Eden Lyrics

Summer bled of Eden
Easter's heir uncrowns
Another destiny lies leeched
Upon the ground

Everybody needs someone to live by
Everybody needs someone
Everybody needs someone to live by
Rage on omnipotent

A gilded wreath on reason
The flower crushed conceives
A child of fragrance so much clearer
In legacy

Everybody needs someone to live by
Everybody needs someone to live by
Everybody needs someone to live by
Rage on omnipotent

Keep it true to the song

Fix what’s wrong, but don’t rewrite what the artist wrote. Stick to the official released version — album booklet, label site, verified lyric video, etc. If you’re guessing, pause and double-check.

Respect the structure

Songs have rhythm. Pages do too. Leave line breaks where they belong. Don’t smash things together or add extra empty space just for looks.

Punctuation counts (but vibe-editing doesn’t)

Correct typos? Yes. Re-punctuating a whole verse because it ‘looks better’? Probably not. Keep capitalization and punctuation close to the official source.

Don’t mix versions

If you’re editing the explicit version, keep it explicit. If it’s the clean version, keep it clean. No mashups.

Let the lyrics be lyrics

This isn’t the place for interpretations, memories, stories, or trivia — that’s what comments are for. Keep metadata, translations, and bracketed stage directions out unless they’re officially part of the song.

Edit lightly

If two lines are wrong… fix the two lines. No need to bulldoze the whole page. Think ‘surgical,’ not ‘remix.’

When in doubt, ask the crowd

Not sure what they’re singing in that fuzzy bridge? Drop a question in the comments and let the music nerds swarm. Someone always knows.

This song, The Rainbow, and Laughing Stock comprise the greatest work in post-rock of all time.

It created post-rock, and is some of the best music ever written. Moving on so many levels.

Bear in mind the musical climate of 1988 - Kylie sodding minogue singing the damned locomotion. Awful.

Put any other CD from the 80s and it sounds dated - this doesn't.

Agreed.

To the guy who dissed Kylie Minogue.... try watching her duet with Nick Cave. She is actually a good artist.

This album was with me the first days of a process to make the decsion to quit a four year long period of alcohol abuse and general gluttony.

Now sober, healthy and losing weight.

My Take On This Song

This song describes the inhumanity one must endure to earn god's love. The lyric 'Another destiny lies leeched Upon the ground' tells of a persons destiny being leeched, having the blood sucked out of it, that being the life. He sings 'Rage on omnipotent', we are to be terrorized by god as he rages in anger if we want to gain his love and salvation. This is a horrible thing to subject anyone to. He refers to people who can't find love or moral guidance without having to follow someone who victimizes them for their love and acceptance. That is not some one I want to follow.
