Never Eyes
Valensia Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Stay within vogue, go with flow: it′s safe
But amities skin-deep never appealed to you
Yet the choice for loneliness means heartache too
But sometimes as a man he's breaking al the rules
He becomes a hermit just like you
The space that friends and lovers should fill
What ever have we done to deserve this
Hey you′re congenial
My brother Never Eyes
Hey you too are congenial
My sister Never Eyes
We never had the same blood and eyes
But we're kindfolk
Covering your eyes from the clothes they make
Closing your ears to the music played
Your lips sealed since you gave up looking for an equal soul
Since there was no out there at all
A little of your hope is taken by the wind
When things you like 'bout this world now seem gone
Smiling when tears well in your eyes: a painful disguise
What ever have we done to deserve this
Hey you′re congenial
My brother Never Eyes
Hey you too are congenial
My sister Never Eyes
We never had the same blood and eyes
But we′re kindfolk
We love you Never Eyes
We love you
The song "Never Eyes" by Valensia is a poignant expression of loneliness and isolation. The lyrics describe the conflict between societal expectations of conformity and the desire for true connections with others. The first verse urges the listener to conform and go with the flow to be safe, but acknowledges that surface-level relationships cannot meet the deeper need for intimacy. The singer of the song is described as sometimes breaking the rules and becoming a "hermit" like the listener, but the resulting loneliness is still painful.
The chorus of the song is a message of love and acceptance for the listener, who is referred to as "Never Eyes." Despite not sharing the same blood or eyes, the singer declares that they are "kindfolk" and loves the listener. The second verse continues the theme of the listener's isolation, describing how they have given up looking for an equal soul and now smile through tears as a painful disguise. The song ends with a repeated declaration of love and a plea to understand why the listener is in their current state.
Overall, "Never Eyes" is a heartfelt and emotionally resonant song about the difficulties of finding true connection in a conformist society.
