tiny souls in my eyelashes
Infinity Crush Lyrics

Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴

hold my breath for 20 seconds
hope that someone comes to mention
you or the way you move
like you're warm static floating
or some sweet candy coating
stuck between my nails

i want you to break me down

and lift me out
and kiss some truth
into my mouth
let me sleep when I'm too high
and never have a bad goodbye

floating through the drug store aisle
and you break me down with that smile
let me wander in denial

i want you to reshape me
into some pure form
of what you want or had before

and love me when my dress gets torn
and hold me close and don't get bored

Overall Meaning

The first verse of "tiny souls in my eyelashes" by Infinity Crush seems to be talking about a person who is waiting for someone to bring up a particular individual. It's unclear who this person is, but the next line hints that it's someone who the singer is very fond of or possibly in love with. The way the person moves is described as warm static floating, which can be interpreted as a sense of comfort and familiarity. However, the line "some sweet candy coating stuck between my nails" suggests that this person is just out of reach or difficult to hold onto.

The chorus expresses the singer's desire for this person to break them down and lift them out, essentially allowing them to be vulnerable and exposed. The line "kiss some truth into my mouth" can be interpreted as the need for honesty and clarity in the relationship. The next line "let me sleep when I'm too high and never have a bad goodbye" suggests that this person serves as a sort of escape or comfort for the singer.

The second verse mentions the two of them in a drug store aisle, where the person breaks the singer down with a smile. This line can be interpreted as the person having the power to affect the singer's emotions with just a small gesture. The last line once again expresses the need for denial and evasion. Overall, the song seems to be about a person who is a source of comfort and escape for the singer but also is just out of reach. The singer wants this person to be honest with them but also wants to remain in a state of blissful ignorance.
