In Your Eyes
Bosca Banks Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Days pass and this emptiness fills my heart
When I want to run away
I drive off in my car
But whichever way I go
I come back to the place where you are
All my instincts, they return
Without a noise, without my pride
I reach out from the inside
In your eyes
The light the heat
I am complete
I see the doorway to a thousand churches
The resolution of all the fullest
searches
I see the light and heat
Oh, I want to be that complete
I want to touch the light
The heat I see in your eyes
Love, I don't like to see so much pain
So much wasted and this moment keeps slipping away
I get so tired of working so hard for my survival
I look to the time with you to keep me awake and alive
And all my instincts, they return
And the grand facade, so soon will burn
Without a noise, without my pride
I reach out from the inside
In your eyes
In your eyes
In your eyes
In your eyes
In your eyes
The light the heat
I'm complete
I see the doorway to a thousand churches
The resolution of all the fullest searches
I see the light and the heat
I want to be that complete
I want to touch the light,
The heat I see in your eyes
Bosca Banks’ “In Your Eyes” is a beautifully written love song that expresses how the singer finds completeness and purpose through the person they love.

However, the singer always turns back to the place where their lover is, a kind of return to themselves. The pre-chorus mentions how the singer's instincts return and that their “grand facade” will burn soon. This facade likely refers to the mask the singer wears in public or around others, and the idea that it will burn implies a sense of liberation.

They describe seeing the light and heat in their lover's eyes as something that completes them. Seeing this in their lover’s eyes opens up a world of possibilities for the singer, a thousand churches that lead to the resolution of all their fullest searches. To the singer, their love is the way to touch the light.
The second verse follows a similar theme, with the singer expressing tiredness from working hard to survive in the world. They look towards the time they spend with their lover to keep them awake and alive. The second pre-chorus is similar to the first, with the singer saying that their instincts have returned and that their grand facade will soon burn without any noise or pride. The song ends with the final chorus being repeated five times.

Love I get so lost, sometimes
Sometimes I feel lost in my love for you
Days pass and this emptiness fills my heart
Even though time passes, the emptiness without you remains
When I want to run away
When I feel overwhelmed and want to escape
I drive off in my car
I physically distance myself from the source of my pain
But whichever way I go
No matter where I go
I come back to the place where you are
I always end up back with you, because you are where I belong
All my instincts, they return
My natural impulses and desires come back to me
And the grand facade, so soon will burn
Any false appearances or illusions of control will soon fade away
Without a noise, without my pride
Quietly and humbly, without letting my ego get in the way
I reach out from the inside
I express my true feelings and vulnerability
In your eyes
In the way you look at me
The light the heat
The intense passion and warmth I feel
I am complete
I feel whole and fulfilled
I see the doorway to a thousand churches
I find spiritual enlightenment through you
The resolution of all the fullest searches
All my deepest desires and longings are fulfilled
I see the light and heat
I see and feel the intensity of our love and connection
Oh, I want to be that complete
I want to fully experience and embody that sense of wholeness
I want to touch the light
I want to physically connect with and experience that intensity
The heat I see in your eyes
The passion and intensity of our love that I see reflected in your eyes
Love, I don't like to see so much pain
I cannot bear to see you or anyone else in pain
So much wasted and this moment keeps slipping away
Time is fleeting and I do not want to waste any more of it without you
I get so tired of working so hard for my survival
I am exhausted from constantly struggling to stay afloat without you
I look to the time with you to keep me awake and alive
I find solace and energy in the time we spend together
In your eyes
Once again, in the way you look at me
In your eyes
Reiterating the intensity and importance of our connection
In your eyes
Affirming that this love is truly about the way we see and understand each other
In your eyes
And not just a fleeting emotion or feeling
In your eyes
The depth and intensity of our love lives on
The light the heat
Burns bright and strong
I'm complete
Through this love, I feel whole and at peace
I see the doorway to a thousand churches
Once again finding enlightenment and salvation through our connection
The resolution of all the fullest searches
Finally finding the answers to all my deepest questions and desires
I see the light and the heat
Feeling the same passion and intensity as before
I want to be that complete
I aspire to embody and fully experience this love and sense of wholeness
I want to touch the light
Showing once again the desire to physically connect with and experience this love
The heat I see in your eyes
The passion and intensity of our connection, forever alive in the way we see each other
