Pictures of Matchstick Men
Matchstick Dreams: A Psychedelic Journey of Love and Longing
Lyrics
When I look up to the sky
Reflecting on the sky, the singer begins observing.
I see your eyes, a funny kind of yellow
Describes the eyes as a unique shade of yellow.
I rush home to bed, I sunk my head
Hurries home to sleep, troubled by thoughts.
I see your face underneath my pillow
Visualizes the person's face hauntingly even under the pillow.
I wake next morning, tired, still yawning
Next morning, fatigued, still haunted by the mental image.
See your face come peeping through my window
Face continues to intrude, peeping through the window.
Pictures of matchstick men and you
Repetition of the fixation on images of matchstick men and the person.
Images of matchstick men and you
-All I ever see is them and you
-Windows echo your reflection
Windows reflect the person's image.
When I look in their direction, gone
Reflection disappears, possibly indicating emotional distance.
When will this haunting stop?
Questioning when the haunting thoughts will cease.
Your face, it just won't leave me alone
The person's face lingers, causing distress.
Pictures of matchstick men and you
Reiteration of the persistent mental imagery.
Images of matchstick men and you
-All I ever see is them and you
-You in the sky, you with this guy
Expresses emotional pain, implying betrayal and lies.
You make me cry, you lie
-You in the sky, you with this guy
-You make me cry, you lie
-Pictures of matchstick men
Final repetition of the haunting images of matchstick men.
Pictures of matchstick men
-Pictures of matchstick men
-Pictures of matchstick men
