    The song is about a romantic interest that the singer finds both tragic and magical, with something lonesome but also wholesome about them. The chorus reflects on how the subject is familiar like a mirror from years ago, and how innocence has died while idealism is in prison. The singer states that they slithered from Eden to sit outside the subject's door.

    From Eden - Hozier

    [Intro]

    C Dm Am
    C Dm Am
    C Dm Am
    C Dm Am


    [Verse 1]

    C Dm Am C Dm Am
    Babe,
    C Dm Am C Dm Am
    there's something tragic about you
    C Dm Am C Dm Am
    something so magic about you
    C Dm Am C Dm Am
    don't you agree


    [Verse 2]

    C Dm Am C Dm Am
    Babe,
    C Dm Am C Dm Am
    there's something lonesome about you
    C Dm Am C Dm Am
    something so wholesome about you
    C Dm Am C Dm Am
    Get closer to me


    [Bridge 1]

    Am G Em F
    no tired si, no rolling eyes, no irony
    Dm G F
    no 'who cares', no vacant stares, no time for me


    [Chorus]

    C C Dm Am C G Am F
    Honey you're familiar like my mirror years ago
    C C Dm Am C G Am F
    Idealism sits in prison, chivalry fell on it's sword
    C C Dm Am C G Am F
    Innocence died screaming, honey ask me I should know
    C C Dm Am C G Am F
    I slithered here from eden just to sit outside your door


    [Verse 3]

    C Dm Am C Dm Am
    Babe,
    C Dm Am C Dm Am
    there's something wretched about this
    C Dm Am C Dm Am
    something so precious about this
    C Dm Am C Dm Am
    where to begin


    [Verse 4] (played on live shows)

    C Dm Am C Dm Am
    Babe,
    C Dm Am C Dm Am
    there's something broken about this
    C Dm Am C Dm Am
    but I might be open about this
    C Dm Am C Dm Am
    oh what a sin


    [Bridge 2]

    Am G Em F
    To the strand a picnic plan for you and me
    Dm G F
    a rope in hand for your other man to hang from a tree


    [Chorus]

    C C Dm Am C G Am F
    Honey you're familiar like my mirror years ago
    C C Dm Am C G Am F
    Idealism sits in prison, chivalry fell on it's sword
    C C Dm Am C G Am F
    Innocence died screaming, honey ask me I should know
    C C Dm Am C G Am F
    I slithered here from eden just to sit outside your door

    C C Dm Am C G Am F
    Honey you're familiar like my mirror years ago
    C C Dm Am C G Am F
    Idealism sits in prison, chivalry fell on it's sword
    C C Dm Am C G Am F
    Innocence died screaming, honey ask me I should know
    C C Dm Am C G Am F
    I slithered here from eden just to hide outside your door
