“eyesore” follows an anxious glaive’s memories of a relationship and how it will affect his future. It is the lead single from glaive’s debut EP, cypress grove, which was released on November 19, 2020.
In a November 2020 interview with The Fader glaive explains the backstory of “eyesore”:
It’s als...
[Verse 1]
I got too much on my plate
My brain all over the place
How do you look me in my face?
I know every single word that you say
Sometimes feel like my whole life's figured out
Go to school, get married, maybe buy a house
I'll have a kid or two and I hope they're proud
Of the shit we did in the here and now
[Chorus]
Guess I'm an eyesore, baby, I advise you look away
Came through the backdoor, baby, and I think we're here to stay
This shit we asked for, baby, it happenеd the other day
Think 'bout the past morе, baby, wouldn't want it no other way
Eyesore, baby, I advise you look away
Came through the backdoor, baby, and I think we're here to stay
This shit we asked for, baby, it happened the other day
Think 'bout the past more, baby, wouldn't want it no other way
[Verse 2]
And I guess that I'm a bit anxious, like constantly
And I guess that I'm a bit manic, like honestly
I play pretend like every day
I lost my friends in every way
Got red flags in every place
A pack of cigs and chardonnay
All this shit we goin' through, baby, I thought you were kiddin' me
And all the times you text my phone and told me you was missin' me
I took a step back, saw it happen, now I'm kickin' me
The silent kill in silence, swear to God that shit be killin' me
[Chorus]
Guess I'm an eyesore, baby, I advise you look away
Came through the backdoor, baby, and I think we're here to stay
This shit we asked for, baby, it happened the other day
Think 'bout the past more, baby, wouldn't want it no other way
Eyesore, baby, I advise you look away
Came through the backdoor, baby, and I think we're here to stay
This shit we asked for, baby, it happened the other day
Think 'bout the past more, baby, wouldn't want it no other way
