Guys stop arguing about the lyrics, they're ambiguous on purpose (hint : the theme of the vid is fold-ins) plus it don't matter what beck is singing...
it's how he sings it that makes the difference, in my humble opinion one of the last true (to himself) songwriters/singers
I think he goes back from " cyanide " to " sun-eyed " when he's performing live and stuff. in the lyrics book in the guero album it says " my ... girl " so he wants to keep it a secret i guess.
but i think cyanide makes more sense because in the song it sounds like he wants to kill this girl.
Frankly, how you hear it I believe says more about you than Beck. Most likely Beck made the lyrics ambiguous on purpose. The jacket says 'My ......Girl" (hint hint, SKs out there)
i think its sun-eyed cuz he says with a noose she can hang from the sun , then put it out with her dark sunglasses.. so if it is sun eyed it kinda makes sense puting out your eyes with sun glasses?... i dunno lol
And it also says 'I know I'm gonna steal her eye'....so sun-eyed makes even more sense.....I really don't think he's saying 'summer'.....I guess the only way to really know is if someone asked him.....I don't see that happening...

I dont know why my gf likes this music lol
She loves this kinda stuff so im giving it a try, But i just cant get into to it fully and the lyrics confuse me. (listend to only 2 songs so far) But this stuff is light and softer so i see how thats good. Just pointing it out
The only reason (other than the fact that Beck wrote it this way) that I think the lyrics confuse you is because love is unclear itself. Whats the subject of the song? A person he loves.
Nop, the lyrics are actually quite clear. THe man singin wants to kill the girl he's looking at the vending machine. He's giving all these images of her dying.
And put it out with her dark sunglasses," The whole song is something hidden within something else. The song seems really up, but when you listen to the lyrics, it's actually quite gruesome.
Sounds like "sun-eyed girl" to me.

My mom, who introduced me to Beck, and I had a big argument because I thought he said my, "My one eyed girl." Since, you know he took her eye.

My first impression was this:
And I know I'm gonna steal a ride
She doesn't even know what's wrong
And I know I'm gonna make it right
Take her where the soul belongs
And I know I'm gonna steal a ride
Nothing that I wouldn't try
Hey, my Southern girl
Hey, my Southern girl
