“yellow is the color of her eyes” is the second preview of Soccer Mommy’s second album, color theory.
The song was inspired by the terminal illness that Sophie Allison’s mother has been suffering with since Allison was a pre-teen. The color yellow is in fact a sign of physical sickness.
yellow is the color of her eyes Lyrics
[Verse 1]
The bright August sun feels like yellow
And the white of her eyes is so yellow
The tiny lie I told to myself is making me hollow
I've been choking up truths that I couldn't swallow
[Verse 2]
I'm falling apart over a memory
And the weight in my heart is getting too heavy
'Cause every word is a nail that's loosening slowly
And I can't hammer it down enough to keep holding in
[Chorus]
And I could lie
But it's never made me feel good inside
I'm still so blue
I can't erase the hue, it's just colored over
[Verse 3]
I'm thinking of her from over the ocean
See her face in the waves, her body is floating
And in her eyes, like clementines, I know that she's fading
And the light of the sun is only a daydream
[Chorus]
And I could lie
But it's never made me feel good inside
I'm still so blue
I can't erase the hue, it's just colored over
[Outro]
Loving you isn't enough
You'll still be deep in the ground when it's done
I'll know the day when it comes
I'll feel the cold as they put out my sun
Loving you isn't enough
You'll still be deep in the ground when it's done
I'll know the day when it comes
I'll feel the cold as they put out my sun

What did Soccer Mommy say about "yellow is the color of her eyes"?
It’s about feeling like you’re losing time with someone you care about, and not wanting to wake up in a couple of years and feel like you wasted the time that you had. My mom has had a terminal illness for the last 10 years, since I was 12. It was something that I always pushed to the back of my min...
What has video director Alex Ross Perry said about the music video?
The challenge of creating a seven-minute piece was daunting and irresistible in equal measure. Having just completed a film for which the color-coded design of it’s various acts was of the utmost importance, Sophie’s idea of collaborating on a short-form film to compliment her similarly-conceived ne...
What else have the artists said about this song?
I really like this one. It’s about sickness and the toll that that can take. It’s about being faced with something that is a little bit visceral even for a short, short time. Anything can happen at any second. You’re not immortal, your people die, and people get ill. At any time, things can change....
