X-Ray Eyes Lyrics

Cover art for X-Ray Eyes lyrics by Guster

This song is about selfish sex. This guy is pounding away, worried only about his own satisfaction. I'm serious.

"X-Ray eyes?" Easiest possible explanation is that it's a metaphor for her being naked.

"I did it for me, I didn't do it for you."

"I only gave til I was done," "Fallen on me this happy ending," (He climaxes) "I was awake and she was numb" (From a senseless pounding).

"And when she started to leave, finally started to leave, Then she looked like she was not even there" This means he was dying for her to leave his house, and she meant nothing, ever, she was not even there.

The lines COULD be about a breakup until you piece together the fact that she's naked, there's also mention of him being awake, unnecessary if they weren't in bed.

I'm really thinking that this song is a thinly veiled metaphor for a drunk one night stand.
