Castlecomer Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Give give give it away, oh.
And you'll always win,
But I won't care 'cause
You'll be the best best part of my day. ooh.
I won't let you lose you're head,
Don't you move on to someone else's bed.
And the whole room stares,
At your legs, at your legs.
But it's your eyes eyes eyes that I see oh.
And I love that you don't care,
And I love that you are,
Eye Eye Eyeing off me.
And I won't let you lose you're head,
Don't you move on to someone else's bed.
See my face is, a blank page waiting.
You're the one, You're the one, You're the one,
You're the one, You're the one,
You're the one that I want.
You're the one, You're the one, You're the one,
You're the one, You're the one,
You're the one that I want.
You're the one, You're the one, You're the one,
You're the one, You're the one,
You're the one that I want.
You're the one, You're the one, You're the one,
You're the one, You're the one,
You're the one that I want.
I'll meet eyes at a feature,
you're disguise.
I'll meet eyes at a feature,
You're disguise.
The lyrics of Castlecomer's "Eyes" are a poignant confession of unrequited love. The singer is intensely drawn towards the subject of the song, proclaiming her as the "loveliest thing" he has ever seen. However, despite his feelings, he does not want to "give it away," suggesting perhaps a fear of rejection or a sense of preservation. Nevertheless, the subject appears to be aware of her effect on him and remains the "best part" of his day.
The singer's fascination with the subject's eyes is a recurrent theme throughout the song. While the whole room stares at her legs, he only has eyes for hers. He is drawn to the way she "Eye Eye Eyeing off" him, yet at the same time is anxious not to lose her. He implores her not to "move on to someone else's bed," recognizing that this would be devastating for him.
The final lines of the song show a sense of hopelessness as the singer accepts that he may never have his desires fulfilled. "I'll meet eyes at a feature, You're disguise," suggests that they will only ever be able to connect in a surface level way, perhaps only catching glances of one another at events or through their professions.
