Eyes
Clio Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Mama said you're oversold
I get high when I'm home alone
No loving you tonight, no bad eyes, bad eyes
Devil is on the wall
I won't come home, I won't come home
Don't, don't bother to call
Don't, don't bother to call
Help me understand
You gotta know I'm not pushing, pushing
Help me understand
But don't lie, don't lie, don't lie, don't
Help me understand
You gon' drive me crazy, crazy
Help me understand
You gonna go down fee-fi-fo-fum
And I do like you
But I don't like lies
Baby, talk is cheap
I want a sacrifice
I wanna do it right
And I don't wanna do it alone
But all I see is such bad, bad eyes
Don't rub me like a fool
Matahari in the back of the room
I'm a queen, better follow the rules
Take it if you like it, I'm savage, baby
Help me understand
You gotta know I'm not pushing, pushing
Help me understand
But don't lie, don't lie, don't lie, don't
Help me understand
You gon' drive me crazy, crazy
Help me understand
You gonna go down fee-fi-fo-fum
And I do like you
But I don't like lies
Baby, talk is cheap
I want a sacrifice
I wanna do it right
And I don't wanna do it alone
But all I see is such bad, bad eyes
I see your bad, bad eyes
Wandering up and down and up again
Looking out for something but you never look at me, my friend
Gotta start to wonder, should I try, but I guess I shouldn't
Should I try and pretend that I'm a rock I'm like I would
I'm not a one trick pony, not a one track mind
And the past is always bright and up 'till here been very kind
I'll be giving you a chance and you really shouldn't blast it
I hate to see this coming but this gotta be your last gig
And I do like you
But I don't like lies
Baby, talk is cheap
I want a sacrifice
I wanna do it right
And I don't wanna do it alone
But all I see is such bad, bad eyes
(Yeah)
(Yeah)
(Yeah)
But all I see is such bad, bad eyes
In Clio's song "Eyes," the singer expresses her frustration with her partner through lyrics that illustrate the toxicity in their relationship. The song begins with the line, "Papi, get off the phone, Mama said you're oversold." This line suggests that her partner is not paying enough attention to her, and this lack of attention leads her to seek solace in drugs. She then sings, "No loving you tonight, no bad eyes, bad eyes," which implies that she is not interested in being intimate with her partner anymore due to his bad behavior, reflected in his "bad eyes."
The chorus of the song repeats the line "Help me understand," expressing the singer's desire to communicate with her partner but also her frustration with his lies. She wants to do the relationship "right," but all she sees are "bad, bad eyes" from her partner. The bridge adds an additional layer to the song, where she questions whether she should try to make the relationship work or give up and move on.
Overall, "Eyes" is a powerful song that tackles the difficult topic of a toxic relationship. Clio effectively uses metaphors to convey her emotions, creating a haunting and emotional track.

I see your bad, bad eyes

Wandering up and down and up again
Wandering around, repeating the motion
Looking out for something but you never look at me, my friend
Searching for something, yet not acknowledging my presence, my companion
Gotta start to wonder, should I try, but I guess I shouldn't
I must begin to question if I should attempt, though it's unlikely
Should I try and pretend that I'm a rock I'm like I would
Perhaps I should attempt to appear impassive as a stone
I'm not a one trick pony, not a one track mind
I am a versatile individual with varied focuses
And the past is always bright and up 'till here been very kind
My former encounters have all been optimistic until now
I'll be giving you a chance and you really shouldn't blast it
I will afford you an opening, please do not squander it
I hate to see this coming but this gotta be your last gig
I dislike the forthcoming events, but it is necessary for you to depart

Eyes
by Clio
I can see your eyes
While I'm walking on the stage waiting for you
She say
I can see your eyes
Je suis bien heureuse
So let me feel your gaze
She say
I can see your eyes
Get excited about to move, dancing away
I can see your eyes
Blind me par ses merveilles
They're coming on my way
Il y a de quoi il perd la tête pour toi
Sha, pour toi, la la I can see your eyes
When you can you wear the crown a wonderful move
She say
I can see your eyes
Je n'ai plus de bulles
You know I'm feeling blue
She say
I can see your eyes
Know you get along with me and I'll see you tonight
I can see your eyes
Je veux peu d'aroisemanne
Your body is in my mind
Il y a de quoi il perd la tête pour toi
Sha, pour toi, la la
I can see your eyes
While I'm walking on the stage waiting for you
She say
I can see your eyes
Je suis bien heureuse
So let me feel your gaze
She say
I can see your eyes
Get excited about to move, dancing away
I can see your eyes
Blind me par ses merveilles
They're coming on my way
Il y a de quoi il perd la tête pour toi
Sha, pour toi, la la

@missachan867
I'm so glad more people are discovering this masterpiece and italo disco in general
@oracle5200
I knew about it without knowing the actual genere but I think it was baltamora's Tarzan Boy that I probaly first listened to. But since youtube and spotify helped me a bit to actually find the genre and I can't stop listening.
@satltabur4597
I have a feeling that popularity of italo disco is having a comeback.
@jerro1446
I got here by following the Eurobeat rabbit hole for 3 years
@Cosmopavone
@Oracle?? Tarzanboy is the only sip of italo disco disco north amican got to enjoy in the 80s.. but italo disco is a rabbit hole of masterpieces
@JK061996
Italy's 2023 top summer hit is called "Italodisco", hopefully this will breathe new life into the genre
@TheItalodancers
Simply incredible. The 80's are fantastic.
