Eyes on You
Colin Sales & S.U.Z.Y Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

It's the game, the aim that puts the light in their eyes
They'll be bored, ignore, abhor the shine of a dimmer light
Fight tooth and nail
And for unreachable stars, they'll go to any height
Endure the plight of sharing awareness of inflated mundane lifestyles
So you wanna be famous
Instantly populate Ur-anus
Jesus, can you handle all the weirdos
How far can you pay to go?
What kind of trip is this
They're hooked on fame
They won't admit
No tricks, there's no shame
They will click, help open doors for you
But don't think they are sleeping on you
Just do somethin' bad
Fuck yea
Their eyes are watchin' you
All aboard the train to some kind of death and certain disaster
But be sure you want whatever you're after
There's no going back, no tour
They'll love you sometimes that's for sure
Once you're in, you're out
Sell your life for clout
Either way, you can't run away
That's 'cause you're theirs, you better stay
Can you pay? Always, they'll be watching you
What kind of trip is this
They're hooked on fame
They won't admit
No tricks, there's no shame
They will click, help close those doors on you
But don't think they are sleeping on you
Just do somethin' bad
Fuck yea
Their eyes are watchin' you
What kind of trip
What kind of trip
What kind of trip is this
They're hooked on fame
They won't admit
No tricks, there's no shame
They won't click or open doors for you
But don't think they are sleeping on you
Just do somethin' bad
Fuck yea




Their eyes are watchin' you
And everything you do
