Lyrics:
A Women with a knowing smile caught my eye
She sat there with a drink alone
The Barkeep says they call her original sin
The very first scapegoat when the trouble set in
Mother to the millions but queen to none
She sits and sips her drink unfazed
Barkeep says they'll take her away in a bit
She overstepped and now must pay for her sins
The court is gathered
Judge sits low
But round the room
The jury know
Gods not gonna help you now my girl
So save your prayers
Legions of daughters those that you fought for happily curse your name now
Drink from the cup girl and in another world history sings the same vow
Ruled by religion they speak but we listen and offer a lamb to the slaughter
Easy to lay the blame onto her alter as mother dies for daughter
Self righteousness rooted inside your home kid can't help but follow their lead
Mothers curse mothers daughters curse daughters and so the cycle repeats
Villainize victims slave to a system collecting kindling for our kin.
The fire we drop at your feet and we leave
Please don't cry for your daughters Eve
Please don't cry for your daughters Eve
Please don't cry for your daughters Eve
Just as the Barkeep said a mob came to call
And took her from her place of rest
She stood and walked herself right out of the door
A path she'd walked so many many times before
I was frozen couldn't move from my seat
You think you'd be a saviour but can't do as you preach
Eve I'm sorry you must take the fall for their shame
I'd help you but I risk taking your place
The court is gathered
Judge sits low
But round the room
The jury know
Gods not gonna help you now my girl
So save your prayers
Legions of daughters those that you fought for happily curse your name now
Drink from the cup girl and in another world history sings the same vow
Ruled by religion they speak but we listen and offer a lamb to the slaughter
Easy to lay the blame onto her alter as mother dies for daughter
Self righteousness rooted inside your home kid can't help but follow their lead
Mothers curse mothers daughters curse daughters and so the cycle repeats
Villainize victims slave to a system collecting kindling for our kin.
The fire we drop at your feet and we leave
Please don't cry for your daughters Eve
Please don't cry for your daughters Eve
Please don't cry for your daughters Eve
Mother Maiden Crone
Goddess God-less all alone
Medusa and the flesh
Punished for another's mess
So you'll take the fall
For standing just an inch too tall
When the bell doth toll
The ringing calls out for us all
Temptress siren witch
Anne she stands without a stitch
A lesson never learned
Speak too loud we'll see you burn
And your reflection seems
To look a whole lot like that Eve
When the bell doth toll
The ringing calls out for us all
The ringing calls out for us all!
Legions of daughters those that you fought for happily curse your name now
Drink from the cup girl and in another world history sings the same vow
Ruled by religion they speak but we listen and offer a lamb to the slaughter
Easy to lay the blame onto her alter as mother dies
And dies and dies and dies and dies and dies and dies and
Dies and dies and dies and dies and dies and dies and dies and dies and dies
Please don't cry for your daughters
Eve

Stream this song here to take down the patriarchy - ffm.to/debuteplydia.OYD
Helloooo
I wouldn't miss it for the world
HELL YEAH
Screw the patriarchy!!!!!
Even though Eve was the first to eat of the fruit, Original Sin is blamed on Adam, not Eve, soo uhhh....
Thanks for misrepresenting my faith 😃
The tired look in Eve's eyes after she's freed is because this scenario has already happened to her countless times and will continue to happen :')
so true. We females need to stand up for our sisters! Also, males need to stop blaming females and see us as the people we are
@@alakazamlover4908 ehhhh
@@SeinIshamiado it isnt an 'ehhhhh' debate, Males have problems too, Females arent the only ones to suffer in this world
im not saying females DONT suffer, but males suffer too
in Africa, do you think only females are starving? do you think there were only women slaves?
no
there were male and women slaves
i dont mind the argument of 'we need to acknowledge girls have problems' but i dont like the wording of 'guys need to realize women are people true' like all men on earth are sexiest assholes, im a dude, and i have several best-friends who are girls
I agree with all these statements
@@alakazamlover4908 Yes, yes, it’s always on both sides. 💀
I literally just finished writing an essay on the female literary archetypes throughout history… she’s so often only ever a pure virgin or a mother- if not she’s a “temptress, siren, witch”
The Madonna-Whore thing?
Did you watch utena? 😊 i remember that being a theme
Hey, I'd love to read your essay. Is it part of a course or something?
@@kajalk141same
Or both in poor Mary’s case.
I like that it’s not Lydia saving the woman but that little girl… it’s just cool because most say they’d do something and like to think they would but realistically a lot would probably be to scared to help.
I love that too, she's not taking the place of a main character
and the lyric "I'd help you but i'd risk taking your place."
words it SO well too
And if you think about it a little girl would be braver than the other cause she haven’t been taught the cruel reality like they others have, she is still ‘naive’ in their eyes but is actually right and is speaking out rather than being silents
According to the Bible It's because of her we're born, she gave birth to the first baby on earth
Yep. Lots will walk by. That’s why you have to be better and stronger for those other women.
“I’d help you, but I risk taking your place” Hit way too close to home :(
“Mothers curse daughters, daughters curse daughters, and so the cycle repeats” stuck in my head
The part where the song says " so you'll take the fall for standing just an inch to tall" hit me so hard because metaphorically I feel I try my best not to also literally I am tall compared to all the boys
Boys need to become more secure in themselves so that tall girls don't intimidate them
@@barbarabigelow9110 i mean tbh im a dude and id love to meet a cute tall girl (Though looks are very, very VERY secondary to me)
Darling were the same😢😢
I was crying because we all know ehat happens du Jo she burned ....
@@barbarabigelow9110 im a guy and id love to meet a tall girl
“Villainize victims, slaves to the system” kept making me cry. I really felt that so deeply
This song tells the truth in every sense of the word. No matter what women do, we're forever scorned. Damned if we do, damned if we don't. I genuinely started crying while the song went on because it struck home in such a powerful way. Women tearing each other down, people around us tearing us down, you captured every bit of the struggle perfectly. This song is absolutely incredible. Much love, Lydia! ❤
Men: "First time?"
I cried too.
@@renwulf1695 It goes for both genders. Society in general fucks us up and now with women's rights becoming more and more prominent, the scrutiny intensifies.
