Eyes
In The Rosemary Dreams Lyrics

Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴

Let burn to the ashes

To leave me behind

Consuming all the memories

going to the lie

I want to find myself

In something that you like

Because I do not feel

The heat inside your eyes

Eyes

let burn to the ashes

To leave you behind

Consuming all the memories

Of all your life

I want to find myself

In something that you like

Because I just want feel

The cold inside your eyes

Eyes

I want to do with you what you do to me

Overall Meaning

The first verse declares a desire to let go of memories, to let them burn to ashes, in order to move forward. The second verse reveals a similar longing, but this time on behalf of another person. The singer wishes to consume all the memories of their loved one’s life so that they may understand them better. Both verses express a desire to find oneself in something the other person likes, but also an acknowledged distance between the two, embodied by the heat/cold dichotomy in the chorus. Ultimately, the singer wants to be closer to their loved one, to share in what they have to offer.
