Your Eyes Girl
Red Hot Chili Peppers/M Lyrics

Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴

I was walking down the street one day
Then I saw you I didn't know what to say
You're eyes were shining
You're smile was so kind
When I saw you I wanted you to be mine

Maybe I don't have the blonde hair you like
Or maybe I don't have eyes like the sky

And I'm not sure if I'm the girl in your dreams
But I can show you what love means

One day you came and talked to me
And you said we are meant to be
I was happy, everything was so nice
But then I found out that everything was a lie

Maybe I don't have the blonde hair you like
Or maybe I don't have eyes like the sky
And I'm not sure if I'm the girl in your dreams
But I can show you what love means

How could you do this to me
You said we are meant to be
You showed me how to cry
When you told me everything was a lie

Maybe I don't have the blonde hair you like
Or maybe I don't have eyes like the sky

And I'm not sure if I'm the girl in your dreams
But I can show you what love means

Overall Meaning

The lyrics of "Your Eyes Girl" by Red Hot Chili Peppers/M's speak about a failed relationship. The opening lines reveal the singer's admiration for a girl he sees while walking down the street. He is instantly taken by her shining eyes and kind smile, and wants to be with her. However, the song takes a darker turn as he sings about being deceived by her. He mentions that he may not be physically attractive to her, but he can show her what love means. Later, the girl comes to him and says that they are meant to be together. The singer is happy with this revelation, but it soon becomes clear that it was all a lie. The song ends with the singer questioning how someone could do this to him and showing him how to cry.

The song portrays the emotions of a person who falls in love with someone at first sight, only to be hurt by them later. The lyrics give insight into the insecurity that can come with a relationship, where one person feels that they are not good enough for the other due to physical appearance. It also showcases the pain of being lied to and broken up with after having built up hope and expectation.

Line by Line Meaning

I was walking down the street one day
Narrating the singer's actions

Then I saw you I didn't know what to say
Being struck by the presence of another person

You're eyes were shining
Noticing a pleasant feature of the other person

You're smile was so kind
Noticing another pleasant feature of the other person

When I saw you I wanted you to be mine
Feeling attracted towards the other person

Maybe I don't have the blonde hair you like
Feeling insecure about one's appearance

Or maybe I don't have eyes like the sky
Continuing to feel insecure about one's appearance

And I'm not sure if I'm the girl in your dreams
Questioning if one is enough for the other person

But I can show you what love means
Offering to demonstrate what being in love is like

One day you came and talked to me
Relating a past event

And you said we are meant to be
Describing the other person's statement

I was happy, everything was so nice
Expressing the artist's positive feelings

But then I found out that everything was a lie
Discovering the other person was not truthful

How could you do this to me
Expressing confusion and hurt

You showed me how to cry
Feeling emotional pain caused by the other person

When you told me everything was a lie
Recalling the revelation of dishonesty by the other person

[Verse 1]
I’m afraid that I’m never afraid
I’ve got combat boots
And I’m American made
Your eyes girl

[Verse 2]
Mormon lover on a delicate day
Going to marry the boss
Get carried away
War cries girl

[Verse 3]
I’m not immune to Canadian snow
Now teach me everything
That I should know
Your eyes girl

[Chorus]
Freeze on the radio
I’ve got to leave and alone
Freeze on the radio
I’ve got to bleed into snow

[Post-Chorus]
Hold on
Let go
We know

[Verse 4]
Do you shine like a temple inside
Can I open your core
So gentle and wide
Your eyes girl

[Verse 5]
Rack ‘em up stretch ‘em out
When they’re tight
This acetylene torch is giving me sight
War cries girl

[Chorus]
Freeze on the radio
I’ve got to leave and alone
Freeze on the radio
I’ve got to bleed into snow

[Post-Chorus]
Hold on
Let go
We know

[Instrumental Bridge]

[Verse 6]
Black and blue from the hullabaloo
Do the caribou bite
When they look into you
And your eyes girl

[Chorus]
Freeze on the radio
I’ve got to leave and alone
Freeze on the radio
I’ve got to bleed into snow

[Post-Chorus]
Hold on
Let go
We know

I'm afraid that I'm never afraid
I've got combat boots
And I'm American made
For your eyes girl
Mormon lover on a delicate day
Gonna marry the boss
Get carried away
War cries girl
I'm not immune to Canadian snow
Now teach me everything
That I should know
With your eyes girl
Freeze on the radio
I've got to leave and alone
Freeze on the radio
I've got to bleed into snow
Hold on
Let go
We know
Do you shine like a temple inside
Can I open your core?
So gentle and wide
Like your eyes girl
Rack 'em up stretch 'em out
When they're tight
This acetylene torch is giving me sight
War cries girl
Freeze on the radio
I've got to leave and alone
Freeze on the radio
I've got to bleed into snow
Hold on
Let go
We know
Black and blue from the hullabaloo
Do the caribou bite
When they look into you
And your eyes girl!!
Freeze on the radio
I've got to leave and alone
Freeze on the radio
I've got to bleed into snow
Hold on
Let go
We know

I dont know why people say RHCP is bad without John. Chilis is Hillel Slovak, Jack Irons, Cliff Martinez, Chad Smith, Flea, Dave Navarro, Anthony Kiedis, hell even Jack Sherman, Arik Marshall and Jesse Tobias. Dont hate on change, RHCP IS CHANGE

Sounds like a legit radio station to me. I'm Beside You IS THE ALBUM! I’m With You is a B-Side compilation, they just played a little trick on the non-fans, that’s all.

The thing I love about the chili peppers is that they've always had the "we don't gove a fuck" attitude. their music have been commercial up and down, but they've never made music TO BE commercial. a lot of their songs are quirky, weird and not exactly what you regularly hear on the radio, like this song. which is a great thing because they make so many songs, they have so many ideas and they make the music for themselves and the fans. They explore genres as they have done from the start!

Las canciones de los RHCP se adecúan perfectamente a mis estados de ánimo. Muchas veces he dicho que los últimos discos no satisfacen mis gustos del todo pues los antiguos son espectaculares. Pero en días como hoy donde solo busco relajarme, esta cancion resulta perfecta. Amo a los RHCP!!!

At 3:26 my heart literally skipped a beat and I randomly started crying. Please stop arguing and fighting over this stupid John and Josh thing, and just enjoy their music. Josh is a Chili Pepper now weather you like it or not, and he's an AMAZING and SENSITIVE artist and I'm so thankful he brought his style to the Chilis.

Joshs vocals are eerie in this song. At the breakdown was awesome He very soft and.subtle but.if.ur.really.listen its.genius in his.own...different to johns god brain...love the RHCP.forever.1983-2013 never made.a bad album

Kevin van den Berg

RHCP has become awesome. It has become a different band, with another style than previous but I like this very much :). People should stop complaining about the fact that they sound different without Frusciante. THEY HAVE BECOME A DIFFERENT BAND OKAY?! I can't wait 'til the next album, I'm really REALLY curious about those new songs :):)
