I See You
Reflections on Existence: Bonny Doon's Poignant Quest for Connection
Lyrics
A closeup on eternity
A contemplation on the vastness of time and existence
A sad pitcher in the minor leagues
A metaphorical depiction of feeling unnoticed or undervalued
Look out the window
An invitation to observe the surroundings
Do you see me?
A question about being acknowledged or recognized
Liquor store, slippery floor
Describing a setting of a store with a potentially hazardous surface
I saw my reflection in a bottle of wine
A moment of self-reflection using a bottle of wine as a mirror
Like a neon sign
Comparing the reflection to a neon sign, possibly implying a vivid or artificial appearance
Liquor in my name
Possessing alcohol with a reference to personal identity
Like a drunken call to an old flame
Drawing a parallel between drinking and reaching out to a past romantic interest
I'm broken down, I'm all lit up
Expressing emotional vulnerability and being illuminated despite feeling broken
Drinking green chartreuse from a plastic cup
Consuming a specific type of alcohol from a less conventional container
Another year's gone by
Reflecting on the passage of time with the mention of another year
Hell, I'm still alive
Acknowledging survival despite challenges
I got a couple of texts from my mom
Receiving birthday messages from a family member
One said ""Happy birthday""
A simple greeting on the occasion of a birthday
And the other one was a smiley face, a sideways heart, xoxo
Describing an affectionate and friendly message
""We miss you won't you come on home?""
An invitation or request to return home
Won't you come on home
Repetition of the plea or desire for someone to come back home
Won't you come on home
-Won't you come on home
-I see you
Expressing the act of seeing someone, possibly with emotional significance
I see you
-Oh, I see you
-Do you see me?
-I see you
Repetition of the theme of seeing and being seen, suggesting a longing for connection
I see you
-Oh, I see you
-Do you see me?
-Do you see me?
Reiteration of the question about being seen, emphasizing the desire for recognition
Do you see me?
-Do you see me?
-Do you see me?
-Do you see me?
Continued emphasis on the theme of visibility and recognition
Do you see me?
