Giants
Wampire Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
The size of my eyes, three times bigger than I'll ever be
If there's something you need, I need from you
Couldn't find my home, ain't got no shoes
I can give back, give back to you
Anythang you want, anything I can do
Cos I give, to you, you give, to me
But I ne-ver seem, to get what, I need
I wish, you see, what i keep on
I'm up in a tree, you dead in the wheats
There's a hole in my head, that you can't see
With a million prices, ex's in time
Everythag is secluded, in my mind
Your falling asleep, I'm watching you
Things are boiling up, nothing i can do
Cos I give, to you, you give, to me
But I just, can't get, what I need
But your prints, tis what, i'm reeking of
I wish you could see, like giant people
Nothing I can do, tired of running through
All the days are waste, where am I the same
People are so strange, stranger than I knew
Something that you learn, I'll learn with you
The lyrics to Wampire's song Giants are somewhat surreal and dreamlike. It seems to convey a sense of disorientation and confusion, with the singer feeling lost and disconnected from reality. The first line, "I couldn't believe the size of my mind," suggests a sense of overwhelm and astonishment at the scope of his thoughts and feelings. The "size of my eyes" being "three times bigger than I'll ever be" could represent the singer's desire to see the bigger picture, to understand more than is currently possible for him.
Throughout the song, there is a recurring theme of giving and receiving, with the singer wanting to offer help and support to someone else, while at the same time feeling inadequate and unable to get what he needs. The line "But I never seem to get what I need" suggests a sense of longing and unfulfilled desire, with the singer searching for something beyond his grasp.
The chorus, "Cos I give, to you, you give, to me, But I ne-ver seem, to get what, I need" reinforces this feeling of imbalance and frustration. The lyric "I wish you could see, like giant people," implies a sense of being overwhelmed and small in comparison to the world around him. In the end, the singer seems to accept his limitations and acknowledge that there are things he cannot change or control. "Something that you learn, I'll learn with you" suggests a willingness to move forward and grow, even in the face of uncertainty.
Overall, Giants is a profound reflection on the human experience - on our desire for connection and understanding, our struggles with self-doubt and insecurity, and our ultimate search for meaning and purpose.

I always loved this song but I never saw the video until like two days ago and it made me cry like a child. It’s just so powerful and... sad!! The way he never lets her see his eyes... he’s always protecting himself from his positive emotions while projecting his negative emotions towards her, her eyes are always wide open and visible as if she was always the one open to vulnerability. The part with the car and the guy on the backseat makes me think of him feeling like a burden in her life. And then they’re drinking (possibly on a first date??) and he takes the glasses off but he still has his eyes shut. AND THEN THEY’RE SLOW DANCING AND THAT’S THE ONLY PART WHERE HIS EYES ARE EXPOSED BUT HE DOES IT IN A WAY SHE IS NOT GOING TO BE ABLE TO LOOK AT HIS EYES! Man... that’s some heavy stuff right there
