Well guess what
My eyes turning blood red from everything we had
She showed me lovely things that made me take a dab
I guess I'm high twenty-four god damn seven
God damn seven oh god its heaven
Mary Jane is starting to walk away
She's holding my hand and saying its okay
Her eyes are red but her heart is fine
Her love isn't hard to find
I'm wasting all my time on the wrong things
Time to start looking forward to the bright things
Hey Mary look
My eyes turning blood red from everything we had
She showed me lovely things that made me take a dab
Hey Mary where are you gonna take me
Is it somewhere green and full of tree
Maybe if you're sad then look at me
Blood red eyes and I'm always happy
Hey look my
My eyes turning blood red from everything we had
She showed me lovely things that made me take a dab
I guess I'm high twenty-four god damn seven
God damn seven oh god its heaven
Oh god its heaven
Mary Jane is starting to walk away
She's holding my hand and saying its okay
Her eyes are red but her heart is fine
I cant say the same for mine
I'm wasting all my time on the wrong things
Time to start looking forward to the bright things
Hey Mary can I say something
Mary Jane is starting to walk away
She's holding my hand and saying its okay
Her eyes are red but her heart is fine
Her love isn't hard to find
Mary Jane is starting to walk away
She's holding my hand and saying its okay
Her eyes are red but her heart is fine
I cant say the same for mine
The lyrics to "Eyes" by Space Above And Beyond depict a conversation between the singer and Mary, using the metaphorical language of drugs to describe the intensity of their relationship. The singer addresses Mary, expressing his desire to say something important to her. However, Mary is seemingly distancing herself, indicated by the line "Mary Jane is starting to walk away." The singer's eyes are described as turning blood red, symbolizing the emotional toll their relationship has taken on him.
Despite the turbulence in their connection, the singer acknowledges the positive aspects that Mary brings to his life. She has shown him beautiful things that have made him "take a dab," referring to the use of drugs to escape or enhance experiences. The line "I guess I'm high twenty-four god damn seven" suggests that the singer is constantly caught up in the overwhelming emotions and intensity of their relationship. He finds solace and happiness in this state, referring to it as heaven.
As the song progresses, the singer pleads with Mary to stay and take him somewhere peaceful, described as a green place full of trees. He sees himself as a source of happiness for Mary despite his blood-red eyes, indicating that he is always content while she may be troubled. He realizes he has been wasting his time on the wrong things and resolves to focus on the brighter aspects of life.
However, the song concludes with a sense of resignation and sadness. Mary is still walking away, holding the singer's hand and reassuring him that everything is okay. The contrast between her red eyes and her fine heart highlights the internal struggle she may be facing. The singer can't say the same for his own heart, implying that he is hurt and not as emotionally resilient as Mary.
Overall, "Eyes" delves into the complexities of a relationship characterized by intensity, turmoil, and a sense of longing. The lyrics use the metaphorical language of drugs and emotional colors to provide insights into the singer's state of mind and the dynamics of their connection.
