Rhinestone Eyes
Gorillaz Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
That you made with plastic power
Your rhinestone eyes are like factories far away
Where the paralytic dreams that we all seem to keep
Drive on engines 'til they weep
With future pixels in factories far away
So call the mainland from the beach
All parties now washed up in bleach
The waves are rising for this time of year
And nobody knows what to do with the heat
Under sunshine pylons we'll meet while rain is falling like rhinestones from the sky
I got a feeling now my heart is frozen
All the verses and the corrosion
Have been after native in my soul
I prayed on the immovable
Yeah, clinging to the atoms of rock
Seasons the adjustments, signs of change
I can't see now she said, "Taxi"
Now that light is all I can take
The storm bring strange loyalties and skies
I'm a scary gargoyle on a tower
That you made with plastic power
Your rhinestone eyes are like factories far away
(Here we go again)
(That's electric)
(That's electric)
Helicopters fly over the beach
Same time everyday, same routine
Clear target in summer when skies are blue
It's part of the noise when winter comes
It reverberates in my lungs
Nature's corrupted in factories far away (here we go again) (that's electric)
Your love's like rhinestones, falling from the sky (that's electric)
With future pixels in factories far away (that's electric)
Your love's like rhinestones, falling from the sky (that's electric)
With future pixels in factories far away (here we go again)
The lyrics to Gorillaz's song Rhinestone Eyes are cryptic and metaphorical, with multiple interpretations possible. The first two lines compare the singer to a scary gargoyle on a tower made of plastic power, referencing the artificiality and instability of the modern world. The line "Your rhinestone eyes are like factories far away" could be interpreted as the singer's lover or muse having a cold, industrial gaze that is distant and unfeeling. The idea of "paralytic dreams" suggests a sense of inertia or helplessness that keeps us moving forward, even when we feel worn down.
The chorus seems to be about the aftermath of a disaster, perhaps a natural one like a hurricane or an environmental one like pollution. The line "All parties now washed up in bleach" could refer to beach parties that have been disrupted or destroyed by a sudden change in the weather. The waves rising abnormally high, the rhinestones falling from the sky, and the corruption of nature all suggest a world that is out of balance and dangerous. The final lines of the chorus, "Under sunshine pylons we'll meet while rain is falling like rhinestones from the sky," hint at a sense of hope or connection that can be found even in the midst of chaos.
The second verse continues the theme of decay and deterioration, with references to corrosion and seasons changing. The line "I prayed on the immovable" could suggest a sense of futility or despair, while the idea of "clinging to the atoms of rock" could refer to a desire for stability and permanence in a world that is constantly shifting. The final lines "The storm bring strange loyalties and skies" could suggest that even in the midst of chaos, people can find new alliances and connections.
Overall, Rhinestone Eyes is a complex and provocative song that invites multiple interpretations. Its themes of artificiality, decay, and connection in the face of chaos speak to the anxieties and uncertainties of the modern world.

