EYES
Mosco-Band Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
A lot like yours and mine
But an octopus has tentacles
And it does not have a spine
An octopus has eyes
A lot like yours and mine
But an octopus has tentacles
And it does not have a spine
Not like yours and mine
Eight legs, eight legs
Not like yours and mine
A giant squid has eyes
A lot like yours and mine
But a giant squid has tentacles
and it does not have a spine
A giant squid has eyes
A lot like yours and mine
But a giant squid has tentacles
and it does not have a spine
Ten legs, ten legs
Not like yours and mine
Ten legs, ten legs
Not like yours and mine
A trilobite had eyes
Complex compound eyes
But a trilobite lived long ago
They've been extinct a long long time
A trilobite had eyes
Complex compound eyes
But a trilobite lived long ago
They've been extinct a long long time
Complex eyes
First ones of their kind
Compound eyes
Not like yours and mine
A whale has two eyes
A lot like yours and mine
And a whale feeds its baby milk
And a whale has a spine
A whale has two eyes
A lot like yours and mine
And a whale feeds its baby milk
And a whale has a spine
Warm blood, warm blood
A lot like yours and mine
No legs, no arms,
Not like yours and mine
The lyrics of the song "Eyes" by Mosco-Band explore the diversity and uniqueness of creatures in the animal kingdom through their eyes and physical characteristics. The song begins with the comparison of an octopus's eyes to ours, highlighting the similarities. However, it also brings attention to the octopus's notable feature - its tentacles - and emphasizes that it lacks a spine, making it distinct from humans.
The repetition of "eight legs" emphasizes the octopus's different physical structure, reinforcing the idea of its uniqueness. The song then introduces the giant squid, again drawing attention to their similar eyes but emphasizing their lack of a spine and the presence of tentacles. The use of repetition, like in the previous verse, emphasizes the distinctness of the creature's ten legs.
The lyrics then shift to a reference to trilobites, an extinct group of arthropods. While highlighting their complex compound eyes, the lyrics bring attention to their ancient existence, emphasizing their extinction and the passage of time. The reference to compound eyes suggests their intricate structure and capabilities, perhaps hinting at the marvels of evolution.
The song concludes with a mention of whales, focusing on the similarities between their eyes and ours. It points out the nurturing nature of whales as they feed their babies milk, emphasizing the warm-bloodedness that whales share with humans. However, it also draws attention to the absence of legs and arms in whales, highlighting their different physical structure.
Overall, "Eyes" showcases the variety and wonders of the animal kingdom, comparing and contrasting their eyes and physical characteristics to ours, ultimately highlighting the diversity and uniqueness of life forms on Earth.
