I Love This Song!!!!!=]]
By the way it's
"This I Beg Of You"
not This is Beg Of You.
I agree with it being about Adam and Eve.
I think it has to do about ho Adam felt for Eve and even though he knew it was wrong to eat the fruit he couldn't resist her beauty.
when he says "I Decided to Name Her Insomia" I think of him loving her so much he can't sleep because of his feelings.
IDK that's my take on it.
Don't look too far when trying to find meaning in The Devil Wears Prada songs. The simple reason being that as a band, they are required by contract to appeal to the broadest audience possible. This means that their lyrics are kept vague and have no clear "universal" meaning. The following is an obvious and literal analysis of the song as it is based on verified facts. It is the only type of acceptable song analysis as it is objective and does not assume intimate knowledge of the author's sentiment and intentions.

It is the only type of acceptable song analysis as it is objective and does not assume intimate knowledge of the author's sentiment and intentions.
"I am the speaker but what...
"I am the speaker but what is responsibility?" means: I say words but I ponder their effect on reality.
"This I beg of you, build me brick upon brick" means: I am nothing and need someone else to tell me who to be. Please note this is not Christian at all. If you read the bible you should not have any questions about how or who to be. The lessons in the bible are straight forward.
"High tides; waves of hypocrisy" means: It's out of context and has no obvious meaning. A dumb lyric.
"I didn't think the clock struck more than twelve times" means that it's late and the author is surprised. "Oh my! Did you look at the time?"
"I decided to name her insomnia" means: He is up late and is making a big deal of it.
"Her teeth (show) like white seeds in a scarlet fruit" means: The author read "The picture of Dorian Gray" and remembered to take the quote as a lyric. The "Scarlet fruit" is the color of the skin that is inside everyone's mouth. When you smile your gums are red (scarlet means red) and your teeth stick out of them like seeds (because teeth are white). This has no observable relation to Adam and Eve and anyone who claims it does should not drink water with fluoride in it!
"This I must tell you, old friend: fear beauty" means: This is a reference to "The picture of Dorian Gray" because in the book the protagonist chases beauty and is ultimately betrayed by it. It also means the author is idiotic. Dumb lyrics, not subtle at all.
"This is meager, this is feeble" means: Again a reference to "beauty" as it is written about by Oscar Wilde because it is fleeting and ephemeral. And that means that those who seek beauty always lose it. It is not a good thing to want to be beautiful. A person is beautiful in their hard work and values, not in their looks.
"She was only a fiction and my creation" means: The author is talking about beauty. He is saying beauty isn't real. We only perceive it as such.
In conclusion, I think it would be fair to say that the Theme of the song is "beauty" and "values" and makes allusions to and quotes the book "The picture of Dorian Gray" by Oscar Wilde. TO ALL OBTUSE CHRISTIANS OUT THERE, PLEASE WORK HARDER IN YOUR ANALYSES BECAUSE YOU'RE LEADING PEOPLE TO THINK THAT ALL TWDP SONGS HAVE A DIRECT RELATION TO CHRISTIANITY WHEN IT IS NOT THE CASE AT ALL. THEY VAGUELY REFERENCE PASSAGES IN THE BIBLE AT BEST.
