Rhinestone Eyes Lyrics

I'm a scary gargoyle on a tower
That you made with plastic power
Your rhinestone eyes are like factories far away

Where the paralytic dreams that we all seem to keep
Drive on engines 'til they weep
With future pixels in factories far away

So call the mainland from the beach
All parties now washed up in bleach
The waves are rising for this time of year
And nobody knows what to do with the heat
Under sunshine pylons we'll meet while rain is falling like rhinestones from the sky

I got a feeling now my heart is frozen
All the verses and the corrosion
Have been after native in my soul
I prayed on the immovable
Yeah, clinging to the atoms of rock
Seasons the adjustments, signs of change
I can't see now she said, "Taxi"
Now that light is all I can take
The storm bring strange loyalties and skies

I'm a scary gargoyle on a tower
That you made with plastic power
Your rhinestone eyes are like factories far away
(Here we go again)
(That's electric)

(That's electric)
Helicopters fly over the beach
Same time everyday, same routine
Clear target in summer when skies are blue
It's part of the noise when winter comes
It reverberates in my lungs
Nature's corrupted in factories far away (here we go again) (that's electric)

Your love's like rhinestones, falling from the sky (that's electric)
With future pixels in factories far away (that's electric)
Your love's like rhinestones, falling from the sky (that's electric)
With future pixels in factories far away (here we go again)

What is the Meaning of Rhinestone Eyes?

This haunting track paints a vivid picture of a world corrupted by industrialization and environmental degradation. The protagonist, likened to a "scary gargoyle", watches over this dystopian landscape, observing the effects of human-made 'plastic power'. The recurring imagery of 'rhinestone eyes' and 'factories far away' suggest the allure and destructive impact of relentless consumerism. The lyrics also hint at climate change with references to rising waves and unseasonable heat. Despite these bleak realities, there is an undercurrent of resilience as the song alludes to adaptation ('seasons the adjustments') and hope for love in this challenging environment. In essence, it's a poignant commentary on modern society's unsustainable practices and their consequences. #Industrialization #EnvironmentalDegradation #Consumerism #ClimateChange
