Eiafuawn Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Cause' the city ain't moving
Big white square teeth
The blues of the high class
Too busy to love
Painted faces
It's not heaven
I know
You selling moods and things
Hey hey
I know how you make love
Come, come, come
I know how you make love
The opening phrase, "Move to the city cause the city ain't moving," suggests a sense of stagnation or lack of excitement in suburban or rural areas compared to the hustle and bustle of urban life. The next line, "Big white square teeth," conjures images of artificiality and sameness, perhaps of people conforming to societal norms of perfection. "The blues of the high class" further reinforces this idea, as the wealthy are often criticized for their detachment from the struggles of the lower classes.
The singer observes that those who live in the city are "too busy to love" and have "painted faces," implying that people in this environment are more preoccupied with maintaining appearances and status rather than forming genuine connections. The line "It's not heaven, but she still spills me" suggests that although the city may not be perfect, the singer is still drawn to it and its inhabitants.
The chorus begins with the artist acknowledging that the people in the city are "selling moods and things," likely referring to the commodification of experiences and emotions. The second line, "I know how you make love," is a bit more ambiguous, but it could be interpreted as the artist recognizing the ways in which people in the city create connections and intimacy despite the challenges and superficiality of their environment. The repeated invitation to "come" at the end of the chorus could imply that the artist is calling the listener to experience this unique kind of love for themselves.
Line by Line Meaning
Move to the city
Relocate to the urban area
Cause' the city ain't moving
Due to lack of excitement and enthusiasm in the city
Big white square teeth
Straight, flashy teeth that signify wealth
The blues of the high class
Sadness and depression encompassing the upper class
Too busy to love
Overly occupied with tasks to give room for affection
Painted faces
Faces covered in artificial makeup
It's not heaven
The setting isn't paradise
But she still spills me
She exudes an irresistible aura
I know
Fully aware
You selling moods and things
You making profits off of people's emotions and material possessions
Hey hey
An interjection of enthusiasm
I know how you make love
Cognizant of your technique of intimacy
Come, come, come
Urging someone to approach
