Thrice – Child of Dust Lyrics 17 years ago
I think this whole song is God talking to Adam, and in turn, all men.

1-2: I created you, but your life is your own.

3-4: I've provided this perfect paradise, and don't think you would ever want to leave.

5-6: This one is pretty self-explanatory, and so true.

7: Eden is destroyed and earth can be a pretty bad place now. Although I'm not sure what to make of line 8.

9: You now live on (mother)earth.
10: Adam fell that men might be, it is only in death that we truly live.

11-12: Even though the world(temporal/carnal things and people) may have it's conflicts, you know what's going on, you will be fine.

13-14: I haven't really figured this one out yet, it's really confusing. But the song does change at this point, possibly to imply something completely different?
