Yellow Eyes
Yellow Eyes' Silent Echo: A Tale of Solitude and Unspoken Words
Lyrics
What did you do with those yellow eyes
Questioning the fate or actions associated with the yellow eyes.
The ones that used to shine so bright
Reflecting on the past brightness of the yellow eyes, comparing them to shining stars.
Like stars, the rulers of the night
Metaphorically describing the yellow eyes as stars, symbolizing rulership of the night.
And all your friends, they realigned
Noting changes in relationships, friends adapting to the necessary transformations.
For the change, it had to come
Acknowledging the inevitability of change, with darkness losing its impact.
The dark was getting kinda numb
Describing the numbness associated with the diminishing darkness.
Is it still
Possibly questioning the persistence of the described numbness.
But the world left you behind
Feeling left behind by the world, drawing a comparison to an unused telephone.
Like a telephone with an empty line
Continuing the metaphor of an unused telephone line, emphasizing isolation.
And the buzzing is all you can hear
Describing a persistent buzzing sound as a manifestation of isolation.
And they said you went away
Indicating that others have mentioned the subject's departure.
Said you didn't wanna stay
Expressing that the departure was a choice, not a desire to remain.
But those yellow eyes
Contradicting the idea of departure through the persistence of the yellow eyes.
Say otherwise
Highlighting the eyes as a more truthful indicator than words.
You get used to being alone
Adapting to solitude but still yearning for connection, reaching out metaphorically.
But you're still reaching for that phone
Continuing the theme of seeking connection, facing difficulty expressing oneself.
But the words, they never seem to flow
Expressing the challenge of communicating effectively.
And where they went, you'll never know
Expressing uncertainty about the destination of words and thoughts.
'Cause it's a game of touch and go
Comparing interpersonal dynamics to a touch-and-go game, with an uncertain outcome.
But the runway's covered in snow
Metaphorically describing obstacles (snow) on the runway of life.
Is it still
Possibly questioning the persistence of obstacles or challenges.
And the world left you behind
Reiteration of feeling left behind by the world, using the telephone metaphor.
Like a telephone with an empty line
Continuation of the metaphor, emphasizing the emptiness of the line.
And the buzzing is all you can hear
Highlighting the persistent buzzing sound, symbolizing loneliness.
Well, they said you went away
Reiterating that others have mentioned the subject's departure.
Said you didn't wanna stay
Reiterating that the departure was a choice, not a desire to stay.
But those yellow eyes
Reaffirming the contradiction between departure and the persistence of yellow eyes.
Say otherwise
Emphasizing the truthfulness of the yellow eyes over verbal statements.
And Jesus, he is all that's in your head
Mentioning the dominance of thoughts about Jesus and unanswered prayers.
With all the prayers he hasn't answered yet
Reflecting on unfulfilled prayers, possibly implying a sense of abandonment.
Does it get cold in your single bed
Asking about the emotional state in a solitary bed, implying a sense of isolation.
Is it still
Possibly questioning the persistence of the described emotional state.