@@daughteroflust6666I just hope the pendulum doesn't swing too far to the opposite side, is all. Agreed that women deserve more rights, especially in third world countries but there seem to be a growing trend where the excess is being pushed to antagonize the opposite side, leading to further division in first world countries. Just an observation. Peace.
No it doesn't. I didn't know murder was a right either.
Eve deserves so much better than what pop culture gives her nowadays.
No, she doesn’t. Eve wasn’t a victim and wasn’t an infant-she was a grown woman who knew full well the consequences of her actions. The Story of Jesus shows everyone that Satan has no power over those who don’t listen to him.
The narrative that Eve is somehow a victim is steeped in the narrative that women should be treated like innocent angels or like naive toddlers. Such a narrative simply isn’t true.
@@DoomzdehPeople like you make me feel glad that I'm an atheist! Tell me why are you saying those things about Eve and not about Adam? Is it because he is a man thus he should be removed from all the blame?
@@Doomzdehin many versions when god says about forbidden fruit he says it only to Adam, Eve could not even know about it. And still, Eve was convinced to bite it by DEVIL and Adam was convinced by her. And we don’t know their age, they could’ve been infants. So you just want to hug both because they didn’t even knew what was going to happen. And I still don’t really understand what was so awful about the apple, they say god gave humans free will but devil was the one to give them the apple, which gave them negative emotions, and what free will without negative aspects of your personality? Others say apple didn’t gave anything, apple was just a fruit, so we must do whatever the hell god wants even if it’s not justified? Really!? And also, Eve gets whole blame in many versions and throw out whole history, you can say “my bible don’t blames her” but how do you know what your bible is truth when it has the same amount of evidences as others? I’m not even blaming you I’m actually curious about it when age what I was like 5.
@@Doomzdeh Eve did not deserve that. Adam was just at fault as Eve was. Eve started the fall but Adam completed it. They were both prideful and childish before God rather than humble and confessing their sin.
So says the Eastern Orthodox Church (the original Christian church). My Mother also taught me that Eve wasn't seduced because she was a woman, but because she was the youngest in all creation. The youngest baby of the group tend to be more naive and gullible than others, and it didn't matter the gender.
Evangelicals take everything too literally in the Bible. Evangelicalism is ugly.
Also, the way you describe women is a direct insult to the Holy Virgin Mary.
@@DoomzdehChristian here. Look at this scripture:
I Timothy 2:14 NKJV
[14] And Adam was not deceived, but the woman being deceived, fell into transgression.
While yes, Eve did sin, she was deceived. Adam, on the other hand, sinned, but wasn't deceived and knew what he was doing.
Seeing a Native Woman with her Tattoos was SO BEAUTIFUL, I nearly cried to see that.
oh my god i know. i noticed a lot of the women in that scene were historical figures. Joan of Arc, i think Malala, i’m pretty sure Harriet Tubman might’ve been there? maybe that woman could’ve been ‘Pocahontas’?
@@nicobish8085I also saw Anne Boleyn
When I saw that Desi girl with her bindi and sari that was the last straw, I actually started crying.
@@nicobish8085I think I saw Bisan too
I'm a man, and yet, I am a very staunch believer of the truth that women deserve better. They always get mocked for being themselves, enjoying things that are seen as "feminine" and "girlish", and if they don't like those things, they're still mocked for "thinking they're boys" and "needing to know their place". And don't get me started on women who fall outside of the gender binary...
Women. Deserve. Better. Everyone deserves better. We need to stop fighting among ourselves, and realize that our seeing each other without any nuance and empathy is just keeping the patriarchy strong. Consider me a man who'll gladly listen to women, no matter what background, culture, race, gender identity, etc, etc, is, and treat them as PEOPLE, rather than as LESSERS.
...Yeah, I definitely cried during this, can't you tell? :')
We need more people like you, seriously
Yeah, this song give so thought for minds. It's not just a song about women hurt by men, but by other womans too, who belives in too harsh judgement, and who are judgemental. I was taking part in religious classes at schoo; and I never uderstood why Eve was considered the symbol of women begin evil or dumn, for disobeing god, siece she was no even able to talk to him like Adam. Was Eve even conscious begin? If she was a clone of Adam (made from rib) then probably not, but in chrisitans wersion she was. And men and women where made as equals.
I also belive that all humans are equals and inportans.
We need more of you in the world! ❤
True empathy should not be exclusive to one gender. We could all learn from each other instead of bickering amongst ourselves most of the time. In this instance I empathize with the women who suffered throughout history and continues to in this day, especially in third world countries where this is common. I only hope the same empathy can be extended to men when they also do, not discounting the suffering women have gone thru. Peace.
This really is what everyone needs to hear. No matted the gender, race, identities(gender or attraction), religion, ect, we all deserve to be treated like our own individual stars who shine in good but some still fall to corruption and decide to hate and shame others for being themselves. However, this is our punishment. As we all know, Adam and Eve were kicked out of Eden for eating the apple, for going against God and that punishment is still pushed on us too. We are punished for the actions of our predecessors, whether Adam and Eve or your ancestors who came from your family, just like the districts from The Hunger Games. Life is The Hunger Games, we are put through struggles like starvation, favoritism, poverty, judgment, suffering, pain, and all major struggles because of what they did. We all wouldn't be here without sin becoming a thing, we are born from sin and imperfection molded together into humans who are complex creatures. None of us would have ever seen the light of day as our past defines us in a sense because what even our parents did before you were born will affect you. An example of this is, my friend is constantly being treated like a horrid individual because of his mother and who she was. No matter, what the cycle continues. We have tried over and over to stop it but the cycle will continue because no one is perfect, maybe things can change but all of this will one day never even matter. The cycle of hatred and shaming society has had will keep up if we don't all try to see each other not just as humans but special and unique individuals who at the end of the day will always be our family by blood or not. Everyone deserves the right to change for the better and to be treated with kindness but some people still won't change and that is honestly their lost. Those who want to change, keep trying. It will be worth it for yourself, even if not everyone can see it you can always become better. People can't control you, you can control yourself. So, work on being the best you can be!!❤
What I find really interesting is that the lyrics are not especially hopeful in the end, but the animation is. Up to us to decide which one we want to follow ...
