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 Metaphor | Reviewer: Anonymous ------ About the song Lua performed by Bright Eyes This song could be thought of as a metaphor for our addiction to the material world and our self-images and our rejection of love. Night is a time of self-hate, ego, selfish feelings. Day is knowing the truth. What we do in the night time by day "looks like shit"-- whether it be wearing masks, being "complicated", or taking the "drugs" of the material world, what we do when we are not "conscious" is a violation of what we know to be right and true. This man is talking to his true love. By another token, this is a song about a man who's found his true love but can't bring himself around to believing in it. This interpretation doesn't hold up for as many of the lyrics but I still like it. meaning | Reviewer: Amber ------ About the song Lua performed by Bright Eyes my class and I really scrutinized this song and we got the interpretation that the singer is seeing how a girl is going through a really hard time and she's beating up her body (being bulimic, drugs, alcohol, sex, etc) and the singer himself has gone through something similar (referring to the line "it takes one to know one kid") and although he's not 100% out of the dark of his time yet, he understands the struggle and wants to help this girl before she gets way too bad or kills herself from drugs and alcohol, etc. ("We might die from medication, but we sure killed all the pain") i think it's beautifully written although the message is very heavy. the melody and the way it's written helps to kind of cushion the message but it still comes across strong. that's my interpretation. what??? | Reviewer: naomi ------ About the song June On The West Coast performed by Bright Eyes this song was on the radio?!?! to have any bright eyes song on the radio is amazing, but to have one of his very unknown ones...well that's a miracle. kay i love this song, its quite different from others he's done but i still like it. A bit Juno actually. Well actually... | Reviewer: Anonymous ------ About the song Cleanse Song performed by Bright Eyes It seems to me to be about cleansing in a more general sense. "Of a millstone house in a seaside town When your heart gave out in a mission bed So your wife gave birth to a funeral dirge You woke up purged as a wailing infant In Krug Thep, Thailand" "And if life seems absurd what you need is some laughter" These quotes seem to have little to do with drug addiction, that's just another example in the song of a person who is attemption to cleanse themselves. It's about the notion that no matter where you are, you can always begin aknew. It's also about perspective, about realizing that even though you've become so wrapped in in what you've become, that in the grand scheme of things these don't mean very much: Hear the chimes, did you know that the wind when it blows It is older than Rome and our joy and our sorrow Amazing | Reviewer: Michelle ------ About the song Easy/Lucky/Free performed by Bright Eyes I've been listening to this song for years, and I love this song. I think the lyrics are so beautiful and so honest. This is my favorite song that Conor has written, because it makes me stronger everytime I listen to it. SF | Reviewer: X( ------ About the song First Day Of My Life performed by Bright Eyes I love this song. Its just fantastic. And completley real. Its just real. I cant help but relate to this.. My friend/Ex boyfriend ment everything to me. I never told him that either. Well, we were so cool last year then he changed. He started doing all these different kinda drugs. He became all the things i hate. And he wasnt the same person i knew. Then he dropped out of school. And i cried every single night after he did that. He started selling drugs out on the street. I miss him. I couldnt stand it. I knew that the one person i believed in more than anything, was gone. I was the one person who actually gave a fuck about him. I cared more than i cared about anything else. Everyone at school and in his life, litterally hated him. He was a jackass. He talked too much shit, and he even said a few things about me aswell. I dont know what to do. I MISS HIM. I just wanna save him.... Kinda like he saved me once... gotta hand it | Reviewer: Anonymous ------ About the song Take it Easy (Love Nothing) performed by Bright Eyes I have to hand it to my gf Katie, she introduced me to Bright Eyes, and I was always the type to listen to the beat before the lyrics, but the lyrics to this song make me wonder what I miss out on. It's so easy to relate to the lyrics of this song, and as I told her, I tell anyone who reads this now, Bright Eyes has became one of my new favorite bands. if you walk away, i'll walk away | Reviewer: Anonymous ------ About the song One Foot In Front Of The Other performed by Bright Eyes Beautiful song. Personally, I prefer "One Foot In Front Of The Other" over "Land Locked Blues" It's just more suited to my taste. Conor Oberst is an amazingly talented lyricist. And this song is so relate-able. Walking away is difficult to do, but sometimes very necessary. sends chills down my spine. | Reviewer: Anonymous ------ About the song Neely O'Hara performed by Bright Eyes neely o'hara is a character in the film ''valley of the dolls'' i think. and she basically has a pill/alcohol addiction. great song though, i can also see how some people think it relates to an eating disorder. Complications | Reviewer: Dallin ------ About the song Lua performed by Bright Eyes