This Apple is Bittersweet

A song I wrote inspired by Genesis, the first book of the Bible.

THIS APPLE IS BITTERSWEET

 

Now the bitterness sets in

From the sweetest bite of sin

Can you feel it trickling down

the rotten core is now unbound

The fall of man has come to pass

We've forsaken our God so fast

 

Bite down

Remove his crown

And hide your shame

Hide your shame

Just hide your shame

 

Did the apple please the tongue

Would you have eaten more than one

The burning has consumed your heart

And you and God drifted apart

Now cough and choke and spit it up

And grab His outstretched hand of love

 

Reach out

Hold on tight now

And don't let go

Never let go

Don't you let go

This is very good. I like the part where you repeat about hiding your shame in the second stanza, it emphasizes the 'biting' the apple action
Did the apple please the tongue

Would you have eaten more than one

The burning has consumed your heart

And you and God drifted apart

Now cough and choke and spit it up

And grab His outstretched hand of love

That verse is very well written, i like the question you ask, would you hav wanted more than one, and the part where you spit it out rflects your reaction to having made the wrong dcision and taking His outstretched hand showing the forgiveness. Very well done.

Right to the core the bittersweet sets in


"From the sweetest bite of sin"


Not only is the insight revealed to the heart of God


Would you have eaten more than one

The burning has consumed your heart

And you and God drifted apart

Now cough and choke and spit it up

And grab His outstretched hand of love



Very wonderful concepts reveals! Great piece that speaks to all hearts

Good imagery in this one. I enjoy your religious themes. I enjoyed this one as well. Good connections and good messages...

Very strong images! I love the metaphore of the apple as sin. This one should definitely be published.
