Genevieve
Blake Perry Lyrics

Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴

(the pilot of your thighs)

Genevieve, genevieve
Dreaming of those castles in the sky
Genevieve, genevieve
And clocks that couldn't wait to tell the time

That's why I'm the pilot of your thighs

The one who holds your hand
When you stare in those canals
The pilot of your thighs

Genevieve, genevieve
Horoscopes were written in the snow
Genevieve, genevieve
Sometimes the sun just gets too close

That's why I'm the pilot of your thighs
The one who holds your hand

When you stare in those canals
The pilot of your thighs

Overall Meaning

In Blake Perry's song "Genevieve," the lyrics focus on a dreamy and whimsical girl named Genevieve. The opening lines, "Dreaming of those castles in the sky," paint the picture of someone who is always dreaming and has a wild imagination. The mention of clocks that can't wait to tell the time adds to the idea that time is not important to this dreamer, and they are more focused on living in the moment and exploring their own thoughts and ideas.

The chorus mentions the singer being the pilot of Genevieve's thighs, which could be interpreted in a few different ways. It could be a metaphor for being the one who guides her through life, or it could evoke a sense of intimacy and being close to someone. The verse about horoscopes being written in the snow continues the dreamy theme, and the mention of the sun getting too close adds a touch of danger to the mix.

Overall, the lyrics of "Genevieve" are poetic and whimsical, painting a picture of someone who is always dreaming and exploring their thoughts and ideas. The pilot of her thighs could either be a metaphor for guiding her through life, or a more intimate and sensual connection between the two.
