I've Been Eating (For You) Lyrics
Gah, it makes you wanna find the girl and just slap her across the face a few times...oh, wait, most every Bright Eyes song does.
you know conor is gay right..
you know conor is gay right..
still, slap the girl.
still, slap the girl.
I don'k know what your sources are mrhurtalot, but he is not gay. He has stated in interviews that he loves women and has dated many women in the past.

the hostility of this song makes it so wonderful
"...put back on the shelf in your mirror"
"...at least i'm not blind to the facts i've been wishing were all lies"
I'm pretty sure that's what they are.
Whabam! conoroberstisgod set all you straight. haha thats cool though, didnt know the song title was wrong.
I think some of you have misinterpretted the eating disorder thing. Its not an intentional thing, I think he wishes he could eat but he just never gets hungry. Ive had the same problem as him since I was young. Some one who is depressed or uses a lot of drugs eventually just loses their appetite completely after a while. For a long time I couldnt eat more than half a meal a day, or else i would start feeling really sick. I think that in this song hes dealing with the same thing, but conor wants to start eating so this girl will think he is happy and healthy. I think maybe some of you have been thinking hes not eating because of annorexia, but its really just an appetite thing.
I also agree with other meanings for the end.... who knows Cocaine and how he's been off it since being with ehr so he's still eating = still staying clean or what i said above or That regardless of the cocaine she would have to remind him and ask him to eat something because of depression or whatever else and he is maintaining a healthier eating pattern despite their break up and because he knows that she would want him to or whatever
how could anyone ever hurt someone as beautiful as conor? he's something you should treasure and never let go. i love conor, more than words could ever express. he's a genious. xxx
he is obsessive and he knows it! but its cool he wouldnt write half his shit if he wasnt so eccentric,obsessive,and insane.

hey.. does anyone else notice a reference to eating disorders in some of conor's songs? like this and 'neely o'hara'. i've seen it in a few other songs i've failed to remember the titles of. and the cover art to "every day and every night". hate to mention it, but even the desaparecidos song 'what's new for fall' says "i shouldn't eat so much." hm. even so. the songs are great. if you can write and sing and play, you're good to go.

this has to be one of my favorite bright eyes songs. it hits every memory and feeling ive experienced. it goes from feeling used to denial/wishful thinking to feeling bitter and then finally acceptance.
