Two Door Cinema Club – Eat That Up, It's Good For You Lyrics 12 years ago
I think this song is coming from the perspective of a close guy friend who has feelings for this girl but she doesn't feel the same and keeps going through guy after guy and things never work out. He's condescending in a way because she makes him mad but he cares for her too.

You would look a little better
Don't you know
If you just wore less make-up: She tries too hard and at the same time, he feels bad that she feels like she has to make herself good enough because she's beautiful the way she is and he loves her for who she really is.
But its hard to realize
When you're sky high
Fighting off the spaceships: She's going through a lot. Can't see things for what they really are.

And so you're drinking in your room
To make it all go: Always gets extremely emotionally attached and thinks it's going to be different, but it never is.
It didn't end too soon
You've got the next one: Sort of mocking her, but in a loving way. But he knows that she'll get over it and just go on to the next guy in line.
You're holding on too long
You've got to let go
Your other love is gone: She needs to move on. He's not the one for her anyway. She blew it... she seems to have a way with not making relationships work.
And you know

Its too late
Its too late
You've got another one coming
And its going to be the same: Things are just gonna keep happening the same way, going in circles.He doesn't like that, but he knows it's just the way she is and what always happens.

I tried to find a quiet place that we could go
To help you make decisions: best friends, he helps her with guy problems
But I didn't find it easy to tell them apart
With double vision: hard for him because he's trying to see her way and help. Wants her to be happy, but wants them to be more too so he has a hard time sometimes with the two perspectives.

And so you're drinking in your room
To make it all go
It didn't end too soon
You've got the next one
You're holding on too long
You've got to let go
Your other love is gone
And you know

(Its not the same
Its not the same
Its not the same
You're going to tell me that I'm right
You're going to come back down
And find yourself
Where you are again): "wishful thinking. dreaming sort of. They wouldn't be the same as all of her past relationships. they would work out. they're meant to be together. She's going to realize what she's been missing. She's going to become who she was before all of the guys happened and she's going to find herself and be happy. and he'll be happy.

You didn't know
You didn't know
You didn't know
So don't pretend you saw it now
Its not something you'd want to happen
Now you know who you are again: She never saw it coming. She never had feelings for himand didn't want to let herself love him, but it happened. And now she can be herself.
