Iris
Pastel Ghost Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
BUT I DON'T WANT TO
SCARED OF REVEALING
THE IMAGE IS PEELING
I'VE TRIED TO FIGHT THIS
BUT YOU ARE MY WEAKNESS
THIS WORLD IS RESTRICTING
I SEE YOU SO CLEARLY
I WANT YOU COMPLETELY
I'D DO ANYTHING
TO HAVE YOU NEAR ME
FORGET THE FUTURE
CAN WE GET CLOSER
PULL BACK YOUR EYELIDS
I'M LOST IN YOUR IRIS
The song Iris by Pastel Ghost is essentially about the struggle between wanting to know and be close to someone while also being afraid of revealing oneself and being vulnerable. The singer is hesitant to show themselves to the person they are interested in because they fear that the image they have created of themselves will be discovered as false or flawed. This theme is reflected in the opening lines of the song, "I'd like to know you, but I don't want to. Scared of revealing, the image is peeling."
Despite these fears, the singer has strong feelings for the person they are addressing. They view this person as a weakness that they have tried to fight against but cannot resist. The singer feels restricted by the world around them but feels that this person means everything to them. The chorus emphasizes the singer's desire to be close to this person, "I see you so clearly, I want you completely. I'd do anything, to have you near me."
The bridge of the song shifts the focus to the present moment, "Forget the future can we get closer? Pull back your eyelids, I'm lost in your iris." The singer is asking the person they are addressing to be present with them and to allow the singer to look into their eyes. This moment of connection is enough for the singer - they are willing to forget about the future and simply be in the moment with this person.
Overall, the song Iris by Pastel Ghost is a reflection on the difficulties of opening oneself up to another person while also acknowledging the deep desire for connection.
