I have been assigned a music video, for my Communications class in High School. I chose Major Minus, but am having trouble writing a script for it. I have read this article about the basis for the song being The White Rose, and have chosen to re-enact that in the present day, but do not understand some lines in this context.
Lyrics:
They got one eye watching you
One eye on what you do
So be careful who it is you're talking to
They got one eye watching you
One eye on what you do
So be careful what it is you're trying to do
And be careful if you're walking into view
Just be careful if you're walking into view
Ooh ooh ooh, ooh ooh ooh oooh
Got one eye on the road and one on you
Ooh ooh ooh, ooh ooh ooh oooh
Got one eye on the road and one on
They got one eye watching you
One eye on what you do
So be careful cause nothing they say is true
No d, -don't believe a word
Its jus-ust-us against the world
And we just got to turn up to be heard
Hear the crocodiles ticking round the world
Hear the crocodiles ticking, they go ticking round the world
Ooh ooh ooh, ooh ooh ooh oooh
Got one eye on the road and one on you
Ooh ooh ooh, ooh ooh ooh oooh
Got one eye on the road and
You could hear them climbing the stairs
Got my right side fighting while my left hides under the chairs
Ooh ooh ooh, ooh ooh ooh oooh
Got one eye on the road and one on you
Ooh ooh ooh, ooh ooh ooh oooh
Got one eye on the road and one on you
Questions on lyrics:
"They" is the gestapo correct?
Do they have both eyes on you, or one eye on both you and what you do?
Does "And be careful when you're walking into view" have a greater meaning then the obvious?
The crocodiles are a reference to Peter Pan and is a metaphor for paranoia correct?
What is the road in "Got one eye on the road and one on you" ?
What does "You could hear them climbing the stairs / Got my right side fighting while my left hides under the chairs" mean? Is it simply getting caught, and not being sure what to do?
Be sure to mention anything else you think could help me,
thanks
TL;DR : I need some help interpreting Major Minus for a music video
