Can't You See
Women Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Feelings blind air
Can't you see
Can't you see
Not so sure that I've seen this face before
Can't you see
Can't you see all
Take fault and rust
Told us the wrong way out
Hop to the town
Want to make a pass
Want to starve and
Can't you see
Can't you see
Not so sure that I've seen this face before
Can't you see
Can't you see all
I spill the public strain
Take fault and rust
The beaten chill of fright
Hop to the town
The lyrics to "Can't You See" are somewhat cryptic and open to interpretation, but seem to convey a feeling of restlessness and uncertainty. The singer is waiting for something, perhaps the night, and feeling a sense of blindness or confusion. They ask repeatedly "Can't you see?" which could be a plea for someone to help them understand, or a frustration with feeling unseen themselves.
The second half of the lyrics introduce some new ideas, with references to a mysterious face, a beaten chill of fright, and the idea of taking fault and rust. There's a sense of wanting to make a change or a pass, and possibly feeling stuck or trapped.
Line by Line Meaning
Waiting for the night
Anticipating a time of darkness and solitude
Feelings blind air
My emotions overwhelm me and fill the atmosphere
Can't you see
Don't you understand?
Can't you see
Are you blind to what I'm feeling?
Not so sure that I've seen this face before
I'm unsure if I've encountered this person's likeness previously
Can't you see
Don't you comprehend?
Can't you see all
Can't you perceive the entire picture?
The beaten chill of fright
The fear that has overcome me leaves me bruised and defeated
Take fault and rust
I own up to my mistakes and shortcomings
Told us the wrong way out
Misled us with inadequate guidance
Hop to the town
Flee to the urban setting
Want to make a pass
Desire to make a romantic advance
Want to starve and
Want to experience intense hunger and deprivation
Can't you see
Are you oblivious?
Can't you see
Can't you perceive?
I spill the public strain
I reveal my inner turmoil to the world
Take fault and rust
I'm accountable for my actions and accept the wear and tear of life
The beaten chill of fright
The cold and battered state of dread that has consumed me
Hop to the town
Escape to the city

They're still one of the most unbelievable bands of the 21st century

Women are one of those bands we'll look back on as better than we have them credit for. Noise pop for people who don't like noise music, psychedelic music for people who like alcohol and/or downers as much as weed and acid, and post punk for those born after post punk meant anything.

@In nrml mode Imagine thinking the amount of chords used is in any way related to the quality of the music or message.

This is literally the most perfect song that has ever existed im in love. I have listened to their album through and through, but none of their songs hit as close to home as this... Thank you...

Love this song, and the performance plus the camera work just make it feel even better and captures perfectly the whole dysphoria that the album as a whole represented.
