Your heart is broken
To your surprise
You're sick of cryin'
For blue eyes
So tired of livin'
Misunderstood
Think hard woman
I think you should
Come, sorrow is so peculiar
It comes in a day, then it'll never leave you
You take a pill, wonder if it will fix you
They wonder why sorrow has never left you
I'm talkin' bout blue eyes, blue eyes
What's the matter, matter
Blue eyes, blue eyes
What's the matter matter
So blind, so blind
What's the matter, matter
Blue eyes, blue eyes
What's the matter with you?
Your heart got broken
On the underground
Go find your spirit
In a lost and found
Oh, I've been watchin'
How you behave
Not much like a lover
More like a slave
Come, sorrow is so peculiar
It comes in a day, then it'll never leave you
You take a pill, wonder if it will fix you
They wonder why sorrow has never left you
I'm talkin' bout blue eyes, blue eyes
What's the matter, matter
Blue eyes, blue eyes
What's the matter, matter
So blind, so blind
What's the matter, matter
Blue eyes, blue eyes
What's the matter with
Blue eyes, blue eyes
What's the matter matter
Blue eyes, blue eyes
What's the matter matter
So blind, so blind
What's the matter, matter
Blue eyes, blue eyes
What's the matter with you?
What's the matter with you?

I think it's about depression. "blue eyes" is like sad eyes, not necessarily a blue eyed man. "you take a pill wondering if it will fix you, then wonder why sorry has never left you" anti depressants not working?
"I've been watching how you behave, not much like a lover, more like a slave." He's noticing because her behavior is out of the ordinary, and he has to notice, he's not just watching cause he wants. Being sad over a broken heart is normal...that line differentiates it between normal breakup sadness and depression.
its actually a beautiful song, and nails ithe feeling perfectly. I love the guitar in the beginning also.
I think its about a person who is always getting hurt, heart broken. Taking pills, thinking it will help the pain go away. Sorrow keeps coming back.
noticed that "think hard women" sounds like finger a women, maybe the heartbroken women 'turned' lesbian to make her old bofo jealous
May I be dignified enough not to respond :) Obviously the blue eyes refer to being emotionally blue (down) rather than the actual color of eyes. Am guessing the song is about being depressed.
Oh...
Since you don't like blue eyes why are you here?
Ha ha ha! She can still comment can't she?
What colour are your eyes?
I dont know. Didnt think I would be. lol. Was surprised to see my shit is still active. lol.
My eyes are brown, baby. Yours?
Dark brown, but sometimes black kind of see through black, if that means something in English?
And what colour is brown baby? I am not sure what that means?
lol. They're brown. Didnt mean to confuse you.
Ha ha ha!
This is either about a troubled, heartbroken girl who is constantly hurt by but, still wants to be with a particular person who happens to have blue eyes. She continues to cry sorrowfully, take pills, and pick herself up because of this blue-eyed lover. OR this girl is feeling inadequate and wishes herself to be better for her lover. She is crying, wishing she was different (had blue eyes perhaps?) to accommodate for her insecurities.
Isn't it "your heart got broken on the underground"? I love how if you don't listen properly this sounds like a fun, upbeat kind of song but when you find out the words it's actually quite clever and beautiful.
i think that this song is about someone who takes medication for depression and expects it to fix her. but really you can't do that, because if you don't face your problems they'll never go away.
I'm talkin' bout blue eyes, blue eyes What's the matter, matter Blue eyes, blue eyes What's the matter matter so blind, so blind What's the matter, matter Blue eyes, blue eyes What's the matter with you?
i think this means that he's saying you can't see clearly through eyes clouded with sorrow. i could go more in-depth, i guess.......

@bradzrules7 or maybe she was always a lesbian, you bigot<br />
I watched an interview with Mika about this song and he said it's literally about a woman who loses her heart on the London underground rail system. He said they have a lost and found bucket for everything - a couple full of dentures even - so the woman
has to find it among all the rest of the lost and found. He also started the song with the beat of a train moving and the piano was the first notes he thought of to play over it though it's total opposite the song.
Here's the interview/explanation:

i really thought "think hard woman" actually said "finger a woman" im disappointed now.