Eve just looks... Tired.😞
@@davidvaldezjr5546can't blame her
yes! i like that they saved her, but i feel like even the animation isn’t really hopeful at the end. as most people have said, Eve doesn’t look happy, she just looks tired. someone noted that that’s probably because this has happened many many times before, & i think that adds up with the “…as mother dies, and dies, and dies, and dies, and dies…”
so it’s technically a good ending, but it’s also not really happy. idk i think it fits
@@nicobish8085 I interpreted it as the ones that freed her did risk taking her place, and probably did. And she is sad in the end because they are not the first people to speak up and save her. I think she knows that the cycle will repeat and the ones who stood up for her will be punished too. How often do a few people stand up to a mob and come out ok? How often does stepping out of line actually work?
And yet, they felt they needed to try; because maybe one day enough people will follow.
It feels like the song is asking us "Do you want to believe what your eyes see, or do you want to believe what you hear?"
“Villainize victims, slaves to the system” hits so hard. Especially since women can be villainised for being a victim which is not right at all and how women can be slaves to a system that doesn’t favour them. This song is amazing and the animatic is gorgeous!
THIS WAS AMAZING, I LOVED WHEN ANA BOLENE, JOANNE DARC AND A FEW MORE WOMEN APPEARED, THAT WAS PERFECT!!!!
Anne Boleyn, Jean/Jeanne D'Arc (I've seen it spelled both ways), Harriet Tubman...I think the nun might've been Mother Theresa or Florence Nightingale? Those were just the ones I recognized, though.
@@Caitydid561continuing the list: Medusa from Greek mythology and then just every type of woman you can think of
I doubt it's mother Teresa because theirs alot of evidence that she wasnt... a great person.. like at all.
I am pretty sure those at 3:42/3:43 are Hind Khoudary, Plestia Alaqad and Bisan Owda, Palestinian journalists
@@kandicefranky3253I loved Medusa appearing bc I am Greek mythology nerd
I have a theory that Eve's expression at the end is not necessarily a 'happening again to her many times' but more of a representation of the continuation of women being treated and punished so harshly - that it never ended, it was a cycle.
"I'd help you but I risk taking your place"
That hurted
“You think you’ll be savior but can’t do what your preach” woah
This is now my favorite song. It so beautifully and accurately depicts how women are scorn for everything we do no matter what that thing is we do. And not just people tearing us down but other women too.
Damned if we do, damned if we don't.
Who is scorning them?
Now if only men could complain about the same thing without being called privileged or lying because only women have it bad apparently
women are people
@@jt3328 society as a whole. Women can't do shit without being criticized for everything, plus there's the unrealistic beauty standards too.
I like that in the end, even though she is "saved" by some of her daughters, Eve is still heartbroken by the betrayal of the others and the fact that she knows that history repeat itself T-T thank you for such a beautiful song
STRAIGHT on to the girl power playlist
Yes
In mine too 💜
I loved the reference to Anne, she was framed for heinous crimes and died keeping her cool.
Which heinous crimes? I honestly don't know. Please do tell me.
@@prachiprajapati22Among others, she was accused of cheating on Henry IIIV, and was said to have bewitched him into divorcing Catherine of Aragon, which were practical death sentences among common folk, but it was especially bad considering Nobility. Now, we wouldn't assume them heinous, but back then they were
@@JustASillyReallyNah, cheating and incest are still heinous (though I wouldn't say the same about witchcraft). Regardless, Anne Boleyn had been completely innocent. Henry only abused his power as the monarch to charge false accusations against her so he could get her out of the picture and move on to "pretty and innocent little" Jane for his precious son🙄
@@ronaleebhuyan1724 I do agree, but I meant it in the context of 'it was a bigger deal back then to cheat'. Incest was not at all heinous back then, it was common for Royalty, but it is now because we know the consequences now.
And yeah, Anne was very much accused. She wasn't innocent in the slightest, but she was accused without any truth
KATHERINE HOWARD WAS A CHILD WHOS AGE IS RANGE FROM 16 TO 21 WHO WAS RAPED HER WHOLE CHILDHOOD THEN SOLD AS A SEX SLAVE AND THEN RAPED AGAIN AND THEN SHE GOT BEHEADED FOR WHAT. Katherine Howard and lady Jane grey were most innocent queens out of Tudors era, who never wanted to hurt anyone and who haven’t done anything wrong, even if Katherine did cheat and was not raped it still don’t makes her bad person, because she was a child, and honestly f**k Henry he deserved worse. They’re also so similar……wish they were fleshed out more, Jane Grey’s story and English revolution is honestly so interesting, imagine if someone picks her story like with Alexander Hamilton and makes a musical it would be so fun lol. Shout out to first queen of England and main genius of her era, and 5th wife and most sweet out of sweethearts Jane Grey and Katherine Howard.
As a woman who lives in a country where gender discrimination is severe, I love this song
People saying "I hope we can forgive Eve"... guys, the song is about pleading with Eve to forgive us, not the other way around. We villainised her, disdained her, called her the original sinner, blamed her for our "sins", when in fact she was put in a cruel, impossible situation by an omniscient deity who knew her weaknesses and knew what she would choose and punished her when she did the very thing that was expected of her. Giving someone "free will" and punishing them when they don't make the choice you wanted them to make isn't free will at all. It is calculated cruelty. Giving humans sentience and asking them to behave like puppets is not and could never be the act of a loving god. Eve's choice to eat from the tree of knowledge embodied the pursuit of autonomy and embracing curiosity. Commendable qualities. It's not her fault humanity fell from grace. The system was corrupt and tyrannical from the beginning.
It’s less about being punished for a wrong choice and more about facing the consequences for your actions. The Genesis story starts from the supposition that something went wrong-the author looked around and saw that we were not living in a perfect world and that we often hurt each other and ourselves.
So what went wrong? According to the Genesis story, we reached out for knowledge before the proper time. We chose our own will over the will of our Creator, mistrusting that our Creator had our best interests at heart.
