Hazel Eyez

In 'Hazel Eyez,' Never Shout Never crafts a poignant narrative about the highs and lows of life, love, and self-discovery. The song opens with a plea to 'slow down,' suggesting a need for reflection and mindfulness in a fast-paced world. The lyrics 'The sky is made of me, the stars are made of you' evoke a sense of cosmic connection, emphasizing the deep bond between the narrator and the subject, whose 'hazel eyes' are a recurring motif throughout the song.

The chorus, 'I’m watching you defy gravity, your hazel eyes are slipping away,' captures the bittersweet nature of watching someone you care about strive for greatness while also feeling the distance growing between you.

Ultimately, 'Hazel Eyez' is a heartfelt exploration of love, ambition, and the inevitable challenges that come with both, urging listeners to embrace the journey with all its ups and downs.
