Who the heck cares about the lyrics you interpret the song the way you want to interpret the song, you put your own meaning to a song and then it becomes your song. Loved the video.
Beck makes such cool songs with such amazing lyrics.
I actually just finished making a song/video that shares a similarly darkly comedic tone as this song. I'd be really interested to hear what you think of it-- check it out on my channel! Thanks!
@Newby27 HAHA some lyrics online show 'MY SUN EYED GIRL' and I also thought he was singing 'MY SUMMER GIRL' when i first listened (they are on a beach & summer relationships are common etc.)
@TwinHeadedDragon A serial killer watching his next victim. -- (THEIR bones are bleaching) She spits on the sand where their bones are bleaching And I know I'm gonna steal her eye She doesn't even know what's wrong AND I KNOW IM GONNA MAKE HER DIE Take her where her soul belongs And I know I'm gonna steal her eye Nothing that I wouldn't try Hey, My cyanide girl I saw her, yeah I saw her with her hands tied back And her rags were burning (psychotic visions)
@kevintheshedend1976 seems to fit best with the rest of the lyrics.. but beck himself has chosen not to comment on the matter when asked directly; apparently he ad-libbed much of the song
I think it's summer. The lyrics before it go: I saw her, yea I saw her With her black tongue tied round the roses A fist pounding on a vending machine Toy diamond ring stuck on her finger With a noose she can hang from the sun And put it out with her dark sunglasses Walking crooked down the beach She spits on the sand Where their bones are bleaching Beach, sunglasses, sun, sand? I think it's summer. ;D But the world may never know! Haha
personally i don't see that any of the darker, self-destructive implications of the song are addressed by the video, starting with the fact that it's deliberately sun-eyed OR cynide girl; beck has never endorsed 'official' lyrics which reinforces my position that this ambiguity is central to the song, and the main factor in it's genius.
Apologies for dissing your video, but its a common problem with music videos that the director doesn't really gerasp the song, cf (off the top of my head) australia, by the shins; another major miscalculation of the music, though again an easy slip since the tune is perfectly cheery.
haha, thanks for the critique. But in all honestly this movie was a product of high school students suffering from senioritis and therefore we did not take the time to fully analyze the underlying themes and minutia of Beck's brilliance. If i had gone into a career of film-making i would take your constructive thoughts gladly. This being not the case, i simply say thanks for watching.

It's about a girl killing herself, right. Cyanide, noose, where her soul belongs, and bones bleaching in the sun all sounds death related.

Did you know the lyrics to this song is really about him killing a girl?
Ironic how it's upbeat and happy but that's Beck for you- but I like it.

is it really about killing a lass; thought the implications tended towards the inevitable bloody suicidal disaster of so many relationships.
