Song Meaning
The narrator is caught in a moment of intense, almost overwhelming anticipation, staring into someone's eyes and waiting for a revelation. There's a sense of searching for answers, a desperate need to understand the 'reasons' behind something, perhaps a connection or a feeling. The repetition of "Here come here come here comes" builds a palpable tension, like a storm gathering on the horizon.
The core of the tension lies in the contrast between the intense internal focus – "stare into my eyes," "stars in her eyes" – and a profound external disconnect. The narrator identifies a "very lonely girl" but admits, "I don't know where she is," highlighting a frustrating inability to locate or perhaps even comprehend the source of this loneliness or revelation. This disconnect fuels a desperate, unfocused longing, as the narrator would "scream for days gone by / If I knew what I was screaming for."
The most striking element is the narrator's admission of not knowing the 'why' behind their own emotional state. The "revelation" is sought, but its nature remains elusive, and the potential "screaming" is for an unknown cause. This self-awareness of not knowing, of being driven by an unarticulated need, is the engine of the song's emotional weight. It’s a powerful depiction of yearning without a clear object or purpose, a raw emotional state laid bare.
