Eyeah
Eyeah
Eyeah

Take some of this It'll calm ya down
You might as well just come around
Just come around
Love us together
An eater
I need her
I'll feed her
I'll keep her
An eater
I need her

Work hard
The timing
In hiding
Providing
I lay low
The day goes
Feel like an asshole sometimes
Took the worse parts
With no pads on
Cut my loses
And I sailed off
Perfect landing
Babies bed soft
Feels like I'm at home this time

Love us together
An eater
I need her
I'll feed her
I'll keep her
An eater
I need her

Take some of this It'll calm ya down
You might as well just come around
Just come around
Just come...

Love us together
An eater
I need her
I'll feed her
I'll keep her
An eater
I need her

Take some of this It'll calm ya down
You might as well just come around
Just come around
Just come...




Yeah, just take some of this baby girl
It'll calm you down...

The verses describe the emotions of the singer, who seems to have been through some difficulties - "feel like an asshole sometimes," "took the worse parts," "cut my losses" - but has managed to make a "perfect landing" and feels at home. The singer seems to be offering solace to a lover who needs calming down, inviting them to "just come around" and get some of whatever he's offering.


A possible interpretation of the song is that it expresses a desire for a deep connection with a partner who shares the same hunger for life and love. The imagery of "an eater" may suggest a desire for someone who is passionate, who desires to devour all that life has to offer, and who is not afraid to take risks and make mistakes.
