Crywolf & Ianborg Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Berlin in the cold
Tell me you're not coming home,
And I'll stop waiting by the phone.
Bedroom eyes,
I asked you what you'd change.
Tell me I'm not what you want,
And I will leave you all alone.
Will I see you from the ground?
The lyrics to "Bedroom Eyes" by Crywolf and Ianborg are a bittersweet reflection on a failing relationship. The opening line, "Come down love, Berlin in the cold" is a metaphor for the distance that has grown between the two people in the relationship. The coldness of Berlin represents the emotional distancing, while "Come down love" is a plea for the two to come back together. The singer then asks the other person to tell them that they're not coming home, which would mark the end of the relationship. The line "And I'll stop waiting by the phone" highlights the singer's desperation and anxiety while waiting for a response or a sign of affection.
The chorus, "Bedroom eyes, I asked you what you'd change" is a reference to the physical and emotional intimacy that the two share. The eyes are the window to the soul and "bedroom eyes" specifically refer to a seductive look or gaze – a look that is usually meant to spark intimacy. Then, the song takes a darker turn as the singer begs their partner to tell them that they're not what they want, which emphasizes their fear of being unwanted and unloved. The final line, "Floating high and looking down, will I see you from the ground?" expresses the hope that the relationship can be saved and the two can come back together, even if at the present moment the singer feels lost and disconnected.

Come down love
My dear, please come closer to me
Berlin in the cold
The city feels lonely and cold without you near me
Tell me you're not coming home,
Let me know if you're not planning to return to me
And I'll stop waiting by the phone.
I won't keep waiting for your call anymore
Bedroom eyes,
Your seductive gaze that makes me weak
I asked you what you'd change.
I inquired what you want to alter in us
Tell me I'm not what you want,
Inform me if I'm not the person you desire
And I will leave you all alone.
I will let you be by yourself if that's what you desire
Floating high and looking down,
In a state of euphoria, looking down from above
Will I see you from the ground?
Will I still be able to see you when I come back to reality?

You know how when you're dating someone and they show you a band or artist, and then ya'll break up & don't like it anymore because it reminds you of them? Well I think it was the complete opposite with me, I love crywolf even more now.
