Making Eyes
Faking Eyes: A Tale of Heartbreak and Deception
Lyrics
""She's giving everyone affection in this bar room
She is openly displaying affection to everyone in the bar.
And that's the way that it has always been
Describes a consistent pattern of her behavior.
And I'm perched upon a stool
The speaker is observing the situation while seated on a stool.
Always taken for a fool
Expressing a feeling of being consistently taken advantage of or deceived.
And she's out there on the dancefloor
She is actively dancing on the dancefloor.
Making eyes again
She is making romantic or flirtatious eye contact with others.
Now these hands that used to hold her
The speaker's hands used to hold her, but now they only hold an empty glass.
Just hold this empty glass
Symbolizes the emptiness or loss in the speaker's life.
She's got those faking eyes
Describes her eyes as deceitful or insincere.
Heartbreaking eyes
Her eyes can cause heartbreak or emotional pain.
Those deep dark making eyes
Emphasizes the intense and alluring nature of her eyes.
They never last
Suggests that the impact of her eyes is temporary.
And, buddy, soon you'll be sitting here beside me
Anticipating that someone else will experience a similar situation.
Nursing on a double glass of gin
Implies the use of alcohol to cope with emotional pain.
And I hope you get your fun
Hopes the person enjoys themselves before facing a similar fate.
'Cause soon the day will come
Forewarning that the person will also be deceived by her.
When she'll be out there on the dancefloor
She will be back on the dancefloor making eyes at someone new.
Just a-making eyes again
Reiterating the cyclical nature of her behavior.
She'll walk in the door
Describes her entrance into the scene.
And start making eyes again
She resumes making flirtatious eye contact with others.
And then you'll die a little more
Anticipating the emotional impact on the observer when she connects with someone else.
When she finds another friend
Expectation of her finding a new companion.
Don't say I didn't warn you
A warning to be prepared for the consequences of her actions.
When it finally comes to pass
When the warned event happens, emphasizing the inevitability.
She's got those faking eyes
Reiteration of her deceptive eyes.
Heartbreaking eyes
Highlighting the emotional pain caused by her eyes.
Those deep dark making eyes
Reemphasizing the intense and captivating quality of her eyes.
They never last
Reaffirming the temporary nature of the impact.
They never last""
Stressing that the allure of her eyes doesn't last.
