Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
tell me did you want to smile, when i cried
you can tell me
i promise: i will not laugh
yeah, you can tell me.
i could care less about that.
tell me did you want to die sometimes,
well you can tell me
i promise: i will not laugh
yeah, you can tell me.
i could care less about that.
and i just wanna feel you close to me
and i just wanna feel you feeling me
i just wanna
i just wanna
i just wanna sleep here
i just wanna feel you feeling me
cause tonight will be the last night
that you'll ever see... my pretty eyes.
and you can finally sleep without your telephone ringing
and you can finally be better,
better without me
tell me did you want to die sometimes,
tell me did you want to smile, when i cried
well you can tell me
i promise: i will not laugh
yeah, you can tell me.
i could care less about that.
and i just wanna feel you close to me
and i just wanna feel you feeling me
i just wanna
i just wanna
i just wanna sleep here
i just wanna feel you feeling me
cause tonight will be the last night
that you'll ever see... my pretty eyes.
and you can finally sleep without your telephone ringing
and you can finally be better,
better without me
and i just wanna feel you close to me
and i just wanna feel you feeling me
i just wanna
i just wanna
i just wanna sleep here
i just wanna feel you feeling me
(i just wanna) cause tonight will be the last night
(i just wanna) that you'll ever see my pretty eyes.
and you can finally sleep without your telephone ringing
and you can finally be better,
better without me
you fell down so get back up kid
well i did, so call me when you get this

The song "My Pretty Eyes" by Rediscover is a melancholic and contemplative piece that seems to reflect on a failed relationship. The song starts with the singer asking their former partner if they ever wanted to lie or smile when the singer was crying. Despite the hurt, the singer invites their ex-partner to be honest and promises not to judge or scorn them. The chorus shows the singer's desire to be physically and emotionally close to their former partner again. They want to feel them, and they just want to sleep together.
As the song progresses, the singer repeats the same questions but adds a sense of finality by stating that tonight will be the last night that their ex-partner will see their "pretty eyes." The lyrics suggest that the singer is ready to move on, and their ex-partner will finally be able to sleep without the phone ringing, implying that they used to frequently call or text each other. The song ends with the singer urging their former partner to get back up because they already have.
Overall, "My Pretty Eyes" is a poignant piece that tackles the complex emotions that come with the end of a relationship. It shows vulnerability, honesty, and a sense of finality that signals closure.
