you're too much
The Eyes Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
You don't know how to be yourself
Now, forgive me
I don't know how to set you free
You need to remember
Why you lost you forever
On the inside
On the bright side
You're far too innocent
To fracture permanently
Don't share your pieces
To those who don't need it
'Cause you're too kind
For your own good
Honey, that's not good
Go find yourself
Before you lose it for good
Stop believing
That you live to serve others
You belong to you for you to see through
A life that you can life through
Those glass-coated eyes
But it would a shame for you
To let life say what you do
It's not true
And yes, you know it too
On the inside
You've always been too kind
On the bright side
You're far too innocent
To fracture permanently
Don't share your pieces
To those who don't need it
'Cause you're too kind
For your own good
Honey, that's not good
On the inside
You've always been too kind
On the bright side
You're far too innocent
To fracture permanently
Don't share your pieces
To those who don't need it
'Cause you're too kind
For your own good
And Honey, that's not good
The song "You're Too Much" by The Eyes is a contemplative and introspective piece that aims to discourage people from focusing too much on the bigger picture of our existence and encourages living in the moment. The lyrics suggest that the knowledge of our eventual death and the insignificance of our lives in the grand scheme of things can be overwhelming and cause anxiety. Instead, the lyrics encourage the listener to focus on the present, enjoy life as it is, and not to overthink or try to understand everything.
The first half of the song seems to suggest that people should not focus too much on the universe and outer space, since that is not where they will live and die. They are instead encouraged to live their life, keep up with the pace, and not question or speak up too much. The second half of the song is more poetic, describing the sensation of falling and flying in a dream-like state, where clouds are like silk and everything is perfect. The lyrics then shift towards nostalgia and the inevitable passage of time, urging the listener to enjoy the moment they are in rather than dwelling on the past or worrying about the future.
In the final verse, there is a longing for companionship and a suggestion that being in the presence of someone special can give one the strength to not overthink and just enjoy life. The overall message of the song appears to be that life is fleeting and short, and that dwelling on the unknowns and mysteries of existence can cause more harm than good. By embracing the present moment and finding joy in the simple things in life, we can find a sense of peace and fulfillment.

Lately in my dreams I've been falling high
I've been dreaming of reaching great heights.
From the ground straight up to the skies
From my place on Earth to the vast unknown beyond it.
Felt the clouds caressing me

Everything felt right and natural in that moment.

Our lives just make for this moment in the end
Our existence on this Earth is temporary and fleeting.
Forgotten things from when you were young
Memories of childhood and innocence that were left behind.
Dolls and toys and smiles and joy and fun
Symbols of simpler times and pure happiness.
All these things turned to ash
All these things have faded away and lost their significance.
Waking up to the same shade
Every day feels the same and there's a lack of excitement or change.
All memories slowly start to fade
Our past experiences become hazy and distant over time.
And it's just you and the time
In the end, all that remains is oneself and the passage of time.
No understanding, eyes are bleak
A feeling of confusion and uncertainty that's reflected in one's eyes.
When I see you my knees are weak
The sight of you has a profound effect on me and makes me feel weak.
I need someone like you in my life
I desire the presence of someone special in my life.
Hold your breath you won't need it for some time
Relax and enjoy the moment as there's no immediate need for caution or worry.
Don't think too much
Don't overanalyze and complicate things unnecessarily.
Just enjoy where you are
Appreciate the present moment and find joy in the simple things in life.

MOD FUN actually used to cover this along with I'm Rowed Out and Please Don't Cry. One of the best bands of that time along with The Creation and The Action.
