This song seemingly tackles the methods of deception those who manipulate others use to get victims to follow their demands, as well as diverting attention away from important issues. They'll also use it as a means to convince people to hate or kill others by pretending acts of terrorism were committed by the enemy when the acts themselves were done by the masters of control to promote discrimination and hate. It also reinforces the idea that these manipulative forces operate in various locations, infiltrating everyday life without detection, and propagate any and everywhere.
In general, it highlights the danger of hidden agendas, manipulation, and distraction, serving as a critique of those who exploit chaos and confusion to control and gain power, depicting a cautionary tale against falling into their traps. It encourages us to question the narratives presented to us and remain vigilant against manipulation in various parts of society.
Wish enough, wise man'll tell you a lie
Window broke, torn up screens
Who'd have thought that you'd dream
Of a single tragic scene
I just want to sing a song with you
I just want to take it off of you
'Cause Blue Eyes
You are all that I need
'Cause Blue Eyes
You're the sweet to my mean
Fess it up, dot on the palm of your hand
I can help you to stand
Saved it up for this dance
Tell me all the things you can
I just want to sing a song with you
I just want to be the one that's true
'Cause Blue Eyes
You're the secret I keep
'Cause Blue Eyes
All the lights on and you are alive
But you can't point the way to your heart
So sublime, when the stars are aligned
But you don't know
You don't know the greatness you are
'Cause Blue Eyes
You are destiny's scene
'Cause Blue Eyes
I just want to be the one
I just want to sing a song with you
I just want to get it on with you
'Cause Blue Eyes
You're the secret I keep
'Cause Blue Eyes
I just want to sing a song with you
I just want to sing a song with you
I just want to sing a song with you
Window broke, torn up screens
Who'd have thought that you'd dream
Of a single tragic scene
I just want to sing a song with you
I just want to take it off of you
'Cause Blue Eyes
You are all that I need
'Cause Blue Eyes
You're the sweet to my mean
Fess it up, dot on the palm of your hand
I can help you to stand
Saved it up for this dance
Tell me all the things you can
I just want to sing a song with you
I just want to be the one that's true
'Cause Blue Eyes
You're the secret I keep
'Cause Blue Eyes
All the lights on and you are alive
But you can't point the way to your heart
So sublime, when the stars are aligned
But you don't know
You don't know the greatness you are
'Cause Blue Eyes
You are destiny's scene
'Cause Blue Eyes
I just want to be the one
I just want to sing a song with you
I just want to get it on with you
'Cause Blue Eyes
You're the secret I keep
'Cause Blue Eyes
I just want to sing a song with you
I just want to sing a song with you
I just want to sing a song with you

I think much like another song “Anti-Matter” (that's also on the same album as this song), this one is also is inspired by a horrifying van crash the band experienced on Nov 3, 2022. This, much like the other track, sounds like it's an extension what they shared while huddled in the wreckage, as they helped frontman Garrett Russell stem the bleeding from his head wound while he was under the temporary effects of a concussion. The track speaks of where the mind goes at the most desperate & desolate of times, when it just about slips away to all but disconnect itself, and the aftermath.
Mountain Song
Jane's Addiction
Jane's Addiction
Jane's Addiction vocalist Perry Farrell gives Adam Reader some heartfelt insight into Jane’s Addiction's hard rock manifesto "Mountain Song", which was the second single from their revolutionary album Nothing's Shocking. Mountain song was first recorded in 1986 and appeared on the soundtrack to the film Dudes starring Jon Cryer. The version on Nothing's Shocking was re-recorded in 1988.
"'Mountain Song' was actually about... I hate to say it but... drugs. Climbing this mountain and getting as high as you can, and then coming down that mountain," reveals Farrell. "What it feels to descend from the mountain top... not easy at all. The ascension is tough but exhilarating. Getting down is... it's a real bummer. Drugs is not for everybody obviously. For me, I wanted to experience the heights, and the lows come along with it."
"There's a part - 'Cash in now honey, cash in Miss Smith.' Miss Smith is my Mother; our last name was Smith. Cashing in when she cashed in her life. So... she decided that, to her... at that time, she was desperate. Life wasn't worth it for her, that was her opinion. Some people think, never take your life, and some people find that their life isn't worth living. She was in love with my Dad, and my Dad was not faithful to her, and it broke her heart. She was very desperate and she did something that I know she regrets."

Ed Sheeran tells a story of unsuccessfully trying to feel “Amazing.” This track is about the being weighed down by emotional stress despite valiant attempts to find some positivity in the situation. This track was written by Ed Sheeran from the perspective of his friend. From the track, we see this person fall deeper into the negative thoughts and slide further down the path of mental torment with every lyric.

There aren’t many things that’ll hurt more than giving love a chance against your better judgement only to have your heart crushed yet again. Ed Sheeran tells such a story on “Page.” On this track, he is devastated to have lost his lover and even more saddened by the feeling that he may never move on from this.
You don’t have to have “blue”eyes to love this song. The reference to blue eyes could easily be in reference to the underlying sadness in the subject’s eyes. (Haven’t you heard the old song don’t it make my brown eyes blue? Sorry, if that Crystal Gayle reference brings up long repressed memories.) It sounds as if ‘blues eyes” has under gone a serous trauma—catch the symbolism of the pierced hand. (And yes the reference to her stigmata does fit the lyrics.) She fails to see what the singer sees in her. Moreover, he knows that whatever happened in her past has closed her off to the rest of the world. He wants to share her secret so that: “all the lights [will be] on [her] and [she will be] alive.”
YES! I was just about to post what you said. Good catch on the "blue" eyes being a reference to sadness...I don't know how I missed that.
i absolutely ADORE this song... even though it drives my belief that no one loves brown eyes... i mean, think about how different the song would be if they'd sung it for "Brown Eyes..." it just wouldn't be as good... the color blue is often associated with freedom... in that blue appears as the primary color of life... the color blue is infinite, therefore, the pursuit of this color implies a search for eternity... for freedom... brown, however, implies crap... oh well...
van morrison? brown-eyed girl?
Death cab for cutie - soul meets body <br /> "so brown eyes i hold you near, cause your the only sound i want to hear"
amazing song.
This song embodies the meaning of true love. Cary Brothers is not only attracted to "Blue Eyes" sexually but also on an emotional and spiritual level. "I just want to sing a song with you," tells us that he wants to to more that just make love to Blue Eyes. While also telling Blue Eyes, "...you don't the greatness you are" tells us that he sees what Blue Eyes can't even see in her/himself. "Tell me all the things you can," tells the listener that there is more to his love of Blue Eyes than just physical attraction, his is in love with his/her mind. Finally, "You're the secret I keep," is telling Blue Eyes that the passion between the two something that he holds close to him; something that nobody else will share or understand.
Why do they use "Blue eyes"?
Jenr404---I think they use Blue Eyes just as a a moniker or a substitute for the person's actual name.
yeah..cary brothers is definitely a good singer/songwriter...check him out along with jordan kalkofen lyrics
this is a wonderful song, it is so romantic makes me feel sad that i don't have blue eyes though.
OMG!! The first time I heard this song I thought it was incredibly sweet! I totally love it!! I love it even more because I have Blue Eyes!!! You'd have to be crazy not to love this song!
Ahahaha, I have brown eyes. I guess there's crap in my eyes. Sweet. Anyone have any idea what this line means? "Fess it up, dot on the palm of your hand." All I can think of is that maybe it's alluding to the dot scars on the palms of Christ's hands... although I can't really see how that would fit into this song.
