This video is the audio track for Yebba's song "Yellow Eyes." The lyrics describe a reflective and somewhat melancholic mood, touching on themes of survival, change, and lingering feelings about the past. The song explores the idea of a place feeling like "home" even when "unfurnished," and the struggle to move on from previous experiences.
The primary themes present in Yebba's "Yellow Eyes" (0:10-2:34) include:
Nostalgia and the Past: The lyrics repeatedly hint at a longing for what was, with lines like "I still like it the way that it was" (1:47) and "it seems like we’ve been here before" (0:51).
Change and Transition: Phrases such as "Temperature change" (0:27) and the speaker being "jealous about movin on" (1:00) suggest a period of significant personal or environmental shift.
Resilience and Survival: The opening lines "How many more will it take to survive" (0:18) set a tone of enduring hardship and the constant effort required to get by.
Loss and Detachment: The difficulty in connecting ("We couldn't find anyone the whole way anymore. But tell us" (1:18)) and the presence of "trophies... still on the floor" (1:29) convey a sense of something important having been lost or left behind.
The Concept of "Home": Despite being "unfurnished," a place "felt like a home" (0:47), indicating that comfort and belonging can be found in unexpected or incomplete circumstances, even as the speaker struggles with returning ("Oh no. come around anymore" (0:56)).
