When I Look In Your Eyes
C21 Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
For the first time it hurts deep inside
I wish that I could turn back time
But there's no going back ?no way to deny
Ooohh suddenly
It feels like loosing it all
I'm trying so hard to be strong
When I look in your eyes
I don't know how to tell you
With every beat of my heart I try
To find a way to survive
Find a way to let go now
Tell me how to live my life alone
It's so hard to tell the truth from the lies
So would you hold my hand for one last goodbye
I don't know if I can let go
Who will catch me if I stumble and fall
When I look in your eyes...
The lyrics of C21's song When I Look In Your Eyes are about heartbreak and the feeling of loss when a relationship is ending. The singer is experiencing deep emotional pain for the first time, which he sees reflected in the eyes of his partner. He wishes he could reverse time, but he knows there is no going back. Suddenly, he feels like he is losing everything, and he tries to remain strong while dealing with his emotions.
The chorus of the song expresses his struggle to find a way to survive without his partner. He doesn't know how to tell her that he is trying to start anew, and each beat of his heart is a reminder of how much he loved her. He wants to find a way to let go and live his life alone, but it is proving to be a difficult task. The singer is also questioning if everything that was said and done in the relationship was genuine, or if it was based on lies. He is unsure if he can ever let go completely, as he is worried about stumbling and falling without anyone to catch him.
The lyrics convey a feeling of vulnerability and the harsh reality of a relationship coming to an end. The pain of heartbreak is palpable, and the melancholic melody of the song emphasizes the emotions behind the lyrics.

This song should be much more famous! It deserves that ;).. The lyric says so many true things. You really wish, you can change all the stupid things, you've done, but you can't - and you know, you need to tell the truth, but you just don't want to hurt someone :( But it's better.. Søren has the most wonderful voice, and it really sounds like, he knows, what he sings about :D C21 were amazing! They're noone like them :D
