In the past few years since the release of Bright Eyes’ fourth full-length album, Lifted or The Story Is In The Soil, Keep Your Ear To The Ground, the Bright Eyes tale has taken many unexpected twists and turns. Conor Oberst and his ever-changing line up of musical comrades appeared on “The Late Show with David Letterman,” “The Late Late Show with Craig Kilborn,” and were a prominent addition to the MTV2-televised 2003 Shortlist Awards. In October of 2004 he was invited to join Bruce Springsteen and REM on an arena tour of swing states in advance of the presidential election. His performance at those shows sealed his reputation as a creative force, able to command the attention of thousands of rock fans with, at times, just his voice and an acoustic guitar. Ove More... (Submit New Bright Eyes Lyrics) (Submit New Bright Eyes Lyrics) Review about Bright Eyes hm. | Reviewer: aidalis grotesque ------ About the song Easy/Lucky/Free performed by Bright Eyes its about a couple things. um. mainly i think its about questioning the after life and if this life is worth it. alot of this requires a backround knowledge. like 'listening to and endless static sea' is about a machine that was created to listen to tthe decised. and 'pointing guns at anything that moves' is a metaphor for punishment in freedom of speech or assasination etc; and living in a robotic society 'you better shop and eat and pro create.'....but then again what do i know. im 15. Arienette | Reviewer: Random ------ About the song Arienette performed by Bright Eyes Perhaps 'Arienette' is his symbol for the woman in his life that he loves the most. Maybe her name is not Arienette, or he hasn't found her, but he can imagine her and he gave her the name; Arienette. And maybe, this song, in a way, is describing life's hardships and the people in it. For example, 'The desperate are water'. The desperate people, meaning, and they'll 'they’ll run down forever as they soak into silence, and end up together in a dark and distant dark and distant place'. I had just heard this song for the second time, and had not analyzed it completely, but on the album 'Fever's & Mirrors' there is a 'song' titled 'An attempt to tip the scale' and in it (It's like an.. interview) the interviewer says 'who is this Arienette? What does she symbolize?' and Conor replies 'I don't want to talk about that, she might be listening' and the interviewer replies 'oh, she's real?' Conor replies 'No.' And the interviewer is kind of like.. she's made up? and Conor responds 'only as real as me and you' Or something on those lines. (Google the lyrics to get the exact words) and in this, I was like.. hey. Lets listen to that song. And.. well, that is what I think the song is about. Confubled. Conor Oberst is jesus. Sweet peanuts. <3 | Reviewer: alisha ------ About the song First Day Of My Life performed by Bright Eyes I first heard this song when I was with my ex boyfriend. he was wearing a bright eyes shirt. so I asked him about it and he told me to listen to this song.. and now I can't stop listening to it because it reminds me of all the amazing times we had together.. he sang it to me on guitar and sounds just like the band.. this song is amazing.. I love it. in my opinion... | Reviewer: Anonymous ------ About the song Lua performed by Bright Eyes i think this song is definitely about some kind of drug use, but it also relates to an extremely complicated relationship i am in. i can relate to this song ridiculously well... my best friend kissed me and we went down the path of friends with benefits. by the time a month had passed, i'd lost my virginity to him but none of our friends knew. we pretended like nothing ever changed when they were around, but as soon as we were alone, we inevitably fucked. he told me time and time again that he wasn't good at relationships; that he hated them. but i continued to pretend that he was a good boyfriend and not just a complicated friend. the song goes along with this so well because of these lines: "The love I sell you in the evening by the morning won't exist" and "And I'm not sure what the trouble was that started all of this The reasons all have run away, but the feeling never did It's not something I would recommend, but it is one way to live Cause what is simple in the moonlight by the morning never is It was so simple in the moonlight now it's so complicated" it almost makes me cry to see that someone else's words could fit to a situation in my life so well. i just don't know what to do. i love him. breakup | Reviewer: Caro ------ About the song If Winter Ends performed by Bright Eyes I think this is about a break up. Depression occurs after a tough breakup. esp when you weren't the one who got dumped and was blind sighted to the last minute. you have to fake until you make it if you aren't strong enough to make it honestly. cuz you have to get over that person in order to be happy again. you just have to or it will eat you alive and you will be your worst enemy annoyed | Reviewer: Anonymous ------ About the song Cleanse Song performed by Bright Eyes ugh! how about we leave the song as it is and not tie drugs into every thing that your twisted minds can make it refer to?! hmm, sounds good, so stop trying to break down these songs, if it doesn't make complete sense to you, it's not supposed to! and maybe you think it does, let me tell you right now, it doesn't!!! Love this song | Reviewer: Merricat ------ About the song From A Balance Beam performed by Bright Eyes To me this song is about faith; the loss of it, the emotional cost of that loss, and its subsequent, if incomplete and tenuous, recovery. This is an issue that most, if not all, of us have dealt with at one time or another. The last verse is a beautiful portrait of existential joy- I can see the colors of the trees and paint in the details. Conor Oberst is not just a songwriter but a true poet. This is what we've become. | Reviewer: Annie ------ About the song Landlocked Blues performed by Bright Eyes so i started listening to this song, and about two lyrics in i sat in complete amazement of the beauty and truth and raw emotion. as i continue to listen i realize that it is exactly what my relationship has become. i was trying so hard not to cry. then just when i thought i wouldn't cry the lyric hit me "and laura's asleep in my bed". laura is my girlfriend's name. then i cried. mm not bulimia | Reviewer: Anonymous ------ About the song Lua performed by Bright Eyes I think the message is definitely clear... but its not about bulimia its about coke... "i think you got it bad" is referring to the coke habit, skinny like a model is coke... eyes painted black... coke. not bulimia. they go to the bathroom to do the coke in private, they keep having to go back more frequently because of their tolerance. So the song is about partying and drugs. Kait | Reviewer: Kait ------ About the song At The Bottom Of Everything performed by Bright Eyes I see that someone above is wondering why someone would be happy if they weren't really anyone. I just think he says that b/c it's not important if you are someone in this world(or something important for that matter.) Like, you don't have to become 'someone' to be something in this world. You just have to be you, and live life the way it is handed to you. Just have fun, and be happy =] Yellow Bird | Reviewer: Anonymous ------ About the song Poison Oak performed by Bright Eyes Everyone is making literary references to explain the yellow bird allusion. I suppose everyone has their own interpretations as to what it means, that's what music is all about. Certainly we've all heard of "a canary in a coal mine", I interrupted it as the yellow bird being a canary, the golden guide out of the cold darkness of the coal mine that is life. MY PRINCE | Reviewer: Anonymous ------ About the song Padraic My Prince performed by Bright Eyes Conner oberst is not a genius. he feeds off his own self misery and pain to help heal his own brain. Those of you who do not suffer from this could not truly appreciate what the artist is feeling. But i do. I do. yeah | Reviewer: camila ------ About the song At The Bottom Of Everything performed by Bright Eyes nah i think this song is talking about all the things we do now a days like memorizing nine numbers(ur pin number or sumtin)and sell medicine that dosen't even work then there's the hypocracy of church stated here and there and then all you have to do is pay enough attention to every line to know he isn't talking about a birthday party or any of the sort but rather life as we know it here in america.and then when he says i found out i am really noone it's because he's noone in this world hget what i'm sayin?? yeah | Reviewer: camila ------ About the song At The Bottom Of Everything performed by Bright Eyes nah i think this song is talking about all the things we do now a days like memorizing nine numbers(ur pin number or sumtin)and sell medicine that dosen't even work then there's the hypocracy of church stated here and there and then all you have to do is pay enough attention to every line to know he isn't talking about a birthday party or any of the sort but rather life as we know it here in america. Reply to other comment. | Reviewer: Anonymous ------ About the song At The Bottom Of Everything performed by Bright Eyes It's not her birthday lol. The song highlights the disimportance of living life to expectations. "I'm happy just because I found out I am really no one." is actually one of my favourite ever lyrics lol. To me, its saying 'you know what, living life like we should ISN'T the most important thing in the world. The world is NOT revolving around me, and what i do, in the long shot, doesn't really matter. So i can just live life how i want it and see what happens' that's what it means to me. I love this song. I can't put the concepts into words though. Yellow Bird | Reviewer: Sam ------ About the song Poison Oak performed by Bright Eyes I love the album 'I'm Wide Awake it's Morning' It was a song from this album that woke me up in the middle of the night when I had the radio on.. the lines from a song on the album were 'We made love on the living room floor to the sounds of a televised war' or similar. Then hearing the reference in music with a marching band trumpet effect behind then fading back to conors words. I live in Australia and that was my enterance to his music. But of all the things said on this album, the yellow bird reference and this song stayed in my mind. It was a muse. For love, hope, loss, a beacon, idea and mantra to remember while in despair, the yellow bird is a way out, the light at the end of the tunnel of despair. the long 'waited for' way out. ...I thought as much. I wrote yellow bird into a net search and found more people discussing the same thing. But I think the yellow bird reference and the yellow bird on the embroided cover of the album are very clever and this reference seems to cut into people deep. It's nice people recognise this. No matter what your experience the happiness and hope of a your yellow bird is powerful. I had a feeling it had to be in reference to some other literature. It's clear Conor is an intelligent well read and thinking man. Cassadaga is almost on par with this record. But for me I'm Wide Awake It's Morning is an absolute stand out. - forgive the ramble. Sam Heh | Reviewer: opp ------ About the song From A Balance Beam performed by Bright Eyes Can everyone take a f'ing breath? I really like bright eyes. But stop acting as if someone killed your children. As i understood it someone thought the song was kinda emo. Fair enough. Perhaps not emo as in emotional hardcore or whatever, but conor can be quite depressing, yea. Can all conor loving fangirls just chill the fuck out? It's the internet, don't expect everyone to agree with you. Just shut up. | Reviewer: Corinne ------ About the song From A Balance Beam performed by Bright Eyes I'm on this website to read and discuss the meaning of the song, not Conor's stereotype. This song is bare and naked in all its glory sitting in front of us, but Conor is not. We are not to say whether he truly fits the stereotype of "emo" until you too, have seen and lived every second, every thought, in every pain, happiness and setting in which he himself has. You dont know him personally. He does. He can decide who and i guess, in this pathetic, shallow classification, what he is as well. Furthermore, im damn sick of hearing about how bad it is to be "emo". If it is who we are then thats it. The human mind is beautiful and so is every personality that it creates. This song on the other hand, is open for interpretation. We have access to the words and music completely, so it is open for interpretation. Though it is true that we may never see it the way Conor does, the same is true for himself; We will never know who he is even if we had been there for every minute of his life. So just shut up. Shallow...not | Reviewer: Judy ------ About the song Lover I Don't Have To Love performed by Bright Eyes If you are reading these lyrics on the most shallow level, just looking at the very exterior, yes they will seem shallow. However, if you really look and you really put all of the lyrics together it becomes something completely different. Shallow if you are looking at it on a shallow level. Open up your minds. gdhe | Reviewer: cory ------ About the song A Perfect Sonnet performed by Bright Eyes first of all a perfect sonnet and one foolish line. he's not refering to the song it's self. he's talking about life and love in general and how it's so brief. also this song has dual meaning. it seems to be about religion just as much as it love. he writes songs about his struggle with faith aswell.
