Eye Contact
stayMellow Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
With you at this party
Im already drunk
Can we just get this started
Feel no connection
We dance to Nirvana
I know that you know
All the words but you're not
Just stay away
Is that too much to ask
Too much to say
All of my words
Always come out the wrong way
And you look so fucking miserable
Across the room
Im walking up to you
Fucking up with you
Faking love with you
I wont be making eye contact
With you at this party
Im already drunk
Can we just get this started
Feel no connection
We dance to Nirvana
I know that you know
All the words but you're not
Stop I
Don't think I
Can see straight
When did we all
Get so low
All I see
Now its clear
This was fucked up from the get go
We pretend we never knew
Cause everything is perfect
If you've got nothing to lose
If only for a moment
While you're still on my lips
I can feel myself just floating away
And my head feels unattached to my body
I cant think of a reason
Why I feel I should stay
I wont be making eye contact
With you at this party
Im already drunk
Can we just get this started
Feel no connection
We dance to Nirvana
I know that you know
All the words but you're not
I taste the drugs
On your tongue
Lift me up
Lift me up
We wont leave alone if we stay here
I taste the drugs
On your tongue
Lift me up
Lift me up
We wont leave alone if we stay here
I taste the drugs
On your tongue
Lift me up
Lift me up
We wont leave alone if we stay here
I taste the drugs
On your tongue
Lift me up
Lift me up
We wont leave alone if we stay here
The song "Eye Contact" by stayMellow depicts two people who are at a party trying to connect with each other, but there seems to be a lack of chemistry and understanding between them. The singer of the song is already drunk as they start to dance to Nirvana, but the person they are dancing with doesn't seem to be fully present, not singing along to the words despite knowing them. The singer is obviously struggling to establish a connection with this person, but no matter how hard they try, nothing seems to be working.
The chorus of the song reveals the singer's frustration, begging the person to stay away and just let them be. The singer feels that all their words come out the wrong way and doesn't want to continue the charade. They acknowledge that the other person looks miserable, but they still try to fake love with them. As the song progresses, both parties acknowledge that their connection was doomed from the start, and they pretend they never knew each other. The song ends on a somewhat optimistic note, with the hope that they could still share a fleeting moment before moving on.
Overall, "Eye Contact" is a bittersweet depiction of the struggle to connect with others, even in a social situation, and the realization that sometimes it's just not meant to be. The lyrics are well-crafted, capturing the nuances of human interaction in a way that is both relatable and thought-provoking.

It is now evident
This was fucked up from the get go
This situation has been problematic from the start
We pretend we never knew
We act as if we were not aware of the issues
Cause everything is perfect
Because we are trying to convince ourselves that everything is fine
If you've got nothing to lose
If you are not worried about the potential consequences
If only for a moment
Even if it is only temporary
While you're still on my lips
Before I lose the feeling associated with kissing you
I can feel myself just floating away
I am losing myself in the moment
And my head feels unattached to my body
I feel disconnected from myself and my surroundings
I cant think of a reason
I am unable to come up with a justification
Why I feel I should stay
Why I should remain in this situation
I taste the drugs
I can sense the presence of drugs
On your tongue
In your mouth
Lift me up
Elevate my mood or state of being
We wont leave alone if we stay here
If we stay together, we will leave together
