Eyes
King's Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

I was born in the sea
Can I control my misery?
Caught in between the ebb and flow of dreams
Palpitations pressurize when they look me over with American eyes
Wake me up when the story's over
Wake me up when we're moving on
Unlock my dream
Through dirty nails and scraped knees
'Til I believe that the mirror is me
We were born in the east
Now we control our misery
Build up the beast from under the knee
Palpitations pressurize when they look me over with American eyes
Wake me up when the story's over
Wake me up when we're moving on
Palpitations pressurize when they look me over with American eyes




Wake me up when the story's over
Wake me up when we're moving on

Overall Meaning

In King Krule's song "Eyes," the lyrics depict the artist's longing for love and how it is often just a dream to him. The first few lines of the song talk about how he needs love and is dreaming of it. He describes how he sees himself taking his love to the store and how it's all a dream in his mind when his eyes are closed. He also mentions that diamonds are his love, indicating that materialistic things are what he desires.


The artist then goes on to say that even in tough times, where things are low, one eye stays open, hinting at a sense of vigilance for his love. However, he is scared that he may not find true love, but he closes his eyes one night and finds love, emphasizing the randomness of love and how it can come in when we least expect it.


Towards the end of the song, King Krule speaks about how, even though he dreams of love, he wakes up to the reality that he is just a fiend, and his heart is just cracked. He repeats the line, "My heart, my heart, my heart," many times, emphasizing the sadness and emptiness he feels. The song ends with him dreaming of his love again, but this time he closes his eyes and finds love.


The lyrics of this song are deep and relatable, depicting the emotions felt during the search for love. The repetition of lines such as "One eye stays open" and "My heart, my heart, my heart" highlights the anxiety and longing for meaningful companionship. The song's dreamy and mellow beats enhance the melancholic mood and emotions that the singer is trying to convey.


Line by Line Meaning

I need love, love,
I desire a strong emotional connection with someone


So dreaming
I am constantly thinking and fantasizing about love


Im dreaming of my love, taking her to store
In my dreams, I envision going on mundane activities such as going to the store with my significant other


I see it my dreams when my eyes are closed
When I'm asleep, my imagination is free to create a world where my dreams come true


Diamonds are my love, you won't need much more
Material possessions are not as important to me as love


So even at our lows, lows, ooh
Even during tough times, as a couple, we will still love each other unconditionally


One eye stays open, but I need love, love
Although I am cautious in love, I still want to find a deep emotional connection with someone


One night I closed it, that night found love, love
On that one special night, I finally found the love that I had been searching for


Will I find love, love
I hope that I will someday find a true and lasting love


It was all a dream, ohh
The love that I imagined in my dreams may not be a reality


My eyes open to a sad reality
When I wake up from my dreams, I am faced with the harsh truth that I am still searching for love


I was just a fiend
My desire for love may seem obsessive or extreme


Except the crack was just in my heart
My yearning for love is intense, but it's not a harmful addiction like drug use


One eye stays open, yah
I am always vigilant in my search for love


I'm dreaming of my love taking her to store
In my dreams, I imagine going on mundane activities such as grocery shopping with my significant other


I see it my dreams when my eyes are closed up
When I am asleep, I can visualize the future I want with my significant other


Even at our lows, lows
Even during tough moments in our relationship, I will not give up on love


That night I closed it, that night found love, love
On that one special night, I finally found the love that I had been searching for

ニヤつき笑った瞬間に心が死んだ
Oh 君の目 何分間経っても離れない

大きなネオンライト 振り回されてくinsight
街中がそう 間違ってたって何でだって関係ない

We're all afraid of the king's eyes

壊れた受話器の向こうで泣いている君は
どうしようもない 何が正解かわからない

真っ白け 行き場ない議論 マシンガン
極端なフリ 感情全体が浮かんでる夜のプール

We're all afraid of the king's eyes

投げ捨てろ No one can get rid of the king's eyes
邪魔なだけ 最新鋭のファインダー
Taking out the law その線を越えられないの
誰もまだ 想像できやしないもの

公衆美顔器 安心安全なディスタンス
手も足も出ない 平均収集の Honey Bee

怒りも 焦りも 時間が経ったならShut down
あっさりと消える
一瞬は永遠にすり変わっちゃってLoop

We're all afraid of the king's eyes

投げ捨てろ No one can get rid of the king's eyes
邪魔なだけ 最新鋭のファインダー
舵を取れ You've got to keep watchin' with your own eyes
誰もまだ 想像できやしないもの

We're all afraid of the king's eyes

これとかFacelessみたいなかっこよさもいいですけど私は$UJIやフカンショウ、くだらnation、シェルターのようなかっこよさの歌やめちゃめちゃ生きてる、ずっとマイペースみたいな弾けまくった歌も好きです。またあの感じの歌を作っていただけないでしょうか。

某中古本屋でかかっててリズムが良すぎて頭離れなくなった
もう5回は再生してる脳みそにこびりつく体が自然に動くいいリズムですね

ラプチャーでパノパナに惹かれてきましたが、Facesでとうとうパノパナの純真な音と歌詞に撃ち抜かれました。かっこよすぎっ
