Innocent Eyes
Echoes of Love's Complexity in 'Innocent Eyes'
Lyrics
I go out walking see and a man and a woman
I observe a man and a woman walking, sharing laughter and conversation as if love is a new experience.
Laughing and a talking as if all love was something new
They act as if love is a novel and fresh concept, disregarding its age-old nature filled with mystery, beauty, and misery.
That age-old mystery, beauty and misery
Referring to the enduring duality of love, expressing hope that their hearts are free and pure enough to navigate through challenges.
I hope their hearts are free, and pure enough to pull em thru
An aspiration for the couple's enduring purity and freedom in their hearts to overcome trials.
I remember the love and sweethearts touch
Recollection of love and the tender touch of a sweetheart, recalling the physical sensations and emotions.
And the tremble in her thighs
The memory includes the sensation of trembling in her thighs, evoking a vivid recollection of physical intimacy.
I can picture us still on the side of a hill
An imagined scene of being together on a hill with a warm wind blowing through the pines, suggesting a serene and romantic moment.
And the warm wind through the pines
Continuation of the idyllic imagery, emphasizing the connection with nature and a sense of tranquility.
We will never again see thru innocent eyes
Expressing a realization that they will never experience the world with the same innocence and purity as before.
Sometimes I wander, down along the water
Describing moments of wandering near the water, entering a smoky bar filled with broken dreams.
Take the place at the window of a bar, full of smoke and broken dreams
Choosing a seat by the window, reflecting on life's challenges and unfulfilled aspirations.
I tried to make mine, strong and straight line
An attempt to lead a straightforward life, but facing unexpected turns and deviations from the intended path.
But I drew a curved line, and nothing the way it seems
Acknowledging the discrepancy between intended and actual outcomes, realizing that life is not as it appears.
When the sun goes down, and the moon rolls around
Describing the transition from day to night, with celestial bodies in the sky, possibly symbolizing the passage of time.
And the stars hang in the sky
Suggesting that the beauty of the night is an illusion created by strings and mirrors, questioning the path back to paradise.
Well, it must be strings and mirrors and things
Alluding to the artificiality of the perceived beauty and joy on the journey back to paradise.
On the way back to paradise
Continuation of skepticism about the return to paradise, expressing the loss of innocence and clarity.
We will never again, see through innocent eyes
Reiterating the realization that they will never see the world with innocent eyes again.
I remember when we could see through innocent eyes
A nostalgic recollection of a time when they could perceive the world with innocence.
Now a bar is closing there's a kind eyed woman
Describing the closing of a bar and the presence of a kind-eyed woman, suggesting a moment of reflection and connection.
And we're both a little lonesome from this going from day to day
Both individuals feeling a sense of loneliness as they navigate through the routine of day-to-day life.
We go out walking two o'clock in the mornin'
Going for a walk at two in the morning, emphasizing the silence and lack of meaningful conversation.
We don't do much talking, no, there ain't that much to say
Acknowledging the absence of substantial communication, indicating a mutual understanding of the limitations in their relationship.
You can tell she heard too many words promises and lies
Anticipating that whatever they discover or experience together tonight has already come at a cost.
And whatever we find together tonight we have already paid the price
Reiterating the irreversible loss of innocence in their eyes, emphasizing the impact of past experiences on their perception.
We will never again see innocent eyes, eyes
A reflection on the inability to return to a state of innocence, underscoring the lasting consequences of their journey.
I remember when we could see through innocent eyes
A final reminiscence of a time when they could view the world through innocent eyes, highlighting the theme of nostalgia and change.
