Anymore
Who spooned, the sun arrived
What point is there in showing me for?
What I am
When it's plain to see
If this is meant to become a man
What are you running from? (Running from)
Now, why are you scared? (Why are you scared?)
I wanna go home, wanna go all the way home
To see you
But you know
That I'm not there
It's harder than two left feet when you try keep up with the tide
I know you're thinking, oh, isn't he sweet?
But from where I stand I couldn't be that if I
Tried my best (Tried my best)
Oh it's plain to see
That I'm no better than the rest
Honey, keep reminding me
What are you running from? (Running from)
Now, why are you scared? (Why are you scared?)
I wanna go home, wanna go all the way home
To see you
But you know
That I'm not there
Five days on the run
Like it's never been
Easier to just exist
Or break my own routine
Three weeks to ignore
Or staring at my face
Always wanting more
To pause but not replace
Pause but not replace
What are you running from?
Now, why are you scared?
I wanna go home, I wanna go all the way home
To feel you that you know
That I'm not there
The lyrics of "Blue Eye Magic" by You & Explosion Band and Yuji Ohno portray a sense of longing and identity crisis. The opening lines suggest that the singer used to see the blue eyes of a little baby, but now, they no longer see them. This could represent a loss of innocence or a fading connection with someone or something that held significance. The mention of the sun's arrival and questioning the purpose of showing it emphasizes a feeling of confusion and uncertainty about one's path in life.
The chorus delves into the singer's internal struggle. They question what they are running from and why they are scared, expressing a desire to return home but acknowledging their absence from it. This longing for home can be interpreted metaphorically as a search for emotional stability or a feeling of belonging. However, the acknowledgment of not being present suggests that they are disconnected from their true self.
The following verse uses the metaphor of having two left feet, emphasizing the singer's difficulty in keeping up with the "tide" or the expectations and demands of the world. The notion that others may find the singer sweet contrasts with their own perception of themselves. They feel inadequate and incapable of being as sweet or successful as others may perceive them to be.
The lyrics continue to explore the singer's internal conflicts and insecurities. The phrase "Tried my best" reveals their recognition of putting forth effort, but still believing that they are no better than the rest. They long for someone, perhaps the person they are singing to, to remind them of their worth and potential.
The final section of the song suggests a period of time spent escaping or avoiding something. Five days on the run implies a desire to break free from routine or circumstance. The singer reflects on the temptation to just exist without actively pursuing fulfillment. Staring at their own face, they always want more, but struggle with finding a balance between progress and contentment. The repetition of "pause but not replace" indicates a craving for growth and change without completely abandoning their current state.
In conclusion, "Blue Eye Magic" delves into themes of identity crisis, longing for home or emotional stability, and the internal struggles of self-doubt and insecurity. It reflects on the challenges of keeping up with society's expectations while grappling with personal desires and aspirations. Overall, the lyrics provoke introspection and invite the listener to contemplate their own search for purpose and acceptance.
