Genius Annotation

Girl was the third single released for Beck’s 2005 album ‘Guero.’ The song is also the third track on the album and features some of Beck’s darkest lyric to date.

Girl has become semi-famous among both casual music fans and Beck fans for its confusing and symbolic lyrics, especially the chorus, where Beck’s “girl” is described as “cyanide”, “sun-eyed”, or even “summer” by the ears of different listeners. This notable confusion has added to the appreciation many fans have for this song, one described by mans as one of Beck’s best.
