Regina Spektor - Eet Lyrics

shut up thats a legit meaning retard if you learned how to read and spell

Dis nigga wuz high.

this song is very beautiful

listen to "lady"

so smooth

Hmmm... the CD we own is the black disc with a blue piano on it. Thank you for the recomendation to my Husband Travis. I hope to never forget you.

Love this whole Albulm. Her music heals parts of my heart that no other human could. I guess I have a ton of healing to do.

Forgetting is man's greatest fear. Its greatest pain. Its greatest sadness. Euphoric drugs increase brain function. Alzheimer's, the greatest fear of some, causes memory loss. We were genetically engineered by time to aspire, more than anything else, to reproduce and leave our mark on the world so we won't be forgotten. Forgetting a song, one of the most powerful creators of emotion, is not only losing a memory, but losing a feeling, and emotion. She sings of the worst fate one can endure.

trying to tell anyone there is a specific meaning and purpose for any piece of art is ridiculous ... we create, we throw it out into the collective conscious and let everyone interpret as they need to interpret... if it helped someone deal with grief, loss, life, love... who cares... whatever they need it to be it can be... but pinpointing an exact meaning of anything is too closed minded for any art form.

This song is anything but literal. It is almost impossible to say it's any one thing like love, life, or music. It can be a metaphor for almost anything and describes the deepest hurt one can have. Depression in the brain can often come from a lack of activity in the brain. The euphoric drugs skyrocket brain activity and one of the most feared handicaps is Alzheimer's because nothing is more valuable to a person than their memories and thoughts. Forgetting the words to a song is deeply depressing because music is incredible at creating emotion, and by forgetting a song, you lose not only a memory, but a specific emotion, and that is what it feels like when something terrible happens concerning love or life. This song denotes the ultimate and deepest depression-loss of emotion. The bridge about the thief and the crying boy seems like someone who enters such a deep depression is pulled out of their insecurity by the sadness of another who is also being deprived of something, and the natural response of sympathy is enough to return some of the emotion that was lost. This doesn't end the sadness, it only puts it in perspective, and in a way, replaces it. Replacement is almost as terrifying as losing memories, but it is a part of growing up and maturation.

This song is so beautiful. i went through a pretty hard time and i listened to this all the time after a friend emailed me the lyrics sayin "this is you" and i totally fell apart crying. I'm a contemporary dancer and this is now one of my favorite dances.

I do agree with the "enter" version :)
I think it´s about trying.
about talent
but wasting it because there is no chance to show, or about loosing it / the feeling of it , too.. i guess, definitely about chances too..

"you spend half of your life trying .. to fall behind.."

also about not being able to do what you want because some things or people are holding you back sometimes

".. cause it´s his turn but his brother wont let him try.."

Well for me it´s more a song about art than about love..
but both of course, walk hand in hand, too ;)

I also would agree about the "loosing yourself" thoughts.
... " just to feel the chill " - just to FEEL yourself again..

EET was the old word for 'enter' on a typewriter. If you watch her video for this song you'll see her hitting on it :) Beautiful peace of music (:

This song is about the ending love. You feel that something that was so great and easy has yurned into something you don't understand, but it's so hard to let it go.

EET is the name of the Eastern European Television that Regina grew up watching in Russia. Because it's state tv there would never be a controversy or anything that would ever challenge the status quo.
So easy. I can't believe everybody missed this one.

i feel like it's about losing a sense of who you are. and you can't figure out how to adjust or where you went wrong, or how things have changed all of a sudden. and it seemed so easy before, but now nothing makes sense.

what a great song...i think what she means by these lyrics is that we don't no any better then to do the things we do. like the part when the little boy cries because it's his turn, but his brother wont let him try....honestly i think the boy wants to steal because he doesn't no better and can't remember back to when the was goodness and love. "it's like forgetting the words to your favorite song".....like losing your way .

To me...this song was merely a feel good tune at the time, but then I came here to look up the lyrics and the words...the content..the meaning really touched me! Many can say that it's about falling back in love and trying to remember how it feels like...others may say it's about opening your heat and your mind to life again and living the way you always knew you could! I took all of that and more when I saw the words. Many forget to mention the bridge of the song..."What does that have to do with all the rest of the lyrics??" I thought about it for a while and then I realized that this song is also about opening your eyes to your inner "self". By portraying a man who wanted to steal it meant for me that the man had forgotten his ways and his purpose in life...so he was willing to stoop so low as to steal,then when he opened the window or "Eet"(entered) back to life, he saw a little boy crying for acceptance, which is what the man wanted all along....because of this, he rediscovered himself....his inner "self" or inner "beat."

