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
