memories that they want to revisit. The chorus repeats the phrase "Yellow cross, golden time, weekends" which seems to refer to a special, almost sacred time that the character treasures, most likely because it offers respite from the monotony of everyday life. The verses evoke a carefree nature to life, referencing indulgences like food, drink, and possible drugs ("Sweeter than cinnamon toast, ice on my chin and it's cold"), and the character's fashionable clothes ("Designer pants and bandeau").
Overall, the lyrics to "Eden" portray a feeling of freedom and joy, where the character finds themselves caught up in the moment of pleasure, almost unaware of everyday worries. However, there is still a hint of uncertainty that permeates throughout the song, making it clear that the character's paradise may not be a permanent one.

Why is she so underrated? It makes no sense because usually someone with her sounds would start blowing up but with her itโs quiet.
