| Keane – You Don't See Me Lyrics | 14 years ago |

The way it reaches out to me is that this guy is friends with/or knows a girl that is very attractive, and only looks at and talks to other attractive people : "Like beautiful dawns, all made up and bright Radiant people, in splintering light All moving at the speed of life Reflecting in each others' eyes" The fact that she's attractive is pointed out again by how she thinks that the world revolves about her/how she's feeling/what she's doing: "Oh truly we are, a fortunate few Who turn on your axis, revolve around you All spinning outwards from your sun Passing your reflection on" But he loves her and being the best friend/nice guy he's over looked by her and how she doesn't see his love for her, yet her world still seems fine without it: "Such a beautiful view I guess you've seen it all But you You see nothing at all Such a beautiful view" Towards the end i like to think he's realised how shallow she is and how he doesn't stand a chance with her, yet she's "irresistable" so he can't get her out of her head: "Shining so bright So bright All moving at the speed of life Reflecting in each others' eyes But you're moving with such irresistible speed You don't see me" The realisation being enhanced by "No, you dont see me" as if he's speaking to himself Great lyrics by a great british band and i'm sure they reach out to many who feel the lyrics are very relavent, much like myself. This is how i take the meaning of the song to be anyway... |
