OK
bulldog eyes Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

In my dreams it′s you and me
And I am sorry I am selfish
You're so selfless in your starry-eyes affection
I′m paralyzed and you're so sly behind your glasses
With my hand in your hand you're okay
Oh-oh, oh-oh
I feel so lucky to know you
Ah-ah, ah-ah
I feel so lucky to know you
Oh-oh-oh
Oh-oh-oh, oh
Oh-oh
I sing a song you wrote
And I pretend the words were for me
It′s pathetic, I get so excited trying
To conceal the way I really feel about you
In your bed with both your eyes wide open
Oh-oh, oh-oh
I feel so lucky to know you
Ah-ah, ah-ah
I feel so lucky to know you
Oh-oh-oh




Oh-oh-oh, oh
Oh-oh

Overall Meaning

The lyrics of "Ok" by Bulldog Eyes describe a dream sequence in which the singer is with someone who they believe is selfless and affectionate, while they themselves feel guilty for being selfish. The person in question wears glasses and seems sly, and the singer feels paralyzed in their presence. However, with their hand in the other person's, they feel okay. The singer also sings a song written by this person and pretends that the words are directed towards them, even though they know it's pathetic. The final lyric mentions being in the other person's bed with their eyes open.


Throughout the song, there is a sense of longing and unrequited love. The singer seems to be in awe of the other person, but unable to express their feelings fully. There's a sense of admiration and desperation, mixed with guilt and apology. It's a common theme in love songs, but the specific details of the dream and the imagery used by Bulldog Eyes create a unique and evocative atmosphere.
