The world’s fastest love song! “Eden” is a tribute and promise to the people in all of our lives who make the world a better place for us. Infectiously catchy, the song’s main riff blends the memorable guitar harmony hooks of melodic metal with bouncy synths and energetic pop-punk style rhythms. All leading to the truly titanic chorus, with strings, guitars and synths all playing counterpoint to a 15-voice choir, spearheaded by Wiktoria’s legendarily powerful delivery.
Songwriter Chris Armstrong: “I didn’t tell my partner that this song is kind of about them until we debuted it. On our 10th anniversary. The line “Truth and Grace” before the second chorus is a rough translation of their name, and I still cherish the smile on their face when they realised I’d slipped that in there. Musically I’m quite proud of how a song that’s so fast and heavy all the way through still has so much contrast. Not always easy to achieve! Like the fast bouncy synth line against the slower guitar harmony, or how the chorus has so many busy background instruments, but Wikki holds the vocals with such length and power.”
Lyrics
Don’t tell me we’re dreaming
I hope I’ll never wake
Not perfect, yet sweeter
These moments we can take
We’re only two shadows
Hiding in emptiness
Both craving the meaning
Nevertheless
Don’t ask me what I feel
I wish I knew myself
Your presence, your embrace
Might be my greatest wealth
Wear my heart, bare my soul
I thought I’d never know
Who I am in your eyes
Could be so whole
The light inside will never die
Believe in me, keep chasing dreams
The day will come, our hearts as one
The light inside will never die
I wish I could promise
There’ll be a place for us
Your effort, your vision
And how much strength it cost
If I could protect you
From suffering and pain
I’d give you all my heart
My Truth and Grace
The light inside will never die
Believe in me, keep chasing dreams
The day will come, our hearts as one
The light inside will never die
There’s no one to make me stop fighting for our path
No matter the distance, I know this will last
If we can’t shape our world, let us be a beacon
We’ll remake this corner, our own Eden
The light inside will never die
Believe in me, keep chasing dreams
The day will come, our hearts as one
The light inside will never die
