this song is from The Postal Service,called "such great heights"
i just don't understand what the first sentence of this song are talking about,"i am thingking it's a sign that the freckles in your eyes are mirror images and when we kiss they're perfectly aligned"
maybe is a stupid question,but i just really wanna figure it out:)

To be honest, it is just romantic nonsense ie We fit together like we were meant to be.

freckes: reflecting in each other's eyes as they get up close. Who knows !!!

Do you really want to go there?



The Postal Service: 'Such Great Heights'

I am thinking it's a sign
that the freckles in our eyes are mirror images
and when we kiss they're perfectly aligned
And I have to speculate
that God himself did make
us into corresponding shapes
like puzzle pieces from the clay

It's true, it may seem like a stretch
but its thoughts like this that catch
my troubled head when you're away
when I am missing you to death
when you are out there on the road
for several weeks of shows
and when you scan the radio
I hope this song will guide you home

they will see us waving from such great heights,
"come down now", they'll say
but everything looks perfect from far away,
"come down now", but we'll stay...

I tried my best to leave
this all on your machine
but the persistent beat it sounded thin
upon listening
and that frankly will not fly
you will hear the shrillest highs
and lowest lows with the windows down
when this is guiding you home

they will see us waving from such great
heights,
"come down now", they'll say
but everything looks perfect from far away
"come down now", but we'll stay...

Look closely at your eyes in a mirror; they have little speckles of color in them. I wouldn't call them freckles myself, since I usually think of freckles as being only on skin, but ... go with it.

What this songwriter is saying is that the speckles in his eyes are the mirror image of the ones in her eyes and they line up perfectly when they're facing each other ... so, what Robin was saying: that the two people in question are a perfect match. It's silly and romantic and highly unlikely to be literally true.

i am utterly tired of all these people thinking that they can use this discussion forum for their own personal needs........if i did not know any better i would first consider to do some backgrounf check and first find out what this site is used for and can help you with.

Uh, Campbell, that's EXACTLY what this forum is for -- to hash out the minutiae of English usages and idioms for people who are learning the language and don't quite "get" every saying or nuance.
