MONOEYES Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Barking at the rising moon
That's what my body
feels like doing
You are someone like me
It's you and me again
Now I'm walking
on top of the roofs of cars
out loud with a bamboo cane
I'm landing
on top of a pile of bills
In my other hand
I have a gun of Jenny
People can change
It sounds so pretty
Hopping inside the car already
Stepping outside the story world
Pounding inside
my psycho brain yeah
My psycho brain yeah
My psycho brain yeah
Climbing on top of
the highest rise
Resting on top of
a stack of books
Holding onto my spastic memories
Standing on top of
the highest dune
Falling on top of a powder keg
Bleeding inside
the electric fantasy
It's like a morning glory
Wake up and be long gone by now
Feel you there
Joking all the time
It's a morning glory
Wake up and get over it
A morning glory
Like a morning glory
Now I'm on a sheer cliff
Face dried out by gritty winds
Such a stunning scene before me
You are someone like me
Now I'm walking
on top of the roofs of cars
And singing
out loud with a bamboo cane
I'm landing
on top of a pile of bills
In my other hand
I have a gun of Jenny
People can change
It sounds so pretty
Hopping inside the car already
Stepping outside the story world
Pounding inside
my psycho brain yeah
My psycho brain yeah
My psycho brain yeah
It's like a morning glory
Wake up and be long gone by now
Feel you there
Joking all the time
Like a morning glory
Like a morning glory

It's like a morning glory
Comparing a situation to a beautiful flower that blooms briefly
Wake up and be long gone by now
Encouraging a change in perspective or action
Feel you there joking all the time
Perceiving a lighthearted presence or relationship
Now I'm on a sheer cliff
Facing a precarious or risky situation
Face dried out by gritty winds
Feeling weathered or worn down by challenges
Such a stunning scene before me
Recognizing beauty or awe in the surroundings
