Eye to Eye

Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Na, na , na-na, na-na, na
Na, na, na-na, na-na, na-na, na-na
Na, na , na-na, na-na, na
Na, na, na-na, na-na, na-na, na-na

Blood and wine may flow
Only love and war make history
We must share flesh and bone
But we don't share philosophy

Some people got a ways to go
Some lessons they don't ever learn
To keep your enemies close
The other cheek you soon will turn

If we don't see eye to eye
That doesn't mean that we can't try
To get along
If we don't see eye to eye
No matter what you and I
We belong together, together

Na, na , na-na, na-na, na
Na, na, na-na, na-na, na-na, na-na
Na, na , na-na, na-na, na
Na, na, na-na, na-na, na-na, na-na

Don't lay your worries on me
I got my own to keep me company
Talk is like a worn out suit
Comes unraveled when it turns cheap

You can have all that I own
But my soul you'll never keep
I'll dig a hole and I'll call it home
'Cause I have learned how to dig deep
How to dig deep

Na, na , na-na, na-na, na
Na, na, na-na, na-na, na-na, na-na
Na, na , na-na, na-na, na
Na, na, na-na, na-na, na-na, na-na

If we don't see eye to eye
That doesn't mean that we can't try
To get along
If we don't see eye to eye
No matter what you and I
We belong, we belong

If we don't see eye to eye
That doesn't mean that we can't try
To get along
Get along

If we don't see eye to eye
No matter what you and I
We belong together, together

Na, na , na-na, na-na, na
Na, na, na-na, na-na, na-na, na-na

Overall Meaning

In the song "Eye to Eye," Sheryl Crow acknowledges that blood and wine may flow, but only love and war make history. She suggests that while we all share flesh and bone, we may not share the same philosophy or values. Some individuals have yet to learn certain lessons, such as keeping their enemies close or turning the other cheek. Even if we don't agree with one another, Crow urges us to strive for understanding and getting along. She repeats the phrase "na, na, na-na, na-na, na" throughout the song, signifying that regardless of our differences, we all belong together.


Crow shares her perspective on the need for self-reliance and independence in the second verse. She advises others not to burden her with their worries, as she has her own to contend with. Talking about one's problems can be the equivalent of a suit that has worn out and raveled. Crow reassures listeners that they can take her possessions, but they will never have her soul. She has learned the art of digging deep, which implies that she pursues self-discovery and self-acceptance.


In conclusion, "Eye to Eye" appears to be a call for unity and understanding despite our differences. Crow recognizes that we may not always agree on everything or share the same values, but we must strive to get along and remember that we belong together.
