No Eyed Girl is the fourth track from Lemon Demon's newest album, Spirit Phone. Neil says of the track's meaning in the Spirit Phone Commentary;
"Just an intro-dimensional love story with really bad repercussions; the sort of thing that people were worried the Super Hadron Collider would unleash on the world."
The pre-chorus of the song is derived from a 2007 demo, renamed "Noeyedant" and released on Neil's Twitter on June 2nd, 2016.[1]
Lyrics
Oh, knowing what we know, knowing we don't know This is gonna change our world Feeling how I feel, I'll accept the unreal If you be my no-eyed girl from nowhere mankind can go There's too much light, blinding white Your matter tells mine to scatter It's alright, it's alright From the moment that we met I've been awake like I've never been awake in all my life If I spoke your language I could tell you how I feel But your language isn't real In every myth there's a little bit of truth But I cannot say a thing (I cannot say a thing) Without proof, oh no Knowing what we know, knowing we do not know This is gonna change our world I might go insane if I hear your full name If you be my no-eyed girl from nowhere mankind can go There's too much light, blinding white Emotions, human implosions It's alright, it's alright Right before the kiss I noticed something in the air Molecules existed when there should have been none there Chemical reactions with the surface of your skin Some will say my actions let the no-eyed people in And I'd do it all again, and I'd do it all again, and I'd do it all again
