Eyes
Borneland Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Eyes, eyes I'm hypnotized by your
Eyes, eyes, your eyes

I am like ...
. the smell on my pillowcase

Sedated by cologne I am
on my own
again my part-time friend
until your eyes, eyes, I am hypnotized

Eyes, eyes I'm hypnotized by your
Eyes, eyes, your eyes




Eyes, eyes I'm hypnotized
Eyes, eyes, by your eyes

This song wants to sound like a downtempo electronic version of Girl from Ipanema. Or is it just me?
