Beauty Lies in the Eye
Ethereal Echoes: Sonic Youth's Enigmatic Revelations
Lyrics
There's something in the air there
There's a noticeable atmosphere or vibe present.
Makes you go insane
The atmosphere has a profound impact, driving one to madness.
Brings you back to me
It brings the listener back to the speaker.
It's been so long
There has been a significant passage of time.
All that I have to do
The only task is to continue living.
Is live along
Survival despite challenges.
It's coming coming down
Something is descending or happening intensively.
Over me
This intense occurrence is enveloping the speaker.
Do you want to see
Questioning if the listener desires to witness.
The explosions in my eye
Asking if the listener wants to witness emotional outbursts.
Do you want to see
Repetition of the desire to show emotional intensity.
The reflection of
Asking if the listener wants to see reflections of the past.
How we used to be
Reflecting on how the relationship used to be.
Beauty lies
Stating that beauty is present.
In the eyes of another's dreams
The beauty exists in the dreams of others.
Beauty lies
Reiteration of where beauty is found.
Lost in another's dream
Beauty is lost within the dreams of another person.
It's coming coming down
Repetition of the intense event occurring.
Over me
This intense event is still affecting the speaker.
Do you want to see
Questioning if the listener wants to witness again.
The explosions in my eye
Reiteration of asking to witness emotional outbursts.
Do you want to see
Repetition of asking if the listener wants to see.
The reflection of
Repetition of asking if the listener wants to see reflections.
How it used to be
Reflecting on how things used to be.
Hey baby
Addressing the listener affectionately.
Hey sweetheart
Expressing affection towards the listener.
Hey fox come here
Calling the listener with a playful term.
Hey beautiful
Expressing admiration for the listener's beauty.
Come here sugar
Inviting the listener to come closer with a sweet term.
