Green Eyes, Pt. II
Eyes of Reflection: Unveiling Stories Beyond Glances
Lyrics
And I can still see the eyes
Recollection of remembering someone's eyes.
His brown eyes
Description of the person's eye color.
He was looking deeper into me than I would've liked
Feeling uncomfortable with the intensity of the gaze.
Nah I don't have any change on me man, I'm sorry
Declining a request due to not having money.
Could've made a contribution
Reflecting on missed opportunities to help.
And I can still see the eyes
Recollection of another person's eyes.
Her green eyes
Describing another person's eye color.
She was busy with her friends
Observation of someone being occupied with friends.
But I wanted her to notice me, like
Desire for attention or acknowledgment from the person.
Yo, how are you?
Casual greeting and false expression of contentment.
Yeah nah, I've never been more content
Stating false contentment, avoiding honesty.
Could've told her the truth
Regret about not being truthful in communication.
And I can still see the eyes
Recollection of yet another person's eyes.
The red eyes of those around me
Observing the tired or strained eyes of others.
They like doing it
Enjoying certain activities despite their consequences.
And wish to grow into the shoes of their idols
Desire to emulate admired individuals.
What nah nah it's cool man
Declining an offer politely.
It's really, it's not me but
Expressing gratitude but refusing assistance.
Thanks anyway
Reflecting on potential missed opportunities for enjoyment.
Could've had a fun night
-And I can still see the eyes
Recollection of someone's eyes once more.
His brown eyes
Describing the eye color of yet another person.
He was looking deeper into me than I would've liked
Feeling uncomfortable with the intensity of the gaze.
And I don't have any change on me man, I'm sorry
Declining a request due to not having money.
But I should've given him the coins in my pockets
Regret about not helping someone in need.
Could've stopped and opened my wallet
Regret about not offering more substantial assistance.
Should've done what's right because he wants it
Feeling guilty for not doing the morally right thing.
But who doesn't want it
Questioning human desires and motives.
See money is the only motive
Recognizing the influence of money on people's actions.
But money is a sin and I loath it
Expressing disdain for money due to its ethical implications.
The reason we're waiting for something
Questioning the purpose of waiting or anticipating something.
The only reason why people are hungry, child
Implying poverty as a cause of hunger.
People are hungry now
Highlighting the prevalence of hunger in society.
Money, the reason that we can't make money
Money being an obstacle to making more money.
The reason why a prick is running the country
Criticizing the leadership of the country.
No matter when you hear this note
Assertion about continuous existence of inadequate leadership.
There's always gonna be a prick running this country
Reiterating skepticism about political leadership.
But you better get your votes in
Encouraging participation in the voting process.
(Let's get your votes in)
Encouragement to cast votes.
Best get your votes in
Reiteration of the importance of voting.
Because
Implying the importance of making informed decisions.
They know best
Implying skepticism toward those in power.
