Cover art for Red Eyes  lyrics by War On Drugs, The

To me, this is a like a mood poem--I can't overanalyze it. It is what it is...to add interpretation would ruin it.

It reminds me of early R.E.M. songs or early Feelies music where mumbled lyrics created a tapestry of feeling with different words and ideas drifting through and having impact at different times. The song is musically similar to "Coming Through," but I will gladly forgive that fact because I love "Coming Through" as well.