That choice sundered us from our Creator. Not because he wanted that for us, but because that’s what happens when you turn away from someone. But what happens next? The Genesis story continues with the promise of redemption. The same Creator one, takes away access to immortal life on earth (the tree of life), so that people do not suffer endlessly, and two, promises a redeemer.
Bridging the gap between God and humans takes a unique situation: it takes God becoming human, himself. To repair the relationship, to balance justice and mercy, and to bring us back to himself, he becomes man and dies for our sins, including that original breach. Then, he rises from the dead, destroying even the hold of mortality upon us.
And that is the Judeo-Christian story in a nutshell.
To your point, I believe we can extend compassion to Eve, while also asking for her forgiveness, too. Because we all bear our own responsibility for our own actions.
And trust me, people have absolutely misused the Genesis story to villainize Eve and, therefore, all women. Looking at you, Milton…. But I thought maybe you would be interested to hear this take on the story and know that it isn’t meant, at its heart, to grind Eve into the dust.
She is the first woman-that is glorious beyond words. She fell-that is human beyond words. She was redeemed-and that is hopeful beyond words. ❤
You misunderstand how the story goes cause yes Eve ate the apple but humanity was ultimately cast out cause neither Adam or Eve took accountability. Eve blamed the snake and Adam blamed god for making Eve. If either one had taken responsibility they likely would have been able to stay
@@marissabulso6439 Who's Milton?
@@marissabulso6439 But the story is bullshit, how can someone know right from wrong without the knowledge of good and evil. She was punished for not following orders as lilith was before her. God can eat my entire ass, he set traps for those women and blamed them for falling in!
Eve never needed redemption, its god who needs to be redeemed for his own sins of pride.
@@marissabulso6439 Also God used her to bring about redemption, if it had just been Adam, Jesus couldn't have been born. Especially in the virgin birth we see that God used women to accomplish his will, so many times in so many places. So to say that the Bible villainizes Eve is quite nonsensical.
Mother to all, villain to the Bible, distorted example to women, victimized by men. The first woman was condemned by patriarchy. The sadness I feel for her, the maternal and naturistic bond I have for her. The heartache I have for every one of her daughters, alive and dead, breathing but defiled. It is all summarized into this song. Thank you.
Literally, none of the Apostles villainized Eve. In fact, St. Peter HATED Adam for taking the bite
Even though Eve was the first to eat of the fruit, Christianity considers Adam responsible for Original Sin, not Eve
My entire life I've only heard Eve being blamed for eating the apple. When I got my menstruation I was told "Blame Eve for eating the fruit," whenever I was in pain or inconvenienced. Every conversation about the topic of sin, it always reverted back to Eve and her taking the first bite. Even when I bring up that Adam was there and could have stopped her at any time, that the serpent deliberately manipulated her its always met with "But, she should have just not eaten it!!"
It's sad. Just for further in the bible she is used as an example of why women should be suppressed; her punishment for falling victim to manipulation.
Genesis 3:6 "So when the woman saw that the tree was good for food, that it was pleasant to the eyes, and a tree desirable to make one wise, she took of its fruit and ate. She also gave it to her husband with her, and he ate."
Genesis 3:16 "To the woman He said: 'I will greatly multiply your sorrow and your conception; In pain you shall bring forth children; Your desire shall be for your husband, and he shall rule over you.' "
1 Corinthians 11:8 "For a man indeed ought not to cover his head, since he is the image and glory of God; but woman is the glory of man. For man is not from woman, but woman from man. Nor was man created for the woman, but woman for the man. For this reason the woman ought to have a symbol of authority on her head, because of the angels." (Even though immediately Paul says that both men and women are equal in God: if so, then why is a woman to be covered but not men??)
@jadegemstone9580 The people who told you Eve was the one to blame are dumb. Even St. Peter blamed Adam for original sin
@@jadegemstone9580 Eve always gets blamed for shit yet Adam gets off scot-free.
I started bawling when the little girl stood up. A lovely song and a simple yet poignant jab at the way systemic misogyny strives to make us complicit in our oppression.
As a man and someone who tries to stay clear of probably too many things for fear of doing something wrong, it’s tragic to hear this song and read so many comments of women relating to this song and feeling put down by the world. I love the artistry of the song and I hope that the slow change of the world speeds up a bit to give everyone a better life.
What's even more tragic is that men relate just as much and yet only women get to talk about it
what helps is reading/listening to stories as much as you can (in fancy terms "educating yourself"). One day you might realize "hey, I can cite like 10 sources which prove this person's wrong!" And boom, suddenly you know things. Also it keeps you actively engaging with the problems without forcing you to do things you're uncomfortable with (like speaking in public) but you can work towards that kinda stuff if you want to.
@dandelion_16 What? What dors that have to do with anything. Help what?
Last I checked, no one else here needed to cite sources about their personal experiences.
It doesn't feel like it's women's experiences being invalidated here.
@@gurun8071 The song doesn't invalidate men's experiences. It focuses on women's experiences. You can write a song about men's experiences. Do you dispute the information provided in the song?
@@gurun8071 love this. Humanity as a whole is a mix of sensitivity, strength, empathy, cruelty, and kindness. We all fall on a spectrum, almost irreverently of gender a lot of the time. We need the stories of men who, too, don't fit the binary. Boys don't cry is a genuine sentiment.
The ammazing thing about Eve is that she is the reason there's human life on earth (if you're religious). Many people and churches skip over the part that Adam and Eve had no idea how to procreate, but were commanded to. They were also told not to eat of the fruit from the tree of knowledge. She made the choice to eat and when she did she discovered the knowledge she needed to follow that commandment. But in doing so they were cast from the garden and were made to labor for their food, age, and die. For her choice to sacrifice and get that knowledge, she has been ostracized and villianized for thousands of years.
Okay this was a musical and a storytelling masterpiece! It tells how the people who fought for a better world only wanted is to be in harmony but look at us once again we're at war again. Whether it be between countries or religion or gender or colour and i can go on. But our ancestors probably would be saddened to see us.
