EYES
The Younger Lyrics

Reflections of Tania in the water
The image of Tania is mirrored in the water, symbolizing introspection and self-reflection.

Painting with color
Expressing oneself and adding vibrancy to life through artistic creation.

Boat on fire
A metaphorical representation of intense emotions or circumstances consuming one's being.

Whispering to every angry daughter
Speaking softly and providing solace to those facing anger or discontent, particularly women.

Our imaginings reaching for backward desire
Yearning for past experiences or nostalgia, with our thoughts and fantasies seeking comfort in what has already passed.

Madness is like a marble between your thumb and finger
Insanity is a small but powerful element that one can grasp and control, yet its effects continue even after it is gone.

Long after it's gone, its presence still lingers
The influence and impact of madness persist long after its initial occurrence, leaving a lasting impression.

Holding your thoughts, releasing your breath
Capturing and holding onto one's thoughts and emotions, allowing for their subsequent release and relief.

Rehearsing your repertoire, forget lines, names, and faces
Practicing and refining one's skills, while simultaneously letting go of the expectations and pressures associated with specific roles, identities, and people.

Get us outta here, nothing was the same
Desiring to escape from the current situation or circumstances, as everything has changed and lost its previous familiarity.

I slipped into a shadow and I acted kind of strange
Entering a state of darkness or uncertainty, leading to unconventional or peculiar behavior.

The mind begins narrow, and at first it's rather plain
Initially, the mind is limited in its perspective and lacks complexity, appearing ordinary and straightforward.

Straight just like an arrow, but its shape begins to change
Initially following a direct and predictable path, the mind gradually evolves and transforms, deviating from its initial simplicity.

Guess it just goes to show
This realization serves as evidence or proof of the nature of the mind's evolution.

And the sun, and the smoke, and the tears get in your eyes
The elements of light, haze, and emotions obstruct one's clarity and cloud their vision.

And you run, and you choke, and you're laughing as you cry
Feeling a mix of panic, suffocation, and ironic amusement while experiencing overwhelming emotions.

Insane then, ecstatic again
Alternating between states of madness and euphoria, experiencing extreme emotional fluctuations.

Losing my grip, in love with this
Losing control or stability, yet finding a peculiar fondness or attachment to this chaotic state.

And I know that I will never say it again
Having a certainty that a particular statement or expression will never be voiced or shared again.

That wishing existence never ever began
Expressing a desire or regret for the non-existence or absence of one's own being and experiences.

And I know that I will never come here again
Having a firm belief that one will never return to a specific place or emotional state.

Heading back into sunset
Moving towards the end or culmination of a journey or experience, symbolized by the setting sun.
