Black Eyes
Elevated Realities: Exploring Urban Dreams and Inner Demons
Lyrics
What are we doing tonight
Expressing curiosity about the evening's plans.
I got itch
Feeling a strong desire or urge.
I got a bite
Experiencing a reaction, possibly from a bug bite.
I'm gonna scratch until it bleeds
Intending to alleviate discomfort by scratching.
Running free in an open field
Describing a sense of freedom in an open space.
But we're stuck in a dirty city
Contrasting the desire for freedom with the reality of being in a polluted city.
Is this real or half asleep
Questioning the reality of the current situation, possibly feeling dreamlike or disoriented.
When you're high
Describing altered perception, potentially from substance use.
Your black eyes are like mine
Noting a similarity in appearance between one's own and someone else's eyes when under the influence.
Bleeding all the time
Highlighting a recurring state of vulnerability or emotional bleeding while intoxicated.
When you're high
Reiterating the impact of substances on one's perception and emotions.
Sawing logs all day long
Engaging in a metaphorical representation of rest or relaxation.
Until the sun goes down again
Describing a cycle of rest and waking, possibly influenced by substances.
Sweat dripping down your face
Depicting physical exertion leading to excessive sweating.
I think it's gonna fall off
Expressing concern about the intensity of physical activity.
And leave a frown upside down
Suggesting a potential shift from happiness to sadness.
The lights are blinding our eyes
Referring to the blinding effect of bright lights.
But they're all shut down
Noting the cessation of external stimuli, possibly symbolizing withdrawal or isolation.
Rest your mind on the ground
Encouraging mental grounding, possibly through introspection or mindfulness.
When you're high
Repeating the impact of altered perception on the appearance of one's eyes.
Your black eyes are like mine
Reiterating the theme of emotional vulnerability and bleeding while under the influence.
Bleeding all the time
Emphasizing the recurring nature of emotional distress during altered states.
When you're high
Echoing the impact of substances on daily activities and rest.
Sawing logs all day long
Continuing the metaphor of rest during the day, influenced by substances.
Until the sun goes down
Describing a cycle of altered perception and rest until the evening.
When you're high
Repeating the comparison of one's eyes to those of someone else while high.
Your black eyes are like mine
Restating the theme of emotional vulnerability and bleeding during altered states.
Bleeding all the time
Reiterating the persistence of emotional distress while under the influence.
When you're high
Continuing the theme of altered perception affecting emotions and well-being.
Sawing logs all day long
Persisting with the metaphor of rest during the day, influenced by substances.
Until the sun goes down again
Concluding the cycle of altered perception and rest until the evening.