This song can be interpreted in many ways. But my interpetation is a relationship that was simple, loving, and pure. The love they shared numbed the lonliness they might have felt at one point in their lives. The connection between them had to be broken at some point due to problems beyond their control. The writer is now contemplating the future and past during his last moments with his love. The way things were and now will be without the writer's love. I've listened to this song ten times in a row now... Kyle | Reviewer: caitlin ------ About the song Lover I Don't Have To Love performed by Bright Eyes I always saw that line as just expressing the tendency he has to choose other people who are hurting as badly as him, needing any sort of acknowledgement they can get. The verses that follow sort of explain that point... "Said I liked your shoes, you said 'thanks, can I follow you'" She didn't want to give her name, didn't 'care to know who had been you before.' The song has such a desperate feeling. And I think the "I want a boy who's so drunk he doesn't talk" merely refers to his confusion and desperation And since then I've been so good at vanishing. | Reviewer: Ed ------ About the song Take it Easy (Love Nothing) performed by Bright Eyes I love the way this song transforms. The lyrics tell the story of young friends who try to be something more. They fool around and the girl realizes that her friend will never be more than the sweet kid she'd known for so long, she won't ever be able to see him as anything but a little boy. She doesn't want to hurt him so she tells him to forget the whole ordeal, to pretend it never happened and to go back to being friends, but this kills him. He becomes bitter and hurt and in the end, refuses to ever really love anyone again. Padraic | Reviewer: Psycho ------ About the song Padraic My Prince performed by Bright Eyes You have no idea whether he is in pain or not. What you say could be true or the furthest thing from the truth. I don't write often, but when I do it's about things that have happened in my life. Even when a writer creates a story they generally take something from their real life. Whether you be a fan who idolizes him and thinks you know everything or you just wish to insult him maybe you should realize you do not know him. None of us do. Amazing | Reviewer: m ------ About the song Let's Not Shit Ourselves (To Love And Be Loved) performed by Bright Eyes Here's the thing that really gets me about this song. Almost the entire song, he sings about almost nothing except what's wrong with the world, tearing things apart from limb to limb. The world seems like a horrible place. And then at the end, he somehow turns it into an amazing sense of cautious hope. Even in this awful, fucked up world, there's love, and that can redeem the whole mess. One of the most inspirational songs I've ever heard. I have a couple questions... | Reviewer: Kyle Martin ------ About the song Lover I Don't Have To Love performed by Bright Eyes I don't think this line is shallow, but I am confused at when he says that " I picked you out of a crowd" is he talking about because he is famous he can just pick anyone? and when he says "I want a boy who's so drunk he doesn't talk", is he bi? or what is he talking about??? what? | Reviewer: Derek ------ About the song Perfect Sonnet performed by Bright Eyes The only comment I read that was even remotely good was the guy that told everyone to quit over analyzing what the fucking song is about, I agree with everything you said. People are so damn dumb sometimes. no. | Reviewer: Anonymous ------ About the song No Lies, Just Love performed by Bright Eyes Bright eyes. My saviours, i would be lost without you. Your music captures me, when i listen to it i'm hooked. My emotions and feelings pour out, I'm weak to this music in a way that makes me strong. you give me hope, theres never an end to bad things but theres always a start to the new things. Thank you. truely Peace, Bi*ch! | Reviewer: Luke ------ About the song Cleanse Song performed by Bright Eyes I gotta say my part. If it's called "Cleanse song" then it's not about DOING drugs. And who says that it's about drugs? I'd take a break from LIFE if I could, I dunno, maybe take off to Los Angeles. Maybe he's talkin about taking a break from being wasteful, or breaking away from the self centered mind set we're so prone to having. This song kinda makes me think green. And I'm not even the stereotype Granola that might listen to Conor Oberst. As far as the fruit thing goes, it was a good attempt at interpretation, MY interpretation is that he's singing about how you look at life. Saying, it can be good, but only if you allow it to be. (That kinda thing Just me though, I guess. mmmm | Reviewer: Anonymous ------ About the song Gold Mine Gutted performed by Bright Eyes or you coulcd think about "lagged behind so you got ahead" as him being real into the drugs and she was moving on with her life so she got away ( in a positive way)... but i dont know ...he's a genuis cause the double meanings he uses in his songs cause your own experiences to create how you interpret them Also | Reviewer: Neek ------ About the song Easy/Lucky/Free performed by Bright Eyes Agreed. This song is about death. Nothing is as easy as death, nothing will set you free like death, and we can only be so lucky as to die. To get into what is next. What that is, no one is for sure. Heaven, a forever dream, nothingness. whatever the case. I talked to conor at a show, and this is the answer he gave me.
