Wide Eyed One
A Drop in the Gray Lyrics

The lyrics to A Drop in the Gray's song Wide Eyed One seem to be alluding to a relationship that has ended. The singer has made a choice that has resulted in the other person leaving, and the loss is palpable. The imagery of the moon and the sun is used twice, perhaps representing the different phases of the relationship - the bright, happy times and the darker, more difficult moments. The line "street lights follow you dear" gives the impression that the person has left on foot, and is still visible to the singer as they walk away.

The chorus, which repeats the invitation to "come, wide eyed one", adds an air of mystery to the song. It is unclear who or what the titular "wide eyed one" is - perhaps it is the person who has left, perhaps it is a memory, or perhaps it is something else entirely. The use of the word "wide" might suggest an openness or a sense of possibility, but without further context it is hard to say for sure.

Throughout the song, there is a sense of longing and regret, as the singer reflects on what has been lost. The use of repetition and imagery helps to create a sense of atmosphere and emotion, even if the lyrics themselves are somewhat opaque.