I'm a scary gargoyle on a tower
I am a frightening creature located high above on a structure
That you made with plastic power
The tower I'm on was constructed using artificial material strength
Your rhinestone eyes are like factories far away
Your bright and shiny eyes resemble industrial plants that are distant
Where the paralytic dreams that we all seem to keep
We maintain motionless aspirations inside our minds
Drive on engines 'til they weep
We push our desires until they exhaust themselves
With future pixels in factories far away
The pictures of our destiny are crafted in far-off manufacturing plants
So call the mainland from the beach
Place a phone call to a place of stability from a setting of chaos
All parties now washed up in bleach
All events and activities are now thoroughly cleaned and finished
The waves are rising for this time of year
The ocean's tide is higher than usual during this season
And nobody knows what to do with the heat
No one knows how to handle and manage the increased warmth
Under sunshine pylons we'll meet while rain is falling like rhinestones from the sky
We'll gather beneath the bright structures and observe the downpour resembling jewels
I got a feeling now my heart is frozen
I have a sensation that my emotions are now frozen
All the verses and the corrosion
All the writings and the decay
Have been after native in my soul
Have been attacking the core of my being
I prayed on the immovable
I begged the unchangeable
Yeah, clinging to the atoms of rock
I hold onto the indivisible pieces of solid material
Seasons the adjustments, signs of change
The time periods mark the alterations, indicating the shift
I can't see now she said, "Taxi"
She exclaimed "Taxi", and now I'm unable to see clearly
Now that light is all I can take
Currently, brightness is all that I can tolerate
The storm bring strange loyalties and skies
The tempest brings new alliances and unusual skies
Helicopters fly over the beach
Airborne choppers pass above the sandy shoreline
Same time everyday, same routine
The exact time and activities repeat every day
Clear target in summer when skies are blue
The objective is evident during blue-sky summers
It's part of the noise when winter comes
It's included in the sounds when winter arrives
It reverberates in my lungs
The echoes shake deep within me
Nature's corrupted in factories far away (here we go again) (that's electric)
Nature is decaying in distant industrial plants (reiterated)
Your love's like rhinestones, falling from the sky (that's electric)
Your affection's like gem-like precipitation (emphasized)
With future pixels in factories far away (that's electric)
Future images are constructed far-off using modern technology (emphasized)
Your love's like rhinestones, falling from the sky (that's electric)
Your affection's like gem-like precipitation (reiterated)
With future pixels in factories far away (here we go again)
Future images are constructed far-off using modern technology (reiterated)

I'm a scary gargoyle on a tower
That you made with plastic power
Your rhinestone eyes are like factories far away
When the paralytic dreams that we all seem to keep
Drive on engines 'til they weep
With future pixels in factories far away
So call the mainland from the beach
All parties now washed up in bleach
The waves are rising for this time of year
And nobody knows what to do with the heat
Under sunshine pylons, we'll meet
While rain is falling like rhinestones from the sky
I got a feeling now my heart is frozen
All the verses and the corrosion
Have been after native in my soul
I prayed on the unmovable
Yeah, clinging to the atoms of rock
Seasons, the adjustments
Times have changed
I can't see now, she said, "Taxi"
Now that light is so I can take
This storm brings strange loyalties and skies
I'm a scary gargoyle on a tower
That you made with plastic power
Your rhinestone eyes are like factories far away
Here we go again
That's electric
That's electric
Helicopters fly over the beach
Same time every day, same routine
A clear target in the summer when skies are blue
It's part of the noise when winter comes
It reverberates in my lungs
Nature's corrupted in factories far away
Here we go again
That's electric
Your love's like rhinestones falling from the sky
That's electric
With future pixels in factories far away
Here we go again
That's electric
Your love's like rhinestones falling from the sky
That's electric
With future pixels in factories far away
Here we go again

[Verse 1]
I'm a scary gargoyle on a tower
That you made with plastic power
Your rhinestone eyes are like factories far away
Where the paralytic dreams that we all seem to keep
Drive on engines till they weep
With future pixels in factories far away
So call the mainland from the beach
Your heart is now washed up in bleach
The waves are rising for this time of year
And nobody knows what to do with the heat
Under sunshine pylons, we'll meet
While rain is falling like rhinestones from the sky
[Chorus]
(Uh)
(Mmmmm)
[Verse 2]
I can't see you now my heart is frozen
All the bowses and the growses
Have been abstinated in my soul
I prayed on the immovable
Yet clinging to the atoms of rock
Seasons see adjustment signs of change
I can't see now, she said, "Taxi"
Now that light is all I can take
This dawn brings strange loyalties and skies
I'm a scary gargoyle on a tower
That you made with plastic power
Your rhinestone eyes are like factories far away
[Chorus]
(Here we go again)
That's electric
(Uh)
That's electric
[Verse 3]
Helicopters fly over the beach
Same time every day, same routine
A clear target in the summer when skies are blue
It's part of the noise when winter comes
It reverberates in my lungs
Nature's corrupted in factories far away
[Chorus]
(Here we go again)
That's electric
Your love's like rhinestones falling from the sky
That's electric
With future pixels in factories far away
(Here we go again)
That's electric
Your love's like rhinestones falling from the sky
That's electric
With future pixels in factories far away
(Here we go again)
