Deer In The Headlights
Owl City Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
And all I did was say hello.
Her pepper spray made it rather hard
For me to walk her home,
But I guess that's the way it goes.
Tell me again was it love at first sight
When I walked by and you caught my eye.
Well smile because you're the deer in the headlights.
Met a girl with a graceful charm,
But when beauty met the beast he froze.
Got the sense I was not her type
By a black eye and bloody nose,
But I guess that's the way it goes.
Tell me again was it love at first sight
When I walked by and you caught my eye.
Didn't you know love could shine this bright?
Well smile because you're the deer in the headlights.
It's suffocating to say,
But the female mystique takes my breath away.
So give me a smile or give me a sneer,
'Cause I'm trying to guess here.
Tell me again was it love at first sight
When I walked by and you caught my eye.
Didn't you know love could shine this bright?
Well smile because you're the deer in the headlights.
Tell me again was it love at first sight
When I walked by and you caught my eye.
Didn't you know love could shine this bright?
If life was a game, you would never play nice.
If love was a beam, you'd be blind in both eyes.
Put your sunglasses on 'cause you're a deer in the headlights.
You're the deer in the headlights.
You're the deer in the headlights.
"Deer In The Headlights" by Owl City is a song about love and how it can be terrifying for some people. The song starts off with the singer meeting a girl in a parking lot and saying hello, but she sprays him with pepper spray, making it difficult for him to walk her home. The singer wonders if it was love at first sight and the girl was simply caught off guard, which he compares to a deer in the headlights.
The song then takes a darker turn when the singer meets another girl who he describes as having a "graceful charm." However, when he makes a move, he realizes that he's not her type and gets a black eye and bloody nose. Despite this, the singer still wonders if it was love at first sight and compares the girl to a deer in the headlights.
The song is not only about love, but also about how men can sometimes be intimidated by women and their mysterious nature. The singer is both drawn to and frightened by these women, which is why he compares them to deer in the headlights. The song is a reminder that love can be scary, but it's worth taking risks for.

Met a girl in the parking lot,
I came across a girl while I was walking in the parking lot
And all I did was say hello.
I greeted her with a simple 'hello'
Her pepper spray made it rather hard
She used pepper spray, which made it difficult to accompany her
For me to walk her home,
I couldn't accompany her home because of the spray
But I guess that's the way it goes.
I accepted that it's just how things turned out
Tell me again was it love at first sight
Remind me, did we fall in love the moment we first saw each other?
When I walked by and you caught my eye.
Did you lock eyes with me when I walked past you?
Didn't you know love could shine this bright?
Did you realize that love can be so dazzling?
Well smile because you're the deer in the headlights.
You're the one who's feeling a bit overwhelmed by our love
Met a girl with a graceful charm,
I came across a girl who was very charming
But when beauty met the beast he froze.
But as soon as she encountered my true self, I felt insecure
Got the sense I was not her type
I had a feeling that I wasn't her ideal match
By a black eye and bloody nose,
I got into a physical altercation and suffered injuries
But I guess that's the way it goes.
But I accepted the outcome, even though it wasn't pleasant
It's suffocating to say,
It's tough to admit
But the female mystique takes my breath away.
But women stlll manage to charm and bewilder me
So give me a smile or give me a sneer,
Please show me any reaction, whether a smile or a sneer
'Cause I'm trying to guess here.
I'm trying to figure out your feelings for me
If life was a game, you would never play nice.
If life was a game, you wouldn't be kind
If love was a beam, you'd be blind in both eyes.
If love was a beam, you'd be blinded by it
Put your sunglasses on 'cause you're a deer in the headlights.
Wear your sunglasses to shield your eyes, just like a deer in the headlights would
You're the deer in the headlights.
You're the one feeling bewildered and spellbound, much like a deer caught in headlights
You're the deer in the headlights.
I'm addressing you specifically as the one feeling overwhelmed and stupefied
