telescope eyes = big dorky glasses

metal teeth = grotesque braces

In summation, nerds are people too. Despite the "humor" brought about when one of them wants to "play" with you, they are "just like [us], so leave [them] alone."

I hope my interpretation was accurate. I had a chuckle when I realized this a few minutes ago.

the second verse of the ep2 version has the lyrics go:

dear matthew, why can't you see
you're just not near enough like me
with your big dress
and your dirty hair....

so like....i'm feeling bad for that kid matthew if he's got to go around with coke bottle glasses, braces, wearing a big dress, and with dirty hair. i totally sympathize with him for being rejected. he might look funny, but everybody needs friends!

Did this song even need an interpretation?

Its so straight-forward it almost hurts.

Perhaps...but it isn't obvious that "Sea King" is actually a cleverly disguised allegory for the US Imperialist foreign policy toward 1960s Communist Romania.

actually... no Laughing

you´re thinking of this:

go cry, go run away
let your short legs carry you away
with your big dress and your dirty hair

Wow, is this hostility I sense?

Calm down jerks.

I must admit I pay more attention to the music and vocals than the lyrics when it comes to Eisley.

So run along now and stop the patronizing.
