| In fact I think the lyric actually may be 'fill' which makes even more sense. It's double tracked and there's some heavy slurring on that word that makes it hard to tell. | |

The start of that second verse is a little tricky, but I believe it actually goes: 'Everyday I rise both my eyes Then my mind fills with complications.' I think it's supposed to evoke waking up and feeling bad, or at least anxious. Like first your eyes take in your surroundings (complications) then your conscious mind remembers whatever it is that's been troubling you (more complications). So both 'my eyes' and then 'my mind' are being filled with complications, one after the other in quick succession, I think is the idea. Beautiful song. The lyrics almost work as poetry all by themselves, which is really rare for pop music. |
