about

I have always been fascinated with religion despite being a devout atheist. I love exploring ideas of faith and belief and spirituality and often despair over my spiritual deficit.

For this album I wanted to include a bunch of hymns that could be sung by atheists. These hymns explore ideas about feminism, forgiveness, belief in humanity and love and the environmental impact on the earth by human beings, specifically the colonising kind.

This track spins a new tale on the story of Adam and Eve and the forbidden piece of fruit in the Garden of Eden.

lyrics

I took a bite from the forbidden fruit
Now I can never go back I can never go back
I turned to the end of the story I was reading
I can never go back go back
Signed it all away to the company
I’ll never get it all back never get it all back
It felt like magic but I fell for the tricks
I can never go back go back

Once the truth was spoken
The past I knew was frozen
The future was an ocean to drown in
It goes as far as the eye can see
But I’ll never know how deep
Is there nothing else for me but forgiving you

I believe everything the weathermen say
They don’t know what’s coming they don’t know what’s coming
I’ll read everything my horoscopes say
They don’t know what’s coming
On the day you left without your compass in hand
Did you know what’s coming did you know what’s coming
I believed everything you said back then
You don’t know what’s coming

When God says you don’t eat from the tree in the middle of the garden
Or you’ll be a carcass swinging in the wind with no faith
It’s not my fate that is not my fate
Trust me if you can you don’t eat the fruit from the tree in the middle of the garden
Then it comes to me this garden is no sanctuary
It’s an island in the middle of an ocean
Dark waves tide in motion
Gotta go free my soul you are not my home, not my home
The truth has been hidden and talking bout you it has been forbidden
But it’s all come out and I’m drowning now
Gotta swim up and I’m gonna scream out
