Green green eyes
Anders Tengdahl Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Green green eyes, you looked at me
But turn, turn, turn, turn away from me
Or I will tremble all the long way home

I don't mind what you see in me
But you turn, turn, turn, turn me on you see
I want to take you, make you tremble too
But you're a godess
I could try to reach you
But I would burn my hands
And I'm already hot, so hot that I won't sleep tonight
For I can't have you near

Green green eyes, you turn me on
But turn, turn, turn, turn away from me
I want to take you, have to have you now

But you're a godess
I could try to reach you
But I would burn my hands
And I'm already hot, so hot that I won't sleep tonight
For I can't have you near





Green green eyes, you looked at me

Overall Meaning

In the lyrics of Anders Tengdahl's song "Green green eyes," the singer is expressing his fascination and admiration for someone with green eyes. The repetition of "Green green eyes, you looked at me" highlights the captivating effect this person has on the singer. However, there is a sense of distance and longing as the person repeatedly turns away, causing the singer to tremble and feel unsettled on the way home.


The singer acknowledges that he doesn't mind being seen in a certain way by the person with green eyes, but at the same time, he is consumed by a desire to turn them on as well. There is a mutual attraction and a yearning to make the person tremble just as they make him feel. This desire for reciprocity and connection is palpable in the lyrics.


Despite the intense attraction and longing, the singer realizes that the person with green eyes is like a goddess, unattainable and out of reach. The metaphor of burning his hands if he tries to reach her emphasizes the idea of the person being beyond his grasp and the potential consequences of pursuing such a lofty love.


The repetition of the refrain "Green green eyes, you turn me on" conveys the singer's persistent desire for the person, despite knowing that they are unattainable. The internal conflict between wanting to have the person now and the realization that they are like a goddess adds depth to the emotions expressed in the song. Overall, the lyrics capture a mix of admiration, desire, longing, and resignation in the face of unrequited love.
