Lana Del Rey Watercolor Eyes

“Watercolor Eyes” is a song Lana Del Rey wrote for the soundtrack to the second season of HBO’s hit TV teen drama Euphoria. It played during the ending credits of the third episode, “Ruminations: Big and Little Bullys,” and its lyrics reference many of the relationships between the main characters.

The release of the song was hinted on January 10 by insiders and the circulation of two short snippets that were leaked. The song was first previewed in the trailer for the episode in which it was featured, and it was later confirmed by HBO via social media that the song would be released on January 21, two days prior to the episode’s premiere. Before its official release, the track was described as a “slow burn guitar track,” reminiscent to the sound of Ultraviolence.

The lyric “sweet like rock candy” caused confusion among fans, as it lead to believe that the Euphoria song is actually the same as “Rock Candy Sweet,” a track and album title that Del Rey had previously revealed and intended to use for her eight studio album. It’s speculated however that the line is only a cross-reference between both songs, and that “Rock Candy Sweet” would see a release date in the future.

Lyrics

[Verse 1]
Why you always doin’ that?
Breakin’ up with me, then makin’ up
Just to make me mad

[Pre-Chorus]
I think that you taste like rock candy
Sweet like beaches, leave me all sandy
Why do you leave me with watercolor eyes?
Young love don’t always last forever
Wild horses can’t keep us together
So what if you taste just like heaven?
That don’t make it right
Hot summer and cold watermelon
Your love stings like blood and a lemon
Why do you leave me with watercolor eyes?

[Chorus]
Watercolor eyes
Watercolor eyes
Watercolor eyes
That don’t make it right

[Verse 2]
Why you always doin’ that?
Playing guitar while I’m sleepin’
Actin’ like a brat

[Pre-Chorus]
I think that you’re sweet like rock candy
Warm like beaches that leave me sandy
Why do you leave me with watercolor eyes?
Young love don’t always last forever
Wild horses can’t keep us together
So what if you taste just like heaven?
That don’t make it right
Hot summer and cold watermelon
Your love stings like blood and a lemon
Why do you leave me with watercolor eyes?

[Chorus]
Watercolor eyes
Watercolor eyes
Watercolor eyes
That don’t make it right
Watercolor eyes
Watercolor eyes
Watercolor eyes
That don’t make it right

[Verse 3]
Why you always doin’ that?
Breakin’ up with me, then makin’ up
Just to make me mad

[Outro]
Oh-oh
Hey, hey
Why?
That don’t make it right
