Eyesore
Women Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
They were flashing white and ecru pale
Gradually they lost our information
Sickly and ungracious, you turn to dirt
But those cruel tricks could not avoid
Me loving you a lot
I just could not
Give out your number now
We were sneaking in to the aquarium
Gold leaf in your teeth has left a trail
This compared to being would be a mistake
Watered down and replaced without a tell
But those cruel tricks could not avoid
Me loving you a lot
I just could not
Tell against your will
Give out your number now
Overboard ahead of me
You're not lying next to me
just below your swaying palms
Hidden by a bank machine
The Women's song "Eyesore" is a complex and enigmatic piece that deals with themes of love, loss, and deception. The first verse portrays a scene where things fall apart, as the lights that once shone bright begin to flicker and fade away. The singer seems to be referring to the deterioration of a romantic relationship that started out with promise but ended up disintegrating due to dishonesty and betrayal. In the second verse, we find out that the couple in question had sneaked into an aquarium, which is metaphorical for the fragile and unstable nature of their relationship. The gold leaf in the partner's teeth is symbolic of his/her superficiality and lack of substance.
The chorus is a lament over the fact that despite everything, the singer cannot help but still love their partner deeply. The partner's reluctance to reciprocate or give out their number is a sign of their unwillingness to commit or be vulnerable in the relationship. The bridge talks about the sinking feeling of being left behind while the partner has moved on. The use of the phrase "just below your swaying palms" suggests that the partner has left the singer for someone younger and more attractive. The final line, "hidden by a bank machine," is an allegory for how the partner's actions have left the singer feeling abandoned and alone.

Overboard ahead of me

Hidden by a bank machine
Our love has been hidden and overshadowed by the mundane and ordinary tasks of everyday life.
