Once the relationship’s over, Lean’s doing a lot of drugs to drive the pain away, but it actually doesn’t help that much: “I just popped a pill, I can’t control myself”.
Eye Contact
Yung Lean Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Everyday shit, fuck what you heard-heard
I'm so high that I′m flyin' like a bird-bird (brrr!)
All of that I know is that it's her-her
I-I-I am surfing on the earth, I′m a surfer
Draped in that Gucci scarf, my phone goin′ berserk
I don't do no eye contact, my vision blurred-blurred
I′m a demon like a fur-fur, they think I'm absurd-surd
I′m too fucked up, she said when I hurt her
I don't have no feelings left, I don′t wanna hurt her
I am surfing on the earth, I'm a surfer
Look into the sky and I see myself
I don't wanna fall down, I don′t need your help
I just popped a pill, I can′t control myself
I'm in that forest and my life is like a fairy tale
Diamonds in my veins, I′m sippin' ginger ale
Hate in my heart, getting guided by elves
I′m a lion in this shit, everyone else is stale (stale, stale!)
Smoke still coming out my mouth when I exhale (yeah!)
Look into the sky and I see myself
I don't wanna fall down, I don′t need your help
Shout out to my enemies, I wish you well
Shout out to my enemies, I wish you well
The lyrics to Yung Lean's song "Eye Contact" depict a sense of detachment and disconnection from reality. The opening lines reference his extravagant lifestyle, as he pulls up in a luxurious car (a Veyron) and dismisses any rumors or judgments. He claims to be so high that he feels like he's flying like a bird, emphasizing a sense of freedom and euphoria. He then mentions a mysterious "her" that he knows, representing a connection or relationship that he values.
Yung Lean continues to express his detachment and blurred vision, both literally and metaphorically. He likens himself to a surfer, navigating the earthly realm, draped in a Gucci scarf. His phone going berserk suggests a chaotic state of mind, overwhelmed by external distractions. The repetition of "blurred-blurred" signifies a lack of clear perception or focus.
The lyrics take a darker turn as Yung Lean acknowledges his demon-like nature and the perception of him being absurd. He mentions entering the galaxy, implying a detachment from earthly matters and entering a different realm of existence. The line "I'm too fucked up, she said when I hurt her" suggests that his actions or behavior have negatively impacted someone, possibly a romantic partner or someone close to him. Despite this, he claims to have no feelings left and repeats his identification as a surfer on earth.
In the second verse, Yung Lean's words take on a more introspective tone. Looking into the sky, he sees himself, metaphorically reflecting on his own identity and purpose. He asserts his independence and self-sufficiency, stating that he doesn't want to rely on anyone else. The mention of popping a pill and the inability to control himself suggests a reliance on substances to cope with his emotions or reality.
The final lines of the song convey a somewhat conflicting message. Yung Lean gives a shout-out to his enemies and expresses a desire for their well-being. This can be interpreted as a sign of maturity or acceptance, possibly indicating that he wishes no harm upon those who may have wronged him.
Overall, "Eye Contact" delves into the themes of detachment, self-reflection, and the use of substances to cope with emotions. It provides a glimpse into Yung Lean's complex mindset and experiences.
