i was looking for you in the garden
the shadows under the trees perforated night skies
i found it hard to see in the glare
the only response to a call was the rustle of leaves, birdsong
your name diffusing through the undulations in the air
the kitchen doors were open
checked the fridge before continuing
skipping stairs was a stretch but still a habit
years later a couple lanes away from where we lived
i watched an asteroid break up on entry
bright limbs streaking across a black sky
what were the chances?
miracles unfolding overhead
drinking in the park
i could never explain the pit in my stomach
frantic, nervous pacing through the house
(if we act like things are not spiralling out of hand
does that make them so?
if a thought goes unspoken does that erase it?
the unbroached belief when my friend died decades later
that subconscious echoes carried him through me)
but it never rears its head when it can be reasoned with
the world ends on a quiet weekend
not through diagnoses, emergencies, collapses -
although i hate thinking that memories bend
cars were still parked outside
if the rapture had happened, why was it unrecognisable?
why was the sky blue?
why did no one tell me?
did these things not announce themselves?
and when i found you, you told me to wash my hands
i had been playing outside
and spoke nothing of the end of the world
does that mean it never happened?
this poem encapsulates grief perfectly. my dad passed away when i was a baby, but the world went on. my mom still had to work, my half brothers still had to go to school, and i still had to grow up. my first steps, my first words, my first day of school, my high school graduation, and now me getting a full time job, all happened without him.
i think about him every day, but nobody else in my family does anymore (long story about that). whenever i would about how i felt to other people outside of my family, it would usually be met with disgust since he was a lot older than my mom. i guess it's right for them to feel that way, but it still hurts because he's part of why i exist and get to experience this life, and i can't control that i was born (i was a planned child too, my mom wanted a daughter for decades before i was born).
a piece of my world ended, and nobody talks about it, and i guess i don't either. to me, it's almost like my dad never existed since i don't have any memories of him, but he did exist. the rapture happened, the world ended, yet the world has just kept turning, and i've just kept growing. it's a weird anomaly to miss someone you never truly got to know.
sorry for the huge paragraph thing, but i wanted to say how relatable this was for me, nothing else about grief has resonated with me this much
Don't be sorry for the paragraph if it helped you or made you feel little good expressing things you don't talk about with anyone now. I'm glad you did share this, god bless you brother. 🫂
Oh shit this paragraph is so beautiful and relatable. It's like you are reflection of me, just better at expressing what I feel. Thank you for sharing your story. Made me feel not alone.
Oh fuck man. I'm so sorry.
so relateable..i wish i could express it this beautifully.
best intro of all your albums. even better than wrong and wrong was such a good opener 🫣🫣
look it's 1:30 am and i don't want to go into detail about this, but this is a masterfully done piece, the narration, the distortions and sound effects that accompany the delivery, the perfect wiriting managing to express exactly what the auther wanted with so much beauty i almost cried. it's so much more than a eulogy, it feels like the lyrics want to come alive
"it's 1:30 am and i don't want to go into detail about this" is my phrase to live by
This is why I close my eyes to listen to Eden, he paints a vivid picture
the poetic beauty in this with the soundtrack in the background is simply perfect
This album to me almost reflects on the feelings/emotions of accepted grief. But not necessarily the grief of a family member, but a friend. From my own interpretation, the "accepted" grief still feels heartbroken, but with an undertone of knowing that things won't change, no matter how much you beg that person to stay or try to fix wrong doings. Perhaps it isn't grief, but a feeling of extended loss. I don't know if anything I'm saying makes much sense, but it feels very personal to me. I love every sort of message that EDEN's albums have and this one certainly has a special place in my heart 🌻💛
"if the rapture had happened, why was it unrecognisable? why was the sky blue? why did no one tell me? *did these things not announce themselves?* " - that bit really, really resonates.
So different yet still so Eden
😂
This really resonated with me, it made me go back and read my dad's final message for me before he took his own life. It really captures the feeling of life moving on despite immense grief and how weird that feeling can be
i always love hearing your speaking voice too, it has this inherently calming effect on me. this intro is my favorite.
a musician making poetry, who guess it would end up sounding so vivid
My best friend passed two years ago at the end of August. This is how grief feels.
still fucking obsessed with this album a year later
Love you Eden
This is the only intro I ever fully listen to in albums.
If u published a poem book, I'd definitely read it.
I always put artists on the shelf and forget about them... About to dive into some new Eden. Good to know you're still kickin'. Addendum; good to know you're Irish brother. 🍀
this reminds me of his 365x videos
I made a 365x 25 video cause I just felt like I needed to have it for myself and for people who wanted it.
if this isnt perfection then what is
"and spoke nothing of the end of the world, does that mean it never happened?" Such a poignant intro.

i listen to this and get whole body CHILLS. oh my god
I cant wait to hear these words live
Epic ✨
Deep voice
Who else was here on the day of the release?
This was just
Awesome
Threw me back to the old days of Icarus, oh Lord what an experience
This is truly fine art and expression. Very different from Eden but just as meaningful as all of his lyrics and music videos🖤
eden's voice..
The ending of this poem goes directly to song called “Baling”
Nice poem
Aye!💙
♥️

This plays like an Evangelion monolog. Did you do that on purpose? This is giving me heavy Shinji vibes.
YES MAN!!! This whole album feels like evangelion gave him some inspiration with the sound / themes of the album
First
Your music got worse over time... i remember the good songs line circle, wake up, drugs, fumes, gravity, crash, etc. But this last 2 albums are really not that catching anymore. Sadly
nah they are diffrent but still fire. but i guess not everyone will be on this more experimental wave from him. but i kinda miss his older songs too because they were "richer in sound" so i get what ur saying
dude theyre MASTERPIECES but okay😭😭😭
look deeper than a catchy hook and youll find something more meaningful 🩶
GOL DANG
I love your expressio, I needed this today. "I hate thinking that memories bend"
Hope you're well bruv xx
