Your Pretty Eyes
Rediscover Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
if that's what you want me to do
and i'll dance him away
i'll be there for you
i'll be there for you
and i'll sleep all day
if that's where you want me to be
that's where you can find me
yeah you'll find me
and i'll scream your name
at the top of my tired lungs
and i'll scream your name
but until that day comes
until that day comes
i'll look into your pretty eyes
until i know i'm in your mind
until i know i'm in your mind
and i'll scream your name
at the top of my tired lungs
and i'll scream your name
but until that day comes
but until that day comes
i'll look into your pretty eyes
until i know i'm in your mind
until i know i'm in your mind
The lyrics to Rediscover's song "Your Pretty Eyes" seem to be a declaration of devotion to someone who is not reciprocating the same level of affection. The opening lines suggest that the singer is willing to do whatever it takes to make the person they love happy, even if it means "dancing" away a rival or "sleeping" all day at their request. The repeated line "I'll be there for you" emphasizes their dedication and willingness to prioritize the other person's desires above their own.
The chorus, however, reveals the vulnerability and uncertainty that lies beneath this devotion. The singer longs to be "in [the other person's] mind" and fears that they may not be truly seen or heard until that day comes. The repetition of "until that day comes" suggests a hopeful waiting, but also a sense of frustration and longing. The final line, "until I know I'm in your mind," is a poignant admission of the singer's desire to be known and understood by the one they love.
Overall, the lyrics convey a complex mix of devotion, vulnerability, and longing, set to a gentle acoustic melody that enhances the bittersweet tone of the words.
