| Florence + the Machine – Girl with One Eye Lyrics | 14 years ago |
|
She told me not to step on the cracks I told her not to fuss and relax Well, her pretty little face stopped me in my tracks -Two women had sex, but the one who was denying her feelings for the other woman 'the girl with one eye' was straight. It was the first time she had done anything like this so the person singing the song is basically telling her to chill out. The 'pretty little face' conveys the innocence of this girl But now she sleeps with one eye open That's the price she paid The girl has to be wary because after doing this she doesnt want to lose the fact that she is straight and give in to her sexuality. She has to be careful and thats her punishment for having sex with this woman I took a knife and cut out her eye - Cut out her eye i think means that she has changed her view on the world I took it home and watched it wither and die - destroyed her innocence Well, she's lucky that I didn't slip her a smile- lucky i didnt make her fall for me I said, hey, girl with one eye Get your filthy fingers out of my pie I said, hey, girl with one eye I'll cut your little heart out cause you made me cry - Pie is a less crude way of saying women's privates i think. Shes basically telling her to leave her alone now because she doesnt want to have lesbain relations and the girl singing the song is not a lesbian either. They were both straight but curious so it seems, and now they want nothing to do with each other - they have caused eachother pain I slipped my hand under her skirt I said don't worry, it's not gonna hurt - i think that this has a deeper meaning. i reckon that she is telling her she wont break her heart or mess her up, but in the end she did. Oh, my reputation's kinda clouded with dirt - reputation for sleeping around and doing things like this I'll cut your little heart out cause you made me cry - they screwed eachother over. it was just about sex and fun for one of them but the other had deeper feelings |

it means a different thing to everyone, so I don't understand why people argue over this. This is my interpretation anyway: Well, I know that it is freezing But I think we'll have to walk Keep waving at the taxis They keep turning their lights off This could relate to them him asking for help, but people shut him out. He's pleaded for help in the past but he's been rejected and hurt by others, they have denied him the help he needs ( he needs the help because of addiction maybe, or perhaps pain he is going through) But Julie knows a party At some actor's West Side loft Supplies are endless in the evening By the morning they'll be gone He's going to get smashed, its nothing out of the ordinary for him. alcoholic/drug addiction. When everything is lonely I can be my own best friend Get a coffee and the paper Have my own conversations With the sidewalk and the pigeons And my window reflection He feels isolated, and it hurts him to have only have himself to talk to. He feels depressed and lonely, but he can deal with that. The mask I polish in the evening By the morning looks like shit I think that by mask he means a disguise he uses from other people. Because of the crazy things he does in the evening this mask is ruined, and in the morning people know what he is really like, they see through his cover. And I know you have a heavy heart I can feel it when we kiss And many men stronger than me Have thrown their backs out trying to lift it But me, I'm not a gamble You can count on me to split The love I sell you in the evening By the morning won't exist The girl he loves is depressed too (heavy heart) and many men have fallen for her and tried to make her happy. They have failed, and hes is saying that he knows he will too, as he wasn't as strong as them. He warns her not to trust him, because the feelings he tells her about in the evening he will no longer allow himself to show in the morning when he goes back to isolation (as described in the previous verse) You're looking skinny like a model With your eyes all painted black Keep going to the bathroom Always say you'll be right back Well, it takes one to know one, kid I think you've got it bad She goes to the bathroom to do coke. He knows she's doing this - he sees the signs - the big pupils (eyes painted black), the thin physique. It's familiar to him, because he's in her shoes too. But what's so easy in the evening By the morning's such a drag When you are on a high at night you've got no worries, everything is awesome. You feel happy whilst you're still out of it, but you're troubles smack you hard when you wake up. I've got a flask inside my pocket We can share it on the train And if you promise to stay conscious I will try and do the same Yeah, we might die from medication But we sure killed all the pain But what was normal in the evening By the morning seems insane Flask full of alcohol - hes so wasted but he still wants to stay up - because he knows as soon as he falls asleep his troubles will return again when he wakes up, and right now hes forgotten them. He admits that he's doing this all to kill his problems, make the pain go away. He honestly doesn't care if he's digging his own, he just wants to feel good (for once.) And I'm not sure what the trouble was That started all of this He doesn't know how he got himself into the mess he's in. His drug addiction or perhaps alcoholism. The reasons all have run away But the feeling never did When he's on a high he can't find reason for the thing's he does, the false love he sells, but even though he doesn't use his brain to reason he can still feel the emotions that his actions provoke. It's not something I would recommend But it is one way to live Because what is simple in the moonlight By the morning never is He isn't saying his life is good or anything - but he get's by because atleast in the night when he is drunk he feels no pain Yeah, it was simple in the moonlight Now it's so complicated It was so simple in the moonlight So simple in the moonlight So simple in the moonlight He wishes he could bring back the night, because everything makes sense to him then. When he wakes up he has to deal with life. At night he can be who he wants/do what he wants and live alongside his addiction. |
