Your Eyes Lyrics

Nod my head so dumb with love
there's something else I'm dreaming of
Shut my eyes pretend it's there
keep me here, unaware
I would promise all I could
think about it afterward
Humor me just think it through
it's all I ever asked of you

Coming back

Along the barren streets we slide
poke at any dirt we find
Magnify for us to see
then dig them up desperately
I would promise all I could
think about it afterward
Humor me just think it through
it's all I ever asked of you

You come out and say the word
quick how all the tables turned
Hate that there's a space to fill
always have and always will
I'm there when your fingers snap
it's not where we left it at
I can see the love we trapped, coming back
Your Eyes (X8)

I feel like it's about a guy in a relationship with a girl he's madly in love with (or at least he thinks he is in love with her) and he'd do anything for her. He realizes that it isn't supposed to be that way. Yet he comes back.

My Interpretation

I love this song! i can't believe no one commented yet, i'm not that good with interpreting meanings, but i think it's about him wanting to get out of a relationship he feels trapped in. he feels stuck in a state he doesn't want to be in. the song is incredible!

Another I've never heard of.

This song is pretty self-explanatory I think. He is the weaker half in this relationship. “Nod my head so dumb with love, there's something else I'm dreaming of, shut my eyes pretend it's there, keep me here, unaware” He’s checked out of the relationship and is too preoccupied thinking of other things other than what she is talking about. He makes all these promises to her, but later thinks about what he has said and realizes he’s not so sure he really means them. He asks her to humor him by thinking about the things he cares about because she clearly is usually uninterested. “You come out and say the word, quick how all the tables turned” is her saying how she feels right away when she is upset, where as he usually bottles it up. So he is saying the mood changes when she is upset. “Hate that there's a space to fill, always have and always will” is him feeling a void in their relationship. They both try to find things to fight about “poke at any dirt we find, magnify for us to see, then dig them up desperately”. When he says “I’m there when your finger snaps, it’s not where we left it at, I can see the love we trapped, coming back” he is saying that right at the hint of making up, he is eager to do so. After they step away from the fight, they are reminded of their love for each other. Then the song ends with a repetition of “your eyes” which is him surrendering to her because he is influenced by her eyes.
