EDEN
Navigating the Turbulent Waters of Love and Doubt
EDEN's song 'fomo' delves into the complexities of modern relationships, particularly focusing on the feelings of uncertainty and the fear of missing out (FOMO). The lyrics paint a picture of a relationship that seems to be drifting off course, with the protagonist questioning the value and authenticity of their connection. The repeated lines 'I don't follows fighting for a lost cause' and 'feel like even drifting, we're just off course' suggest a sense of disillusionment and confusion, as if the relationship is no longer fulfilling or meaningful.
The song also explores the internal conflict of whether to continue investing in a relationship that may not be worth the emotional toll. The lines 'What are we if dying for? What are we lying for, oh, if it's no good?' highlight the protagonist's struggle to find a reason to keep fighting for something that seems inherently flawed. This is further emphasized by the line 'No flame can absolve sin,' suggesting that no amount of passion or effort can fix the underlying issues.
Despite these doubts, there is a lingering attachment and a fear of missing out on something potentially valuable, as expressed in the lines 'And you got something I don't want to miss out on.' This ambivalence is encapsulated in the repeated questioning of 'Would you call that love?' The song captures the emotional turbulence of trying to navigate a relationship that is fraught with uncertainty, yet still holds a magnetic pull that is hard to resist.
