Pale Blue Eyes
Schiller Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Sometimes I feel so sad.
Sometimes I feel so happy,
But mostly you just make me mad.
Baby, you just make me mad.
Linger on, your pale blue eyes.
Linger on, your pale blue eyes.
Thought of you as my peak.
Thought of you as everything,
I've had but couldn't keep.
I've had but couldn't keep.
Linger on, your pale blue eyes.
Linger on, your pale blue eyes.
If I could make the world as pure and strange as what I see,
I'd put you in the mirror,
I put in front of me.
I put in front of me.
Linger on, your pale blue eyes.
Linger on, your pale blue eyes.
Skip a life completely.
Stuff it in a cup.
She said, Money is like us in time,
It lies, but can't stand up.
Down for you is up."
Linger on, your pale blue eyes.
Linger on, your pale blue eyes.
It was good what we did yesterday.
And I'd do it once again.
The fact that you are married,
Only proves, you're my best friend.
But it's truly, truly a sin.
Linger on, your pale blue eyes.
Linger on, your pale blue eyes.
Schiller & Andrea Corr's song "Pale Blue Eyes" is a melancholic ballad that expresses a mix of emotions, reflecting the ups and downs of a complex relationship. The song expresses the singer's feelings towards someone who at times brings joy, and at other times brings anger. The lyrics touch on themes of heartbreak, longing, and regret, as they convey the struggle to let go of a love that once was. The refrain, "Linger on, your pale blue eyes" is repeated throughout the song, perhaps serving as a metaphor for the lingering imprint that this person has on the singer's heart and mind.
The song's opening verse juxtaposes feelings of happiness and sadness, emphasizing the emotional complexity of the situation. The singer admits to feeling angry most of the time, which could suggest a feeling of being trapped in an unhappy relationship. The second stanza uses metaphorical language to describe the person the singer is addressing, painting them as a mountain top that they considered their peak, emphasizing the height of their emotional attachment to this person. The lines "I've had but couldn't keep" evoke the feeling of yearning for something that has slipped away.
The third verse is perhaps the most enigmatic, referencing the idea of making the world strange and pure, and putting the object of one's desire in a mirror in front of them. This could suggest a desire to escape from reality and create a fantasy where the relationship works. The final verse is strikingly cryptic, and perhaps suggests that the person the singer is addressing is married to someone else, and that the relationship is taboo. The singer acknowledges that this is a sin, but cannot let go of their feelings.
Line by Line Meaning
Sometimes I feel so happy,
Occasionally I feel joyous
Sometimes I feel so sad.
Other times I feel gloomy
Sometimes I feel so happy,
Occasionally I feel joyous
But mostly you just make me mad.
Sadly, you're the source of most of my anger
Baby, you just make me mad.
My dear, you provoke my anger
Linger on, your pale blue eyes.
Stay with me, I can't get enough of your pale blue eyes
Thought of you as my mountain top,
I regarded you as my highest point
Thought of you as my peak.
I considered you to be the pinnacle
Thought of you as everything,
To me, you were everything
I've had but couldn't keep.
But unfortunately, I couldn't hold onto you
Linger on, your pale blue eyes.
Remain with me, I can't get enough of your pale blue eyes
If I could make the world as pure and strange as what I see,
If I could create a world as unique and untainted as what I perceive,
I'd put you in the mirror,
I'd reflect you in the mirror
I put in front of me.
That I keep in front of me.
Linger on, your pale blue eyes.
Stay with me, I can't get enough of your pale blue eyes
Skip a life completely.
Bypass an entire existence entirely.
Stuff it in a cup.
Pack it into a container.
She said, Money is like us in time,
She stated that money and people have something in common when it comes to time.
It lies, but can't stand up.
They both may not always tell the truth but ultimately, it can't withstand the test of time.
Down for you is up.
Your priorities are the opposite of mine.
Linger on, your pale blue eyes.
Stay with me, I can't get enough of your pale blue eyes
It was good what we did yesterday.
What we did yesterday was enjoyable
And I'd do it once again.
I would gladly do it again
The fact that you are married,
Your marital status is a fact
Only proves, you're my best friend.
But it only confirms that you are my closest companion
But it's truly, truly a sin.
However, it is undoubtedly wrong.
Linger on, your pale blue eyes.
Stay with me, I can't get enough of your pale blue eyes