For me, this song is about falling out of love with someone and trying to fall back in love with them. To me, it's about an end of a relationship.

I heard this song in a 90210's episode and I had to have it! So beautiful.

I thought because 'Eet' is the old name for 'Enter' on a typewriter, she's trying to say that by pressing 'Eet' there is no backspace on a typewriter so there is no way back once you press 'Eet.' I absoloutely adore this song, and many other Regina Spektor songs!! :) She is so ridiculously talented. :L

for me it's about having loved someone and trying to get over that person. everytime you find a new guy, it just doesn't work out. you can't get yourself to fall in love again. you can't remember how you did it. it only works out for you with the other guy, but you know you deserve better.

well, i just love the song. it feels like she's understanding my feelings. that's a good thing.

I'm hearing this song at an interesting time. I've spent the better part of the past year getting over my first love, and now that I have, it's difficult to remember - which is scary, especially now that everything is changing and I'm about to leave my hometown for college. Love it

I think this song is about falling in love or at least how it should feel. Like nothing makes sense and everything you thought you knew has a whole new perspective. You're sitting in a daze so all you can do it try to find the beat. :)

alright, it to me this somg makes me think about how it used to be so easy for me to say to my self that i was inlove with this guy, and now i can't remember the feeling of being inlove, and i can't remember why i was inlove with him, and why i cried for him.

im 15.

Pretty much comes down the fact that each person gets something a little different out of each song they listen to.

No one is wrong or right.

I think that's how songs sould be.

I really relate to this song because it reminds me of letting go of someone who you cared so much about and then realizing that you don't even miss them that much. I definitely used the "song" that was my ex to drown out the problems in my own mind. And then, after you've healed, and you hear your old favorite song, you can't believe that you ever liked it so much, and you're so surprised to discover that you don't even remember the lyrics.

AMAZING quality! I search for instrumentals like yours all the time ... thank you so much. I will be singing this for a wedding :)

I take it as losing direction in your life. You had a plan, a purpose, and a moral compass to follow, and life was good, when suddenly you forget. You can't believe your own thoughts anymore, and reality seems foreign...you try to drown it out. You find yourself doing things you never thought you would, good and bad.
I agree with the previous comment; the song moulds to anyone's experience as human. This is mine,

there's a song, she forgets the lyrics and all she can remember is that it finished with eet. so, she just sings "eet"

reminds me of some one specail...................................................................

This is so real.

wow her words have so much meaning in them. it really makes you think. also her melodies are so catchy and always get stuck in my head! (i'm glad ^ ^) my fav regina spektor songs are the call, fidelity, eet, laughing with, and us.

this sonq ... it brinqs a whole new liqht to me for some reason . this sonq reeli hit me hard i quess cuz its almost as if she is talkinq about a recent relationship i went thru nd its so shockinq that i cud forqet about this relationship becuz i was always the one that was the biqqest part of it . its hard to forqet the words to yur favorite sonq but wen yu do yu feel empty ... read these words as the feelinqs of a younq poet . im only 15 .

I love the way her voice sounds and the lyrics are so catchy. they relate to real life...................................................................

i think its about losing your childhood, or your sense of childhood.
like, losing your innocence.
the man deciding whether or not to steal has lost his innocense and past, and the boy crying brings him back

i think its about some one leaving and you cant belive it happened. she has an amazing voice.

I think it's about poeople thinking about killing themselves....
"its like forgetting the word to your favorite song"

her voice is so pure and a breath of fresh air. i thought 'eet' just came from the word before, 'feet'

Eet used to be the "enter" button on old typewriters. I LOVE Regina. So beautiful and voice and overall! love her

"Eet" is a play on the commonly mispronounced "it". I read somewhere that she meant to reference it as her own mispronunciation and confusion about this sound that she heard so much when she moved to America.

i love this song... it kinds talks about how quickly things can change... how fickle the world is. does anyone know what she's talking about with the person deciding whether or not to steal?

i don't think the words "eet" actually mean anything. i just think it's regina playing around with musical noises, like she does in almost all her songs.

FREAKING AMAZING.
Someone please explain the intentions of using "Eet"
I get that it's used at the sound of it.
But I'm not sure.

A friend show me this new song and it makes me love her more and more... I love her voice, her stile, her way... she's so sweet.

Nothing but amazing, saw Regina last week at T in the Park. She is truely a legend. I wish she was my best mate!

I'm Rebecca Klauber and I love Regina and I love this song! So Sweet!

Absolutely amazing. No matter how you look at it, it relates to everybody in some way. I love Regina Spektor; aboslutely genius.

good!!!

I can't hate it

I already love this song, it's amazing.
