Owl Eyes Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
For a moment of truth
Now I feel so cold
Just waiting for you
Your face was clear
In the haze of grey
Open up your girl
There's something about you
That makes me feel that I've known your for years
I'll grant ya Ivory
You will make a stop
But I feel like you will become ill of my infection
I move, I sweat, I sweat
I move, I sweat, I sweat
I move, I move, I move, I sweat
Spell the... I missed
On the pale blue night
Dreaming back the moon
And help me guide this fight
Don't you tell me I shouldn't follow you
As you see that I will be close of you
There's something about you
That makes me feel that I've known your for years
I'll grant ya Ivory
You will make a stop
But I feel like you will become ill of my infection
I move, I sweat, I sweat
I move, I sweat, I sweat
I move, I move, I move, I sweat
She's get me
Under a spell, under a spell
Where do I go? Where do I go?
She keeps me
Under a spell, under a spell
Where do I go? Where do I go?
The lyrics to Owl Eyes's song Ivory seem like a reflection of the experience of falling for someone who may not reciprocate the same level of feelings. The singer of the song appears to have travelled through the night in search of a moment of truth, perhaps seeking clarity about their feelings. However, the result of this journey is not what they expected. They feel cold and alone while waiting for the person who had captured their attention.
The lyrics then describe this person with a kind of reverence. The singer feels like they have known this person for years, despite just meeting them. They are willing to follow this person, no matter where they go. However, the singer also feels a bit hesitant, recognizing that their own feelings may overwhelm the other person. They describe themselves as infected, and worry that the other person will become "ill" from being too close to them.
Throughout the song, there is a repeated refrain of "I move, I sweat, I sweat" and "she's got me under a spell." This could represent the feeling of being caught up in the whirlwind of emotions brought on by this new connection. The singer is caught in the spell of this person, unable to escape. Ultimately, the lyrics express a feeling of both admiration and fear towards this person who has captured the singer's heart.
