Blue Eyes
Middle Brother Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
But mine have always been that way
Soft kisses are hard to buy
Been knocked down since yesterday
A black eye and a blue heart
And a blue heart and your soft kiss
Don't get me started by holding your hand
You'll send my ass to the hospital again
I've been lookin' for some time
In a room full of pennies for my dime
Well it ain't easy to find
A girl like you to be mine
Just a look at you made my heart skip
And a think of you does jumping-jacks
Told myself that you're the one
And I told myself I could get you back
When I came back you still weren't mine
Then I left again and you still weren't mine
I'm back again so just be mine
I am so tired of runnin'
I've been looking for some time
In a room full of numbers for my prime
But it ain't easy to find
A girl like you to be mine
She's a southern girl without a drawl
She's a good girl who wears black bras
Only one who could make me crawl
But she's just too sweet to force me
Got a hard head but not on her
I got a foul mouth that she's never heard
Hear her sing just like a bird
She'll write a song about me
I've been looking for some time
In a room full of numbers for my prime
It ain't easy to find
A girl like you to be mine
The song "Blue Eyes" by Middle Brother is a heartfelt and emotional piece that tells the story of a man who is struggling to win the affection of a woman he truly loves. The opening lines set the tone for the entire song, with the singer describing how the woman’s eyes, which were once blue, have turned green. This could symbolize a change in the woman, perhaps showing that she is no longer as innocent or pure as she once was. The singer, on the other hand, has always had green eyes, perhaps indicating a lack of clarity in his feelings towards the woman.
The next few lines describe the difficulties the singer has faced in his pursuit of the woman's love. He has been knocked down (both literally and figuratively), and he has a black eye and a blue heart. Despite this, he still longs for the woman's soft kiss. However, the singer is aware that even holding her hand could result in another trip to the hospital. This could suggest that their relationship is volatile and passionate, with a tendency to turn violent.
The rest of the song goes on to describe the singer’s continued attempts to win the woman's affections. He compares her to a dime in a room full of pennies, indicating that he sees her as someone special and unique. However, he also acknowledges that it is not easy to find someone like her. The singer describes the woman as a southern girl who wears black bras, highlighting her rebellious nature. Despite this, the woman is still too sweet to force the singer to change who he is.
