Eyes
9m88 Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
They once shined so bright in the darkest sky
Pure glance without a tide
Sailing her fearless soul where love encompass
But now I question myself why
These eyes are muddy in disguise
Who took away your crystal clear
But now your pleasure′s hidden somewhere
These eyes are held with anonymous fear
Let the light in
Roll up the curtains
The room can be again embraced by warmth
You know someday bitter and sour are no longer cluttered
In a carefree day, you'll find the answer, oh
Now your windows are covered by dirt
Waiting for someone to wipe out the blur
Stretch your shoulders
Be patient to search
You can draw the path
Like no other
But now I question myself why
These eyes are muddy in disguise
Who took away your crystal clear
It seems like nothing make you despair
But now your pleasure′s hidden somewhere
These eyes are held with anonymous fear
Let the light in
Roll up the curtains
The room can be again embraced by warmth
You know someday bitter and sour are no longer cluttered
In a carefree day, you'll find the answer, oh
Now your windows are covered by dirt
Waiting for someone to wipe out the blur
Stretch your shoulders
Be patient to search
You can draw the path
Like no other
I saw this pair of eyes
They once shined so bright in the darkest sky
Pure glance without a tide
Sailing her fearless soul where love encompass
In "Eyes" by 9m88, the singer laments the loss of someone's shining spirit, represented by her bright, fearless eyes. She questions why these eyes are now "muddy in disguise" and held by an "anonymous fear". The lyrics encourage the listener to let light in and to roll up the curtains, suggesting a need to remove the barriers that have clouded our vision and blocked us from fully embracing life.
The song seems to be about the loss of hope and the need to rekindle it. The metaphor of dirty windows symbolizes the barriers we often create to shut out the world and protect ourselves from disappointment or pain. The song encourages us to stretch our shoulders and be patient in our search for renewed hope and the ability to draw our own path, to find the answer.
The lyrics convey a sense of empathy, and the hopeful message conveyed in the chorus reminds us that we are not alone in our struggles. The idea of finding a carefree day where we can discover the light and the path forward is an inspiring message that speaks to anyone who may be struggling with life's challenges.
