The meaning of the lyrics of the song "Polygraph Eyes" by the artist "YUNGBLUD"

Contents

English:

YUNGBLUD's song "Polygraph Eyes" explores the grim reality of sexual assault and how societal prejudices often blame the victim rather than the perpetrator.

The song opens with a typical Friday night scene: a girl escapes her routine, hangs out with a friend, dances, and has a few drinks. However, the mood shifts as the lyrics describe the predatory behavior of men who see a drunk girl as an opportunity. As the song progresses, we witness the aftermath: the girl wakes up in a strange room, feeling lost and violated. She is forced to conceal what happened, enduring the humiliating process of a medical examination.

The most horrifying aspect is that her own boyfriend, instead of offering support, accuses her based on preconceived notions. He refuses to listen to her explanations, labeling her a "slut."

The recurring refrain "Don't touch her, mate, she doesn't want to go home with you" is not just a plea, it's a cry for understanding and respect for women. The author draws a parallel between the victim's inability to resist while intoxicated and a state where "she can't even run... can't even speak."

"Polygraph Eyes" is a song of accusation, a song of warning, urging listeners to reflect on the issue of assault and change their attitudes towards victims.

She leaves her parents house around midnight

Meets her best mate at the shop buy some cheap wine

And go to space

See the Milky Way

Get away from the teenage everyday cliche pressure

Absent on absinthe, dancing to bad synths

Saturday night ain't about romancing anymore

Just you getting lit in the queue to the dance floor

Too many blokes are getting heavy

When a girl looks unsteady

Blisters on your bleeding soles

"Here have my boots, I'll walk you home"

He walks her straight up to the front door

As she stumbles on the floor

We all know what happens next

A bit of fun turns to regret

Leave it alone mate, she doesn't want to go home with ya

Home with ya, no

Leave it alone mate, she doesn't want to go home with ya

Home with ya

Leave it alone mate, she doesn't want to go home with ya

Home with ya, no

Leave it alone mate

Leave it alone mate

Leave it alone mate

Daylight wakes her up the next morning

A foreign room where the sheets are blue, and not white

No scented candles in sight

Just a stranger on his side

Says "Cheers love for last night"

Got to go forensic

Avoid the domestic

Get antiseptic

And give him the polygraph eyes

Turn your head to the side and lie to the real life

See this girl, she had a boyfriend

His name was Zach and he made her happy

But he couldn't understand

In his mind she was a slag

(A fucking slag!)

When she tried to explain what happened

She was shouting at him for an hour

Crying at the top her lungs

"Don't leave me here

You're the one I love"

Leave it alone mate, she doesn't want to go home with ya

Home with ya, no

Leave it alone mate, she doesn't want to go home with ya

Home with ya

Leave it alone mate, she doesn't want to go home with ya

Home with ya, no

Leave it alone mate, she doesn't want to go home with ya

Home with ya

She can't even run

She can't even walk

She slurs when she speaks

But you hear what you want when she can't even talk

She can't even run

She can't even walk

She slurs when she speaks

But you hear what you want when she can't even talk

Can't even talk

Can't even talk

(Can't even talk)

(Can't even talk)

Leave it alone mate, she doesn't want to go home with ya

Home with ya, no

Leave it alone mate, she doesn't want to go home with ya

Home with ya

Leave it alone mate, she doesn't want to go home with ya

Home with ya, no

Leave it alone mate, she doesn't want to go home with ya

Home with ya

Leave it alone mate

She can't even run

Leave it alone mate

She can't even walk

She slurs when she speaks but you hear what you want when she can't even talk

Leave it alone mate

She can't even run

Leave it alone mate

She can't even walk

She slurs when she speaks but you hear what you want when she can't even talk
