Blue Eyes
Cary Brothers Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning | Line by Line Meaning
Window broke, torn up screens
Who'd have thought that you'd dream
Of a single tragic scene
I just want to sing a song with you
I just want to take it off of you
'Cause Blue Eyes
You are all that I need
'Cause Blue Eyes
You're the sweet to my mean
Fess it up, dot on the palm of your hand
I can help you to stand
Saved it up for this dance
Tell me all the things you can
I just want to sing a song with you
I just want to be the one that's true
'Cause Blue Eyes
You're the secret I keep
'Cause Blue Eyes
All the lights on and you are alive
But you can't point the way to your heart
So sublime, when the stars are aligned
But you don't know
You don't know the greatness you are
'Cause Blue Eyes
You are destiny's scene
'Cause Blue Eyes
I just want to be the one
I just want to sing a song with you
I just want to get it on with you
'Cause Blue Eyes
You're the secret I keep
'Cause Blue Eyes
I just want to sing a song with you
I just want to sing a song with you
I just want to sing a song with you
The lyrics of the song "Blue Eyes" by Cary Brothers are a mix of poetic and romantic expressions, revolving around the theme of love and relationship. The song captures the feelings of a person deeply in love with someone with blue eyes, whom they consider the sweet to their mean, the secret they keep, and destiny's scene. The song opens with the lines "Wish enough, wise man'll tell you a lie, Window broke, torn up screens, Who'd have thought that you'd dream, Of a single tragic scene," which suggest that despite the lies and brokenness that life offers, the person still dreams of a single scene with their loved one.
The chorus mainly focuses on the blue eyes of the loved one as a central point of the person's fascination and attraction. The lines "All the lights on and you are alive, But you can't point the way to your heart, So sublime when the stars are aligned, But you don't know, You don't know the greatness you are" reflect the singer's perception of the person they love as someone who doesn't fully realize their potential and the depth of their greatness, and how they wish to be with them and make them recognize their value. The song ends on a whimsical and romantic note as the singer expresses the desire to sing a song with their love interest, bringing a sense of emotional intimacy and connection.
