In Your Eyes
Cool Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Come here son take it on the chin
I'm here to absolve you of all your sin
Lies are facts dance to my tune
Truth is a balloon sailing over the moon
Don't like the looks of the stuff in your books
Not enough fun and too many hooks
Plague's droughts locusts and dust
We will save you in us you must trust
Whatever you give us it just ain't enough
In bricks and mortar we'll store your stuff
A few more coins and were off your back
Its surely gods will we pay no tax
Don't like the looks of the stuff in your books
Not enough fun and too many hooks
Plague's droughts locusts and dust
We will save you in us you must trust
Hands in your pockets stay out of ours
TV channels now were all super stars
We're suited and booted just corporate whores
All washed down with seats in the lords
Don't like the looks of the stuff in your books
Not enough fun and too many hooks
Plague's droughts locusts and dust
We will save you in us you must trust
Don't like the looks of the stuff in your books
Not enough fun and too many hooks
Plague's droughts locusts and dust
We will save you in us you must trust
We'll take your money as much as we can
Don't you know that god's a Tax man
Ignore the heretics and their hate
Trapped in hell with no rebate
Don't like the looks of the stuff in your books
Not enough fun and too many hooks
Plague's droughts locusts and dust
We will save you in us you must trust
Come here son take it on the chin
I'm here to absolve you of all your sin
Lies are facts dance to my tune
Truth is a balloon sailing over the moon
Don't like the looks of the stuff in your books
Not enough fun and too many hooks
Plague's droughts locusts and dust
We will save you in us you must trust
Don't like the looks of the stuff in your books
Not enough fun and too many hooks
Plague's droughts locusts and dust
We will save you in us you must trust
The stuff in your books
The stuff in your books




The stuff in your books
The stuff in your books

Overall Meaning

"In Your Eyes" by Cool is a politically-charged song that criticizes the manipulation and control exercised by those in power. The lyrics convey a message of distrust towards authority and a call for individuals to question the narratives presented to them. The song employs religious and biblical imagery to highlight the irony and hypocrisy of those who claim to have the ultimate truth and salvation.


The opening lines, "Come here son take it on the chin, I'm here to absolve you of all your sin," can be interpreted as a sarcastic reference to religious figures who claim to offer forgiveness and absolution to followers. The next line, "Lies are facts dance to my tune," suggests that lies and deceit are presented as facts by those in power, and individuals are expected to blindly follow their directives.


The chorus, "Don't like the looks of the stuff in your books, Not enough fun and too many hooks, Plagues, droughts, locusts, and dust, We will save you, in us you must trust," criticizes the content of religious texts that may not provide enough joy and entertainment but are filled with warnings of punishment and suffering. It also highlights the manipulative tactics used by those in power to make people believe that salvation can only be achieved through their guidance.


The second verse brings attention to the greed and materialism of the ruling class, with lines like "A few more coins and we're off your back, It's surely God's will, we pay no tax." It suggests that those in power exploit the masses and exploit religious justifications to avoid paying taxes and gaining more wealth.


Throughout the song, the lyrics emphasize the need to question authority, the misuse of religion for personal gain, and the illusion of salvation offered by those in power. It encourages individuals to think critically and not blindly trust the narratives presented to them.
