Pull Of The Eye
Donkeyboy Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
If somebody took the blame
Would you be just the same
Would you do it again?
I feel good, your desire
Makes me feel good, takes me higher
I feel good, you're a liar
In this might world, you're the fire
Pull of the eye, could be anyone, could be anyone
You can be someone X 2
So, you make it feel so good
Even if you pretend
Make me believe I should
Make me do it again
I feel good, your desire
Makes me feel good, takes me higher
I feel good, you're a liar
In this might world, you're the fire
Pull of the eye, could be anyone, could be anyone
You can be someone X 2
If somebody called your name
If somebody took the blame
Would you be just the same
Make me believe I should
Make me do it again
Pull of the eye, could be anyone, could be anyone
You can be someone X 2
I feel good, your desire
Makes me feel good, takes me higher
I feel good, you're a liar
In this might world, you're the fire X 2
The song "Pull Of The Eye" by Donkeyboy is about craving attention and validation from someone who may not be genuine. The lyrics describe someone who will do anything to feel desired and loved, even if it means being deceived. The first verse presents a scenario where someone takes the blame for another person, and the question is raised, would they do it again? This suggests that the person's desire for attention and validation overrides their own integrity or sense of morality.
The chorus, "Pull of the eye, could be anyone, could be anyone, you can be someone," suggests that the desire for attention and validation is so strong that it is indiscriminate. Anyone could fulfill that need, including someone who is not genuine. The second part of the chorus, "you can be someone," suggests that the person is willing to do whatever it takes to be seen, even if it means pretending to be someone they're not.
The second verse reinforces the same theme of craving attention and validation, even if it means being deceived. The line "Make me believe I should, make me do it again" suggests that the person is so consumed with their desire for attention that they are willing to be deceived and manipulated by the other person. The repetition of the bridge and chorus highlights the driving force behind the lyrics, which is the desire for attention and validation from any source.

Your tunes are consistently miles better than any rap and rnb US top 20 hit from the last 20 years. And most top 20 pop hits as well. So underrated and underappreciated and underpromoted

It's simply impossible to dislike this song.

Donkeyboy should be famous abroad. I can't understand why the world hasn't got their eyes up for this good band!
