EYES
Mandelbro Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
She woke you from your slumber
Hastily she comes to wrap you
'Round her finger
A whole new world
You're livin' in a whole new world
(Mmm)
Built by machines
I'll order take away
Discover nature
Gazin' at stars by the side of a motorway
The city life
This is the life you want
You want?
You've got your eyes on her
And you can't turn away
No, you can't turn away
You've got your eyes on her
And you can't turn away
No, you can't turn away
Eyes
Ooh oh ah
Eyes
Ooh oh ah
Now is the time when all of this
Just feels so simple
Have a drink
Fall in love
Meet new people
A cog in the wheel
But such a beautiful wheel
(Mmm)
Violent crime
Nothing's on time
The most creative people
Concrete, culture
Brick and mortar
Everyone is equal
The city lights
This is the life you want
You want?
You've got your eyes on her
And you can't turn away
No, you can't turn away
You've got your eyes on her
And you can't turn away
No, you can't turn away
Eyes
Ooh oh ah
Eyes
Ooh oh ah
Eyes
Ooh oh ah
Eyes
Ooh oh ah
Eyes
The lyrics of Mandelbro's song "Eyes" describe the experience of someone who has been awakened to a new and exciting world. The opening lines suggest that this person has been staying up all night, perhaps because they are so enthralled with their new surroundings. The next few lines describe someone who has come into their life and is able to control them completely. It's unclear whether this is a good or a bad thing, but the imagery of being wrapped around someone's finger suggests that it could be dangerous.
The chorus of the song is the most memorable part, with the repeated refrain of "you've got your eyes on her and you can't turn away." This suggests that the singer is drawn to this other person and can't resist looking at them. It's unclear whether this is a romantic attraction or not, but the lyrics suggest that it is intense and difficult to ignore.
The next few lines describe the new world that the singer has discovered. It's a world of greenery and machines, where everything is built artificially and takeout food is the norm. Despite this, the singer still finds beauty in nature, gazing at the stars even while sitting on the side of the motorway. The city life is described as something that the singer wants, but it's unclear whether they are truly happy with it.
Overall, the lyrics of "Eyes" suggest a sense of awe and wonder at the new world that the singer has discovered. The repeated refrain of the chorus suggests a powerful attraction to someone else that the singer can't resist looking at. The song captures a sense of longing for something new and exciting, while also acknowledging the dangers and drawbacks of this new lifestyle.