The feminine rage in this song is beautiful I love this so much
Damn Lydia that deep, especially about Eve & everyone else struggling to do what is right 👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽❤😢, and I have to admit it almost made me cry
Just the title "Don't Cry For Your Daughters Eve" is enough of a tear jerker. I'm not Christian, but if I were the first woman and my kids ended up like we are now, I don't think I can imagine how I'd feel 😭
Did she even want to be mother? Was she just forced to give birth and then they curse her.
I think my favourite part is when the girl starts to speak it gives all the women who were too afraid to help but wanted to the confidence to help. One voice on its own caused a chorus that bought positive action
I always found it weird when people would blame Eve more then Adam, because they both committed the first sin.
Edit: Read the replies
Well Eve was the one to take the first bite. That is all. But what people fail to realize is that it could have easily been Adam the one to take that first bite. They both were there and listened to the serpent aka Satan. And they both took a bite. It just so happened to be Eve to take the first bite.
@@SarahfortheGraceofGod
They did not both listen to satan. Eve listened to the serpant and Adam listened to Eve.
God had told Adam directly not to eat from the tree. Eve was relayed this rule through Adam. As such, the punishment was not as severe when she took a bite.
Something to note is that when Eve ate the fruit, nothing happened. But when Adam bit it, both of them lost their innocence as they were filled with knowledge. This is because the Bible actually holds Adam more accountable for this transgression than Eve. Adam was created first and given a direct order to follow. Sort of like the expectations of an elder sibling versus a younger sibling situation.
This is even reflected in their punishments.
Eve's punishment was the pain of childbirth and being considered lesser than men.
Adam's punishment was literal death and the struggle to survive.
Romans 5:17 KJV
[17] For if by one man's offence death reigned by one; much more they which receive abundance of grace and of the gift of righteousness shall reign in life by one, Jesus Christ.)
The Bible frequently blames Adam, almost never even mentioning Eve, for the death of mankind and their sinful ways.
The so-called "religious" people who pin the blame on Eve for bringing sin into the world are just spewing out their own narrative at that point. It stuck for centuries because many people were illiterate in older days and could not correct them. But it is sad to see these people still spewing this narrative CONTRARY to the bible and faith that they claim to be a part of.
Christian here, even though Eve was the first to eat of the fruit, Adam is considered responsible for Original Sin, not Eve
Muslim here, we don't blame any of them, just the devil.
As Christian, I can say that in the Bible Adam is blamed as mush as Eve. They both commited the first sin and they both got punishment of it. Unfortunately, since many people uses religion to justify their own cruel beliefs and evil actions, they blame Eve more and even make it a reason to neglet all other women (while, in Christianity, you should have love and respect for EVERY human, no matter if it's man or woman, sinner or saint). This thing always upsets me.

"villainize victims, slave to a system" GENIUS 🧘🏻♀️
I’ve made you a character in a dungeons and dragons campaign I run. And will play your songs on the speakers every so often as you grant the adventuring party “bardic inspiration” I’m at a point where I wasn’t 100% sure what your character would get up to next. After hearing this. It’s now going to be establishing and running a community entirely lead by women that will quickly become a dominant power in the region by the next time the group bumps into you :)
This really is gorgeous. From the animatic storytelling to the song's message itself. It's about a struggle that women face, a struggle many minorities face, where they can't do right by everyone and are scorned for everything they try instead. From the switching of women scorned for what they did to make things better for themselves or their families, being shown as the villains instead of the pathway into evolution. And I love how it went from older models to younger women, more modern women who still deal with the condemning of others because of everything they are and more. And I LOVE how the final order of images go from Lydia to Eve to the young girl. It shows that the focus now isn't for the older people who've learned to stand by, it's for the new generation who shouldn't put up with this fate and break the cycle. A message to the next generation to be weary that so many have already fallen victim to it but only the young generation can change things.
This was so brilliant, the repetition, and the folksy vibe just add to the dark demeanor. Like this is a warning from the narrator (Lydia) who saw this first hand and is warning the younger about the cycle. In a world where we're all told to follow the status quo, to condemn and just take it if you 'deserve' it, we need to stand against all of this.
Brilliant, Lydia!
this is such a great analysis!
My names eve and I was raised in the church and I don't know how to explain how this video and your song gave me chills. Ive never seen eve as the victim before, only the villain
Read Genesis through fresh eyes. She was a pawn, and then punished for it.
I'm a cis straight man and I still cried watching this...especially the part where all of the women who died because of the man's ego appear like 😭😭😭😭😭
God I get chills every time at the bridge.
When the bell doth toll, the ringing calls out for us all.
Siren, Temptress, Witch,
Anne she stands without a stitch.
A lesson never learned,
*Speak too loud, we'll see you burn.*
And your reflection seems
TO LOOK A WHOLE LOT LIKE THAT EVE...
When the bell doth toll, the ringing calls out for us all-
*The ringing calls out for us all!*
Every time, y'all. Every. Time.
I think alongside the little girl being the first to speak up, the fact that a bunch of poc being amongst those to vouch for her cause is also very potent. They've always been at the forefront of a lot of change and that isn't to take away from the non-poc that have fought, it just feels very important to me. Maybe I'm overthinking, maybe I'm not. That's just one of the many things I observed in this masterpiece of a song.
Im sorry, but whats poc-?
@@LunaSilver90211 Person of color. Everyone suffers under the patriarchy, but black women and native women have debatably the hardest time as they're the most likely to be taken advantage of by police and the government in general. The statistics are.. extremely depressing to look at.
@@LunaSilver90211 people of color I think?
I agree! Its very important detail. I read somewhere a quote that said "who fights against oppression? Those who know oppression." And another quote "the more privelege you have, the less empathy you have." And so it'd make sense if POC were among the first to stand up!
i cried when they were like 'I'd help you but i risk taking your place' like that hits you so hard
"Villianize victims, slave to a system" that, is the very sad truth of the world we live in
This story is so much darker than I thought
seeing the one frame with the albino woman when the different women were being shown means more to me than it should lol, you never see albinos when it comes to reprisenting different types of people
At 3:19 on the song, that part reminded me of the last few verses in the song Labour, aka another song about a woman being treated badly by a man. Idk if it was intentional, but it was cool
I thought it reminded me of something!
