Singalong! Naked Eye by Luscious Jackson

I loved this song so much as a teenager! Also, I didn't really know what it was about, and I still don't. Except maybe just an ode to the joy of being naked? Or is it supposed to be a metaphor for seeing everything clearly? Like, when your eyes are naked, and not covered by lies, it is pretty great?

NAKED EYE

by Luscious Jackson

Wearing nothing is Divine

Naked is a state of mind

I take things off to clear my head

To say the things I haven't said

Live inside the elements

The earth and sky are my best friends

Water is the evidence

That washes me from end to end

With my naked eye

I saw all the falling rain

Coming down on me

With my naked eye

I saw all

If I said it all, I could see

It's not a choice I tried to make

It's not a thought I couldn't take

Something told me it was time

To give you yours and leave me mine

My vision started to be clear

I watched the sunlight coming near

I knew the day I knew the night

I knew I could regain my sight

And it feels alright

And it feels alright

(It feels alright)

With my naked eye

I saw all the falling rain

Coming down on me

(It feels alright)

With my naked eye

I saw all

If I said it all, I could see

[repeat]

Last night I came into your home

To break some ice and throw some stones

I asked if we could be alone

I had some troubles of my own

Knew I had to say goodbye

To all the old things held inside

If I let the moment fly

I knew they'd all be magnified

And it feels alright

And it feels alright

Came around after dark

You are nothing but a lark

Know I snuck in like a narc

I knew I had to leave my mark

Wanted to be satisfied

I tried to be dignified

Wearing nothing is Divine

Naked is a state of mind

And it feels alright

And it feels alright

(It feels alright)

With my naked eye

I saw all the falling rain

Coming down on me

(It feels alright)

With my naked eye

I saw all

If I said it all, I could see

[repeat]

It feels alright, it feels alright

It feels alright, it feels alright
