The Carol in Her Eyes
Solomonophonic Lyrics

Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴

Where were you when you were just a little girl
The little boy in me
Woulda fell in love with you
If only i grew up
And blew up
I would be a millionaire
I′d share it with you and me
And thats all we need

I hold you real tight
Real close
I make you all mine
As we afloat
Baby your mine
Forever and ever
Carol

The carol in her eyes
Just don't see the same
I know when she lies
She just don′t see the same
I don't know what changed her
I don't know what phased her
It just don′t see the same
It just don′t see the same

Where were you
When i first looked in your eyes
It made me feel so good
Warm and chewy on the inside
But when she took her glasses
Her eyes pierced through me sweet as molasses
I got the passes and the assets
And you know that i won't be going past it
I hold you real tight
I hold you real close
I make you all mine
As we afloat down the river of love
From up above
You know you see me
From heaven please
Baby i want you forever

The carol in her eyes
Just don′t see the same
I know when she lies
She just don't see the same
I don′t know what changed her
I don't know what phased her

It just don′t see the same
It just don't see the same

Overall Meaning

In "The Carol In Her Eyes," Solomonophonic reminisces about a girl he knew from childhood, imagining what might have happened if they had fallen in love. He wonders where she was when they were both growing up, and if things might have turned out differently if circumstances had been different. The lyrics suggest that he would have become successful and wealthy, and would have wanted to share his success with her.

The second half of the song focuses on the present day, and the changes that have come over the girl he knew. He notes that "the carol in her eyes" no longer looks the same as it did when they were kids, and that he can tell when she is lying. Although he doesn't know what has caused this transformation, he is clearly unhappy about it and wishes that things could go back to the way they were.

Overall, the song is about lost opportunities and missed connections, as well as the pain of seeing someone you care about change in ways that you don't understand. It is a wistful and melancholy reflection on love and longing.
