Discover the story of the song > Zoo Eyes – Aldous Harding

The protagonist is questioning why she is in Dubai and feeling unsure about her life. She wonders if her partner loves her and cries a lot. She describes her eyes as "zoo eyes". She asks for something and believes she will receive it, like an extravagant fair. She mentions rain beads that go to the ocean and a nectar that she drove her inner child to see. She talks about a colorful bride and how magnificent things are. She asks if her partner loves her again in the morning. She mentions Dubai again and talks about zoo eyes. She asks for something again and believes she will receive it, like an opulent fair. She describes fear as green and it sits above the classroom of your dreams. She also describes love as fleece and it leaves a lamb laughing in the breeze. The song ends with a repeated line about the greatest show on Earth.
