Her Eyes Say Yes
Meaning In Masterpiece Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

You don′t know how much I adore
This damp rag soaked in chloroform
It makes me so hard to ignore
Cause I could never keep your attention
I'm not one to make threats
I′ve been reduced to promises
I lie to myself cause I do it best
I'm not honest with my intentions

So when the blindfold starts to slip
And the rope starts to rip
And I slowly start to give
And girl, you know I'm sorry

But tonight I′ll wait until I know you′re fast asleep
To poison you with memories of you and me
I pray you die slowly so I can be the last thing you see

You'll see

Girl you′re busy and that's fine
But there′s one thing I gotta get off my mind
I won't take too much of your time
I promise this won′t last long, no
I used to be your biggest fan,
You used to say I was your man
Now if I can't have you no one can
I'll be the last boy you hang up on

So when the blindfold starts to slip
And the rope starts to rip
And I slowly start to give
And girl, you know I′m sorry

But tonight I′ll wait until I know you're fast asleep
To poison you with memories of you and me
I pray you die slowly so I can be the last thing you see

Oh you′ll see

She's losing consciousness
I′m gaining confidence
It's starting to make sense, woah-oh woah-oh
She′s covered in finger prints
From her lips to her hips
All I wanted was one more kiss, woah-oh woah-oh

Tonight I'll wait until I know you're fast asleep
To poison you with memories of you and me
I pray you die slowly (die slowly) so I can be the last thing you see




I pray you die slowly (die slowly) so I can be the last thing you see
I pray you die slowly so I can be the last thing you see

Overall Meaning

The lyrics to "Her Eyes Say Yes" by Meaning in Masterpiece are very dark and disturbing. It starts off with the singer confessing his love for a woman who seems to be ignoring him, and then he goes on to describe how he has had to resort to extreme measures to get her attention. The damp rag soaked in chloroform that he refers to is obviously a tool he has used to kidnap her or render her unconscious. The line, "Cause I could never keep your attention," suggests that the woman was once interested in him, and that he has become increasingly desperate to win her back.


The next few lines reveal just how far this man is willing to go to get what he wants. He admits that he lies to himself about his intentions, and suggests that he is not being honest with the woman either. When he talks about the blindfold slipping, the rope ripping, and him slowly starting to give in, it's clear that he is describing some sort of sexual encounter, but it's also clear that the woman has not consented to it.


The chorus is particularly chilling. He says that he will wait until the woman is fast asleep to poison her with memories of them together. He even says that he hopes she dies slowly so that he can be the last thing she sees. It's like he wants to punish her for not being interested in him anymore, and he wants to hold onto her even after she's gone.


In the second verse, he tries to justify his actions by saying that he used to be the woman's biggest fan and that she used to call him her man. He seems to be blaming her for his current situation, and in the last line of the verse, he says that he will be the last boy she hangs up on, as if it's some sort of threat.


The final part of the song is particularly disturbing as he describes the woman losing consciousness while he gains confidence. The way he talks about her being covered in his fingerprints and all he wanted was one more kiss makes it clear that he is not interested in her as a person, but as a possession.


Overall, "Her Eyes Say Yes" is a very disturbing song that highlights the dangers of obsession and not taking no for an answer.
