Eden
Enchanting Shadows and Tangled Words: Anna Calvi's Eden Night
Lyrics
I tell a lie
I am not truthful
I'm a needle in the heart
I am a source of pain or trouble in the emotional core
You're a shadow in the dark
You are a barely noticeable presence in the obscurity
In a woodchip house
In a modest, unremarkable dwelling
In the garden we hide
We are concealed in the garden
With our shoes untied
We are not prepared, symbolized by our untied shoes
The storm rising up
A metaphorical storm is approaching
Our hair's tangled up
Our hair is entangled, representing a complex or difficult situation
My words are tangled up
My speech is confused or unclear
The home we're thinking of
The ideal home we have in mind
We'll fall soon enough
We will experience a downfall or failure soon
We'll fall through the ground
We will fall to the ground, possibly indicating a loss or setback
I tell a lie
Repetition of line 1: I am not truthful
On your bed so small
On your small bed, I deceive
With your heroes on the wall
Your admired figures adorn the wall
In the fading light
In the diminishing illumination
Through the window I see
Looking through the window, I observe
All your poplar trees
Your symbolic poplar trees
The storm rising up
Repetition of the metaphorical storm rising
Our hair tangled up
Our hair remains entangled, indicating ongoing complexity
My words are tangled up
Repetition of confusion in speech
The home we're thinking of
Reiteration of the ideal home concept
We'll fall soon enough
Anticipation of a forthcoming failure or decline
We'll fall through the ground
We will fall to the ground, a recurring theme of loss
Eden night
Reference to an "Eden night," possibly symbolizing a serene or idyllic time
Eden night
Repetition of "Eden night," emphasizing its significance
Eden night
Repetition of "Eden night," reinforcing the theme or atmosphere
