| Franz Ferdinand – Evil Eye Lyrics | 6 years ago |
|
The song is referring to the spiritual meaning of the “evil eye.” The lyric, “What’s the color of the next car? / Yeah, RED, you bastard” probably refers to someone materialistic who freely projects this envy onto others. According to the book “Spiritual Cleansing” by Draja Mickaharic, the Evil Eye is something you can cast upon others by looking at them with ill intent (usually envy), either consciously or subconsciously. Being the victim of the “Evil Eye” can cause symptoms of varying intensity, including flu-like symptoms and mild to severe psychological issues. The lyrics refer to the singer acknowledging this spiritual interpretation (“Don’t believe in God, but I believe in this shit”), and speculating that someone, or multiple people, are envious of him: “Some people wanna see what I can see.” He says that can tell that people direct this at him: “I have the Evil Eye / I can see your soul / You wear it on your face / It’s worn in what you do.” He references that most people can’t tell when they’ve had the Evil Eye cast on them, but he recognizes the symptoms: “It looks so clean / But I can see / The crawling, crawling creatures.” That’s just my interpretation. Love the song, no matter what it means. |
