Eye In The Sky
Alan Parsons Project Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Don't think sorry's easily said
Don't try turning tables instead
You've taken lots of Chances before
But I'm not gonna give anymore
Don't ask me
That's how it goes
Cause part of me knows what you're thinkin'
Don't say words you're gonna regret
Don't let the fire rush to your head
I've heard the accusation before
And I ain't gonna take any more
Believe me
The sun in your Eyes
Made some of the lies worth believing

I am the eye in the sky
Looking at you
I can read your mind
I am the maker of rules
Dealing with fools
I can cheat you blind
And I don't need to see any more
To know that
I can read your mind, I can read your mind

Don't leave false illusions behind
Don't cry cause I ain't changing my mind
So find another fool like before
Cause I ain't gonna live anymore believing
Some of the lies while all of the signs are deceiving

I am the eye in the sky
Looking at you
I can read your mind
I am the maker of rules
Dealing with fools
I can cheat you blind
And I don't need to see any more




To know that
I can read your mind, I can read your mind

Overall Meaning

The lyrics of "Eye In The Sky" by the Alan Parsons Project revolve around a person who is aware of the lies and illusions of their partner. The singer is unwilling to give any more chances to their partner, and they know what their partner is thinking. The singer warns their partner not to say anything that they will regret and not to let their emotions take over. The sun in the partner's eyes has made even some of the lies worth believing. The singer then declares himself as the all-seeing "eye in the sky" who can read the partner's mind and is the maker of rules dealing with fools. He doesn't need to see anything anymore because he already knows what's happening.


The song's lyrics are a reminder to the listeners that all our actions have repercussions, and we should be aware of what we are doing. Just like the 'eye in the sky' who has the power to see everything, our actions and words have consequences, and we should be accountable for them. It also highlights the importance of honesty and trust in relationships.
