"Situated just next to one of the most beautiful sites in Paris, the Place de la Concorde, is a very special place unmarked by the passage of time. This exceptional and even mythical spot is the Buddha Bar. The space was inaugurated in 1996 by Raymond Visan and Thierry Begue, and is named after the enormour Buddha, a replica of the Musee Guimet Buddha, commisioned for the site. A very special atmosphere dominates this unique location.

Claude Challe and Ravin's music lures their audience into a dreamworld. One just has to sit back and enjoy the ride through this magical universe. The auditor is invited to partake in an ecclectic, initiatory voyage, timeless and without boundaries into an atmosphere where space is filled by beauty, sweetness and love's serenity. The music is for the travellor (sic) whose voyages lead him to discover the mysticisms and rythms of the world.

The Buddha Bar is a place which makes one feel good, as it takes its clients on a voyage into the world situated between dreams and reality."

Buddha-Bar Lyrics

Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴

Hide your eyes
You know I see into your soul, it's vapourised
It's overgrown, don't climb the ceilings
Light the dark with flaming vines
I just want to be fine to ride the waves
If everybody gets some space just to ride the waves, we will be O.K
I just want to be fine to ride the waves
Hide your eyes

You know I see into your soul, it's vapourised
It's overgrown, don't climb the ceilings
Light the dark with flaming vines
Hide your eyes
You know I see into your soul, it's vapourised
It's overgrown, don't climb the ceilings
Light the dark with flaming vines
Hide your eyes
You know I see into your soul, it's vapourised
It's overgrown, don't climb the ceilings
Light the dark with flaming vines
I just want to be fine to ride the waves

If everybody gets some space just to ride the waves, we will be O.K
I just want to be fine to ride the waves

Overall Meaning

The lyrics of Buddha-Bar's song "Eyes" convey a sense of deep connection and an urge for personal freedom. The first line, "Hide your eyes, you know I see into your soul, it's vaporized," suggests that the singer is an insightful person who can perceive emotions that others may not be able to discern. The sense of connection deepens as the Singer exhorts the listener to not feel constrained by the physical structure of one's surroundings, "Don't climb the ceilings. Light the dark with flaming vines."

The chorus repeats the line, "I just want to be fine to ride the waves." The waves are a metaphor for the ups and downs of life, and the desire to navigate through them in one's own way without anyone else holding them back. The repeated line, "If everybody gets some space just to ride the waves, we will be O.K," suggests that harmony and happiness in society may be achieved if we all have our own personal space to ride out the highs and lows of life.

Overall, the lyrics of "Eyes" are poetic, evocative, and speak to the human need for both deep connections with others and personal freedom.
