Overall Meaning

The lyrics in Crystal Castles's song "Sad Eyes" depict the struggle of a woman who is trying to hide her pain and sadness behind a veil, but her eyes reveal the true sadness and heartache she feels. The shadows cast around her further emphasize her isolation and loneliness. The lyrics also touch upon the idea of discouraging affection, which suggests that the woman has been hurt in the past and is hesitant to trust anyone again. Despite her attempts to feign care and warmth, she cannot disguise her sad eyes, which reveal her true emotions.


The repeated use of the phrase "sad eyes" throughout the song underscores the constant pain and suffering the woman is experiencing. The lyrics suggest that the woman's attempts to hide her pain only make it more apparent, as the lyrics paint a picture of a woman who is struggling to move on from her past traumas. The use of repetition creates a sense of hopelessness, as if the woman is trapped in her pain and can't escape it.

@@Daniel-om4ce we're all nostalgia. We're just renewing ourselves every second. Every nanosecond. Every atom. Everyway possible. We're all nostalgia. Even this is nostalgia. You are nostalgia. Just a piece of memory someone will forget. But hey, that's all a joke, right?










































Right?



@TrueTerror6

Every game will go through this:
Its new, nobody plays it
Its gaining an audience
Its famous
Many years pass by
Many players get bored and leave
The game is losing its audience
Hardly anyone plays it
The only person so nostalgic to play the game comes on and leaves because no one is online
