She turned her tender eyes to me
As deep as any ocean
As sweet as any harmony
Mmm, but she blinded me with science
She blinded me with science
And failed me in biology
Blinding me with science, science
I can smell the chemicals
Blinding me with science, science
Science, science
Mmm, but it's poetry in motion
And when she turned her eyes to me
As deep as any ocean
As sweet as any harmony
Mmm, but she blinded me with science
And failed me in geometry
When she's dancing next to me
Blinding me with science, science
Science, I can hear machinery
Blinding me with science, science
Science
It's poetry in motion
And now she's making love to me
The spheres are in commotion
The elements in harmony
She blinded me with science
She blinded me with science
And hit me with technology
Good heavens Miss Sakamoto
You're beautiful,
I-I don't believe it
There she goes again
She's tidied up,
And I can't find anything
All my tubes and wires
And careful notes
And antiquated notions
But, it's poetry in motion
And when she turned her eyes to me
As deep as any ocean
As sweet as any harmony
Mmm, but she blinded me with science
She blinded me with, with science
She blinded me with
William Shatner's "She Blinded Me With Science" is a song that uses science as a metaphor for the confusing and complex nature of love. The first verse describes the woman as being like poetry in motion, with tender eyes as deep as any ocean and as sweet as any harmony. However, in the chorus, Shatner sings that she blinded him with science, suggesting that the woman's intensity and complexity are overwhelming and difficult for him to comprehend. He even notes in the second verse that he can smell chemicals and hear machinery when she dances next to him.
Despite this confusion, Shatner finds the woman's beauty and passion irresistible. In the final verse, Shatner describes the woman making love to him, causing the spheres to be in commotion and the elements in harmony. However, she also hit him with technology, perhaps suggesting that her passion and intensity also have a dark side.
Overall, "She Blinded Me With Science" depicts love as a mesmerizing yet bewildering force, using scientific language and imagery to express its complexity and power.
