They are best summed up by a quote from AMP Magazine - "ball-to-the-wall, hard rockin' melodic hardcore! Think of ALL and NOFX with a monster thick rock guitar sound. Sounds pretty good, huh"
Eve
Twenty2 Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
I see your face & I just want to cry
You look at me & I just can't seem to blink or swallow
How do I feel?
Like I'm on Christmas eve
Your sex appeal makes you look so unreal
Please crack my head open & take a look inside
& tell me what you see
Cause there are some feelings that I hide
Sometimes it gets so hard to keep them inside
Does it show so much that I'm melting as we speak?
Is your hair purple or is it just these lights?
Should I tell you that I came here only to see you?
Who are you/Why are you stalking me?
I never thought I'd meet someone so happy
That's just because I haven't started to talk just yet
& you don't know me
I look at you but I can't bare to look into your eyes
I look at you but I don't dare to look into your eyes
The lyrics to Twenty2's song "Eve" convey the complex and conflicting emotions of the singer as they encounter someone they feel drawn to yet are unable to fully connect with. The singer begins by expressing confusion and sorrow over the situation, stating that they don't know why they are there again that night and that the sight of the other person makes them want to cry. The singer's physical reactions to the other person's presence are described, with an inability to blink or swallow as they try to process their feelings. The singer then compares their emotional state to that of Christmas Eve - a time of anticipation and longing.
The second verse introduces the idea of the singer hiding certain feelings, which can be difficult to suppress. The singer questions whether their emotions are obvious to the other person, asking if they are "melting as we speak." The singer also has moments of uncertainty, questioning whether the other person's hair is really purple or if it is just the lighting. The singer then becomes more direct in their approach, asking if they should reveal that they came to see the other person. However, there is a sense of unease as the singer wonders if they are being stalked, and they acknowledge that the other person does not really know them.
The chorus repeats the idea that the singer cannot look into the other person's eyes, indicating a deeper level of vulnerability and discomfort. Overall, the lyrics suggest a yearning for connection and understanding, but also a fear of being seen and known.
