Long Road Out of Eden Lyrics

Cover art for Long Road Out of Eden lyrics by Eagles

I think that Eden is "the garden" full of "flowers" (socialites). I think there's a link between Eden and Hotel California -- a place you cannot leave, even if you try. However, leaving Eden seems possible, but requires a lifetime of experience. Unfortunately, leaving means you're alone: the instruments quitting one by one until t's just a marching snare, which too gives up until it's nothing but a desert wind.