And the way the narrative is led reminds me of "As good as a reason", another female rage song from Paris Paloma
The irony of blaming Eve for sin is look at the actual story in the Bible (even you if you don't believe it sit fascinating). God gives the rule about the tree to Adam, BEFORE Eve was created, mean Adam would have been the one to teach Eve the rules, and when the snake tells Eve eat the apple, Adam is RIGHT THERE. It says, "And she gave some to her husband" not she went look for him, no he was right there with her.
The Bible was written and translated by men and it shows. Reason 352 that I chose to study theology. Learned so much.
Exactly, no actually practicing blames Eve, in fact St. Peter HATES Adam for the aforementioned reasons
While I understand what you mean, saying that all men are that way or even that the Bible shows that it was written by men are inaccurate. Consider that Paul blames Adam for eating the fruit, but he says that Eve was deceived. He acknowledged that it wasn't Eve's fault, but her husband who was with her, Adam.
True point. And logically not all men can be like that. And yes the Bible as written by Spirit empowered people shows the falls in humanity, not just men or women.
What I meant by that is the way that the Bible as we have today shows that it was translated by men and often taught by men, growing up in my church culture I was told women were the fall of humanity. I was well into adulthood when it dawned on me that Adum has to have been present in the story, not off working in some field. A different experience would shape how one views critical moments in the Bible..
@@FreedomeSeeker It sounds like you grew up around a bunch of not so nice or accurate people. My Dad is a faithful pastor who studies the word night and day and teaches it faithfully (he also knows and uses the original languages to do so). I never grew up hearing that woman caused the fall of humanity and never came to that conclusion from reading my English copy of the Bible-which I have read thoroughly many times (fyi I use NKJV). Only heard stuff like that from a few people and those people are never people who actually know their Bibles.
@FreedomeSeeker In my experience it's also only those who are petty who teach those false doctrines. Too many people don't look at their Bibles to confirm what's being said and will end up thinking the strangest things because they mix up what they think and what the Bible actually teaches.
The reformed at the Westminster Assembly back in the 1600's knew and taught that Adam was the cause of the fall (see Westminster Shorter Catechism 16 and 18).
It probably has more to do with the state of the church today, the fact that actual believers are spread quite thin, and that almost no one actually cares to study the scriptures thoroughly and often just try to use them to support what they are saying instead of showing what God is saying through His Holy Inspired Words. It's actually very easy to twist anything anyone says to mean the exact opposite of what they say if one is careful or careless enough...
Who else is ready?
Me!!!
We are in for a wild ride
I was not ready.
Me
Im not sure if this is the intention but i kind of interpret it like this:
Eve, forever cursed to reincarnate and see the pain she allegedly caused, always as a woman- always second class. feeling the pain and the villanisation, often executed before being forced to do it again and again keeping all the memories of torment.
The repetitive cycle of martyrdom be it for a cause or injustice hits hard. Generational curses, curses, women casting on roles that they are forced into or felt like they had to to save their families, countries, or protect those precious. Eves being heroes, known victims who weren’t saved. Some dying because of unfair trials, sexism, religious hubris and political decisions the rest discarded because they were women in general. I love how beautifully haunting this was, I even saw the transition from historical figures to unknown or barely mentioned, I also love the symbolism as well as you putting your own self in this to represent that you too are an Eve as every other women.
THIS SONG IS AN ABSOLUTE MASTERPIECE, CAN'T STOP SINGING IT OUT LOUD 💚
The Salem Witch Trials where a horrible point in time
It was essentially metoo
But what about the witches
@@ImTheReal1there were no witches
@@tayschannel2695 there were bro there’s still witches today
@@ImTheReal1 um….no
Mormon here. (I know, I know. I know.) We know the truth about Mother Eve. She recognized the contradiction before Adam, between the two commandments: to multiply and replenish the Earth. And to not eat of the fruit of the Knowledge of Good and Evil, lest we lose our innocence and become accountable for our thoughts and actions...
She realized there was no other way. She had the wisdom to make the necessary choice to allow us to learn and progress, if we chose. And we are very grateful for that.
Edit: I stumbled upon this after listening to Epic the Musical (repeatedly). If you haven't yet, don't miss it. Very Good!
I love Epic, it is very good, happy to see someone else likes it
Which epic musical?
Therefore you believe that Eve ate the fruit because she knew the only way humanity could progress is to make mistakes and learn from them, which wouldn't happen if we were still in Eden? (No irony here, that's an interesting take to a catholic)
This could just be me misunderstanding it, but that means if she made the choice before eating the fruit, she was still Innocent and not yet accountable for her thoughts and actions, which means that someone gave her the wisdom to make a choice instead of giving Adam the wisdom...
That's interesting. I didn't know. I like how they've framed her decision. How do they teach you about Lillith? You don't have to reply if you'd rather not, i'm just curious.
feel bad for all who struggle, male and female as they suffer. they all deserve better and should be happy. work together and treated as equals, not one getting the full blame from the other; no matter their culture, race or background. being seen as different shouldn't mean they get treated badly nor should they be blamed for what a minority of their group have done.
grate song by the way!
Finally there's one other person who mentions men too, thank you
And of course the rebellion started with the youngest girl, a good representation of how much can happen with the voice of one and how it is usually the younger generation that sparks it by following the past rebellions people did before them
I broke into tears at the end where the different women threw history are shown who stood up and shunned do immediately by the world around them, especially medusa‘s part and jeanne d‘arc hurt The hardest because of them being destroyed by the gods they prayed to.
can you please explain more about why jeanne darc was mentioned in this song? :)
@@perlapamela2023 sure, jeanne d´arc was from a french peasent family during the 100 year war between france and britain, till one day she said she heard the voice of a angel speaking down to her, telling her god has given her the duty to lead france in the war against britain and free france from the brits tyranny. so she went on her way, forming a army and fighting with it against the brits, all while keeping up her christian believes and moral, fighting successful against the brits. That was until the brits captured her and put her on trial for being a heretic witch. jeanne d´arc refusing to submit to the will of the brits and keeping her believe denied any acusations of, but in the end she was executed. on the way to the stake to be burned she kept praying to god to forgive the ones wronging her, she kept praying this all while she also was burning at the stake, and so she died at the age of 19. She was a freedom fighter who never has let down her ideals and always kept fighting, and for this was executed as a witch, like so many before her. and the worst part is that she was trialed and executed in france by a french bishop, she was killed by the very people she fought for.
