I was pretty sure it was a metaphor based on this quote.

I was planning to share another vegan song relating to how people treat non-human animals, but I decided instead to post the lyrics of a song I finished last week about how people sometimes treat other people. I wrote "Garden" for anyone who has ever been betrayed or used in a relationship. This song makes me sad (and a little angry) when I sing it because it taps into experiences I had long ago.

but your use of the metaphor is pretty overbearing. The intended meaning somehow gets lost for me.

It interests me that you feel the Adam and Eve story is so interesting, Unfan, because to me any story that is the foundation of several religions (Christianity and Judaism, plus others) in which over 2 billion believe is *fascinating*.

I find it silly to the point that I can't take it seriously at all. The story is inane on the same level as Clifford The Big Red Dog. What I do find interesting is the fact that so many people believe it.

I'll be curious what you think of the song if you listen to it when I record it. (I'm trying to memorize the guitar part right now so I don't botch it too terribly during recording). "Garden" is actually one of my favorite songs to play and sing because I have a lot of anger in me that I get out through the song. Maybe you'll relate to the anger even if you don't like the lyrics.

Maybe if you just go RAWWWWWWWWWWRRRRRRRRRRRRR really loud I could relate to the anger. That doesn't make it any more appealing.
