After serving in a range of Boston acts, including E.R., Get Help and The Spanish Armada (all onThe Beatings' Midriff Records imprint), Parlin cemented the foundations of Soccer Mom when bassist Deveau joined full-time. In due course fellow E.R. sideman and Spanish Armadaprincipal William Scales enlisted as second guitarist, along with Spanish Armada drummerDavid Kaplan.
In 2010, with what they describe as "a collective caesura among the various competing projects", the band reaped well-deserved attention for their debut 7". They have since recorded this breath-taking 6-song EP with Shaun Curran at The Napoleon Complex in Somerville, MA, which they mastered with Eric Baird at Half Son of Audio.The departure ofKaplan in early 2011 left vacant the drum chair for another E.R. cohort, drummer Justin Kehoe, with whom they continue to deliver their blistering live performances.
Soccer Mom's distinct sound emerges from a detailed exploration of intimate connections between contrasting forces. Through melody and dischord, clean tones and chaotic feedback, they find a balance between the referential and the staggeringly new. The vocals are often sparse and quietly deconstruct conventional song structure amidst a whirlwind of dual guitar histrionics.

Crystal Eyes
Soccer Mom Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
you keep it in your pocket where it won't ever see the sun
but you can't deny what's pouring out of your blue eyes
i see the love behind
and i know what's in your mind
why won't you let me behind those crystal eyes
oh i know it's coming out in other ways
bc i can see right through what's coming out of your blue eyes
i feel the love behind
i know what's in your mind
why won't you let me inside baby
i'll always give you another try
to let my behind those crystal eyes
oh i know that you are not the type to show
all that you're feeling but thats how the healing goes
bc you can't move past what's lingering in your blue eyes
i know there's love behind
and i see what's in your mind
but you won't let me behind those crystal eyes
oh i know you won't ever give it up
you keep it in your pocket where it won't ever see the sun
but you can't deny what's pouring out of your blue eyes
i see the love behind
and i know what's in your mind
why won't you let me inside baby
i'll always give you another try
to let my behind those crystal eyes
The song Crystal Eyes by Soccer Mom is about trying to understand someone who is guarded and doesn't let others in. The lyrics describe how the person being sung to is keeping something hidden "in their pocket where it won't ever see the sun," suggesting that they are protective of their emotions and don't want to show vulnerability. Despite this, the singer can still see the love in their eyes and wants to understand what's behind this emotional wall. They offer a second chance to connect with this person, hoping that they will eventually let their guard down and allow the singer to see what's behind their crystal eyes.
The choruses express frustration and confusion about not being able to get through to this person. The lyrics "why won't you let me behind those crystal eyes" and "you won't let me inside baby" express a desire for intimacy and understanding that is not being reciprocated. The verses provide some insight into why this person may be so guarded. It suggests that they have been hurt in the past and are afraid of being vulnerable again. The lyric "I know that you are not the type to show all that you're feeling but that's how the healing goes" suggests that the person needs to let their guard down in order to heal from past hurts and move on with their lives.

Swear, I’m still expecting that “A Netflix Original” splash screen or logo reveal when your videos start. There’s so much attention to detail in your words, characters and videos overall! Thanks for the super relaxing vibes, this definitely helps cool things down here on such a humid day 🙏🏽😴

I used to do soccer a long time ago so it was nice seeing a soccer mom being hypnotized. Always so relaxing and sleepy seeing Dr Collins hypnotize someone
Charles Higgie
I agree. It is so nice to relax and feel sleepy isn't it?