See, I don’t know what this fandom is, or if it’s just an oc thing. But the title IMMEDIATELY reminded me of the Catholic prayer, the Hail Holy Queen. It starts like this:
“Hail Holy Queen, Mother of Mercy, our life, our sweetness, and our hope; to thee do we cry, poor banished children of Eve. To thee do we send up our sighs, mourning and weeping in this valley of tears.”
Dont know why I thought of it, but I thought I’d share!
Beautiful animatic, btw!
The fandom is...the Bible. The girl with the green hair is just Lydia's own bard character featured in all of her videos. I suspect some of the other characters represent some of the collaborating artists. The song is about actual Eve from Genesis and the millennia of feminine rage that's been building up ever since she was held accountable for a choice she made while she still had innocence. It asks her to forgive us for using her as the ultimate scapegoat while women fight one another under a system that benefits from that strife. That's my interpretation, anyway.
Eve is our mother, she is tired, i saw it, i forgive her. ❤ also, stop burning people!
It's starting!!!!
I don't think I've ever actually gasped for breath listening to a song before, but wow. I just did. This is beautiful.
SAME!!! Omg "the bell tolls for us all" part got my chest down right spasming 😭
Honey, this was so damn powerful... And so damn true. And it feels so crushing and hopeless as we try over and over and make headway to only hit wall after wall after wall. But we keep trying.
Same for men but no one ever listens
@@gurun8071 We're all just trying to survive.
@@daughteroflust6666 indeed we are
This is your sound Lydia my gods, you concentrated the generations of rage women have felt since the dawn of time. You remind me of Paris Paloma in that way. This was an incredible work of art and everyone who made it come alive should be giving themselves one hell of a pat on the back. Loved listening to Afraid Of Quiet as well, hope that one gets its own video as well
Brilliant! And very true, we struggle to stand up and be heard only to be shot down, it isn't fair.
Aside from the obvious story about how women were/are treated, it’s also a perfect story about how abuse and hate keeps the cycle going and what happens if we don’t dare speak up and instead join the devils
I love that you showed a crucial part in the psychology in scapegoating: Social cohesion. Even when we start to think "Maybe I'm not thinking straight." "Maybe I'm ignoring my morals", we see that everybody else is doing it. So we decide that makes it okay. We decide to keep spewing hateful names. We decide to keep throwing stones. And in our unity, we get a twisted sense of empowerment.
Oh my god these lyrics 'goddess, god-less, all alone', EVERY LINE IS PERFECTION, I love the melody, the repetition, the near poetic lines!!!
The final chorus, between the visuals and the audio and the atmosphere and the building tension and just everything else... *chef's kiss*.
I hardly ever find myself sitting with a sense of inspiration but shit... I got goosebumps. Well done, masterfully crafted.
Eve: Even if I want, I cant cry for you my daughters. My tears dry looong ago, when I did see with my own eyes how they turn us into the scapegoats of all problems. Rage and hitting us and then us blaming each other, only so we dont see the problem.I have seen many of you turning great, leaving your mark in legends and history!Feeling proud of being your mother, only for them end up betrayed,half forgotten or turn evil. But my daughters dont forget, that even if I cant or you dont want me to cry, I will still do it, because cry and watch over you is the only things they (and you sometimes daughters) left me do as a mother
We need more stories from pre-colonial matriarchal societies to counteract the inmense sadness I feel for this, and maybe fuel the rage and anger I feel too.
Like this comment if you love Lydia and her songs! 👍
As someone who’ve been dealt with a shitty parents and treatment from every people in school before graduation, all I could say they made a monster and human.
Crying, throwing up. It’s so sad to imagine her existing and looking down on us in despair, unable to do anything. All our ancestors for that matter. I’m sorry Eve. We’re still fighting for us and our daughters and we will continue till we’re free.❤️🩹
Bless you all❤️🩹
I gotta say there’s not much that moves me to tears but this is now on the list
I can't wait to see & hear this orginal song that you've renewed.
This is just a theory, but I’m pretty certain it is true, the lyrics: Ruled by religion, they speak but we listen means , that we were listening more to preachers than God, also meaning that the Bibles scripture in churches are changed to the preachers belief instead of what God actually says in the bible) Now y’all don’t have to believe me, but what I’m saying now I’m saying it is theory but it’s the actual truth.
welp, eve may not be crying but i sure am. this is amazing, thank you lydia.
the song is very good, and im sad that even tho eve made the first mistake, adam also ignored the rule, but still even in punishment eve got the heavy lifting
Ok well, Adam had to work the land and take care of his family. Even tho Eve had childbirth and was in pain, Adam had to work for the rest of his life for food, stability, and a place for his family to rest. It's easy to look at what happened to Eve but not Adam. Not trying to say that women don't need encouragement, but I am saying that we need to recognize that men have it hard too.
@@azimaon4294True. Most of the blame was shifted to Eve regardless.
Christianity considers Adam responsible for Original Sin, Adam is blamed, not Eve
@@MichaelTheCorpse not always, it depends on your denomination, your church/family within that denomination, and how insane they are.
@@Izzy-cp8yt Oh absolutely, some are super sexist and go the whole 'women are the root of all evil' some swing into 'Adam wasn't in charge enought to that's what went wrong' and then there are the sane people who realize it's a very complicated matter that it actually a great example of the complexity of human bonds if looked at appropriatly... Alas there are not enough of us Christians who do that.
And now I'm crying. I've listened to this song on Spotify so many times but it hits so harder with the video. Thank you, thank you so much. I also love how every single pictured person is a woman, since this song is about how the patriarchy hurts women, not how man hurts woman. This isn't a song condemning man it shows how women can hurt each other.
It's not often a music video makes me cry, but this one managed it. So beautiful. So sad. So true. Thank you!
Damn. I had to hold back tears. I wonder how it would be to work with Eve with Lilith at her side.
