Lumina Lyrics
Come and wrap around me
Lumina
Take me through the snow
Went to see her man
Melting inside, melting away
Like butter in the pan
Come and wrap around me
Lumina
Take me through the snow
Juice ran down her chin
Babies will put things in their mouths
Never heard of sin
Open like the sea
Lumina
Sing me in the dark
What is wrong with this
Here is the place, now is the time
Let's invent the kiss
Come and wrap around me
Lumina
Come and wrap around me...

This song is great. (I say that for every song I post. I need a different introduction.)
Eve is a reference to... you know, Adam and Eve. This song ponders whether "knowledge" is really wrong or not.
Ack. I'm not religious, so i need some help playing these thoughts out.
Right, so Eve took the fruit from the tree of knowledge. She ate it-- then the line "babies will put things in their mouths/never knowing sin." All right, Eve didn't know any better. She stuck the fruit in her mouth and munched away. Was it wrong? She didn't understand.
"What is wrong with this?" Good question, Eve. What is sin?
Beautiful song. Osborne is stupendous.

Someone, please - what does the key word "lumina" actually mean? I don´t see the relation to luminaire... thanks!
Lumina= lumina Dei= the light of God kiss= metaphor for sex=metaphor for original sin (consider the artists other work, subject matter, she is high brow.) She takes issue with the portrayal of Eve as the temptress of Adam in the bible, and subsequent subjugation of women throughout history by men and politicians and religious hypocrits. She says "whatever", if this is bad, God should welcome this because this is as natural as it gets. It is human, it is cyclical for all young women. This is beautiful. This is innocent. God please guide me cuz i'm goin in.......

Light, goodness, love, the basics. Could also be about sex. Great song. Great artist.
