This simple song refers to and explores the idea that people with one eye do not have any binocular depth perception (though there are certainly monocular cues that people also use), and what the struggles of life would be for a person without that depth perception.
Cyclops Lyrics
[Verse]
Tom, the happy pretender
One eye on the menu, one eye on his watch
His parents told him
"Don't worry, Tom, there's plenty of jobs
In the big city
In the big city"
But with one eye only, it gets so hard
It gets so hard
[Chorus]
No depth perception (bom, bom)
Cyclops (bom, bom)
No depth perception (bom, bom)
Cyclops (bom, bom)
No depth perception (bom, bom)
Cyclops (bom, bom)
No depth perception (bom, bom)
Cyclops (bom, bom)
No depth perception (bom, bom)
Cyclops (bom, bom)