The Lilith story isn't biblical, Adam didn't originally have a wife named Lilith, it's a myth developed much later
@@MichaelTheCorpseLilith is a part of Jewish mythology. Even if Lilith came later, so what? Lilith is a wonderful Goddess when trying to recover from religious trauma. Even if Lilith came later, the fact that Eve never became a demoness is very impressive to me.
@@lunawolf3645 I just wanted to correct some misinformation, don't worry, I'm sorry for whatever trauma you went through, we true Christians don't wish for anyone to have trauma 🙏
Probably the most tense I've ever been for a lullaby. 😶 Holy crap this is good.
me silently crying due to religous trauma, but i love it at the same time. eve would be disappointed in us all, not matter if we followed religon or not. because we have been conditioned to hate each other and to hate ourselves. she would also see what her choice caused, and she wouldnt be happy with herself, causing her to become our fate as well.
It is believed that has BOTH Adam and Eve took responsibility for their actions they would have been forgiven
Damn I get so sad thinking what Eve and Adam’s age mentally was probably like 10 years old, they were curios little kids who never knew about bad and evil existing. And what it means. But the second they did a mistake their father (btw don’t what makes them siblings……their family is full of incest damn) kicked them out into a cruel world. Of course most of sh** was done by their grandkids but still.
@tayschannel2695 1. They were already adults who were focused on tending The Garden, and they were warned by God NOT to eat the fruit from the Tree of Knowledge. The adversary wore down Eve into eating it, who in turn wore down Adam. It is believed that had both Adam and Eve sincerely repented and not put the blame on others, they would have been forgiven
@@tayschannel2695 It's not insest
@@petervizzini4006 I know they were warned, but did they actually understood what evil is? They lived in most pure place ever, there was no bad, how could they know what bad actually is? Just do what their father wants without understanding why? I actually don’t really understand why biting the apple was bad, like it didn’t gave Lucifer the power, and many say what it didn’t gave them any negative emotions (which would give them free will) so why it was forbidden? I, not arguing I’m just really curious. So they didn’t do something really bad, they were just….kids what were curious? Yeah they might’ve blamed each other, but is what such an awful thing to be punished to live in a world filled with sufferings, and curse all descendants of them what are going to billions to suffer so much? Just because they ate one apple and had a fight about it?
Just seeing the weariness, pain, exhaustion, heartbreak, and helplessness on Eve's face even after she's freed just tells you she's pretty much given up hope on her "daughters," hell, everyone!!! And that just broke my heart. She makes one mistake, as does Adam yet SHE'S the one that gets the most blame, not Adam. Excuse me, but did they or did they NOT both eat from the forbidden fruit??? You don't need glasses to see what REALLY happened. 🤦🤦🤦 I mean, what the actual eff!?!?!? Uuughhh!!! It's just so unjust and cruel. Poor Eve. I really feel for her in this song. The way Lydia wrote her in the song makes Eve much more sympathetic, realistic, relatable, complex and most importantly, utterly human in every way. More than the Bible ever could. This is a powerful and heartbreaking masterpiece!!! More people need to hear it. Beautifully done Lydia!!! ❤❤❤
Biblically speaking, Adam is the one who is blamed for entirely for the original sin.
You're wrong, according to Christianity, Adam is blamed for Original Sin, Adam is considered responsible, not Eve
@@petervizzini4006Correct
Ohhhh. 🤦🤦🤦I forgot. I got it mixed up. Boy, do I feel stupid!!! Thank you for being so kind in correcting me.
@kateluxor2986 There's no need for sarcasm. I just don't want false information to spread, granted I should have explained myself better. If you're interested in learning more about Adam and Eve, the writings of Saint Peter are a good place to start
I love your videos so much, Lydia! 💚💚💚😊
This is such a great wong about the cycle of internalised misogyny.
WHAT A WONDERFUL DAY! ❤
You sound like a warboy seeking Valhalla.
This literally made me cry. Especially the part at the end that starts like mother, naiden, crone, after that i always just start sobbing 😭
The animatics for your songs are always amazing. But somehow this one was even better. No words could describe how this made me feel adequately. Thank you for putting this into words.
0:48 this part sounds like ‘rule the quiet’ the Delores villain song she made ‘use your words dear, oh wait you can’t!’ And whenever I listen to this, I have to listen to that after because it would be stuck in my head the whole day otherwise
new hyperfixation alert!! THIS WAS THE BEST THE BIT WHERE A BUNCH OF PEOPLE SANG?? YES??? ITS SOO BLOODY AMAZING
Чувствуется что создатели вложили в эту песню душу. Нюансов я не поняла 😅, (по тому что дословно перевод не понимаю), но общую мысль уловила быстро. Очень злободневненько, как не странно, даже сейчас. Спасибо за этот трек!
This song has left me speechless the part were Eve feels helpless is amazingly captured
I started crying 😢 I haven’t cried this much since the song labor
The feminine rage is amazinggggg and love all the women in history. Plestia and Bisan being in this was amazing 🍉🍉🍉❤️❤️❤️
I definitely enjoyed this song more than I should ♥️ I loved the symbolism of having the young girl speak up against Eve’s burning 🥹Well done all around
So many chills! Also the music video for this?? Absolutely stellar, the range of women was beautiful
ABSOLUTELY LOVELY SONG!💚 I’M SO GLAD I GOT TO WATCH THE PREMIERE!💚
This is so interesting to me, because at a Catholic retreat, I actually heard it taught that Eve helped save mankind during the fall because she took more responsibility than Adam (Adam blamed Eve and blamed God a bit too by saying “it was the woman you gave me,” but Eve gave him more straightforward retelling of the events by saying “the serpent told me to eat it, so I did”). But I was told that her taking more of the responsibility had made God more merciful which seems the opposite of what others have learned.
I found this 3 times.
The first time was on my instagram reels and i thought: "wait i know this voice."
The second time was on tiktok, i watched it again and again, repeated the same video many times.
The third time i went to find the whole song, and here i am, getting chills down my spine every time i listen to it.
I may not fully comprehend or interpret the lyrics how many would, but regardless, the voice sends a powerful message just by listening to it. (english is not my first language, but i wanted to convey how i felt about this song, it's powerful.)
Powerful message. Adore the the song, all around bop,
