Blackeye
Love Inks Lyrics

Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴

You've got black eye on your eye
Tell me was it from a fight, baby?
Did it happen last night?

The lyrics of Love Inks's song Blackeye describe the singer's concern for their lover, who has a black eye. The singer asks whether the black eye was caused by a fight, perhaps wondering if their lover was involved in a dangerous situation. The repetition of the word "baby" suggests an intense feeling of intimacy and care for the lover. The use of the second-person pronoun "you" further emphasizes the personal and emotional nature of the song.

The song's title, Blackeye, may symbolize the physical wound as well as emotional pain. The black eye could also be a metaphor for a troubled relationship or emotional turmoil, as it is common for victims of domestic violence to hide bruises from their loved ones. The song could be interpreted as investigating the causes of this physical and emotional trauma, and asking if there is anything the singer can do to help their lover.
