Green Eyes
Suburban Lawns Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
For I have not your eyes
My waking has not yet been grown at all
Oh, this endless day
Pigment gray on the second floor
My friend died last night, or tried
Lights are not bad for such a small place
He's posing like he's quite big-headed
I know you're a heartful mind
The shades are the Venetian kind
They are drawn down blind
For only lines are shadowed in angles
On my wall in the daytime
My tales have not yet been seen by them
They are only paper
Screaming ladies, converted shirts
I wish and wishes that never came through
Green eyes have not yet been known to me
For I have not your eyes
My waking has not yet been grown at all
Oh, this endless day
Pigment gray on the second floor
My friend died last night, or tried
Lights are not bad for such a small place
He's posing like he's quite big-headed
I know you're a heartful mind
The shades are the Venetian kind
They are drawn down blind
For only lines are shadowed in angles
On my wall in the daytime
My tales have not yet been seen by them
They are only paper
Screaming ladies, converted shirts
I wish and wishes that never came through
Green eyes have not yet been known to me
For I have not your eyes
My waking has not yet been grown at all
The lyrics to Suburban Lawns' song Green Eyes are open to interpretation, but there are a few themes that stand out. The song seems to be about feeling disconnected from the world around you and struggling to find meaning in a mundane existence. The opening lines "Green eyes have not yet been known to me, for I have not your eyes" suggest a longing for something that is just out of reach. The singer is searching for a connection, but feels isolated and alone.
The repetition of "this endless day" and "pigment gray" paints a picture of a monotonous, colorless existence. The reference to a friend who died or attempted suicide adds a layer of darkness to the song, suggesting that the singer may be struggling with depression or grief. The lines "screaming ladies, converted shirts, I wish and wishes that never came through" further emphasize the idea of unfulfilled dreams and desires.
Overall, the lyrics to Green Eyes paint a picture of someone who feels disconnected and restless, searching for something that they can't seem to find. The song captures a sense of longing and isolation that many people can likely relate to.
