In Your Eyes
Darren Hayes / Savage Garden Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Ooh...

Love. I get so lost sometimes
Days pass, and this emptiness fills my heart
When I want to run away
I drive off in my car
But which ever way I go
I come back to the place you are...

And all my instincts, they return,
And this grand facade
So soon will burn,
Without a noise,
And without my pride,
I reach out from the inside
Ooh, woah...

In your eyes
The light, the heat
my imcomplete
I see the doorway
To a thousand churches
The resolution to all my foolish searches
Oh, I see the light I see the heat
I wanna be that complete
I wanna touch the light the heat I see in your eyes

Love. I don't like to see so much pain
So much wasted, and these moments keep slipping away
I get so tired working so hard for my survival
I look to the time with you, to keep me awake and alive...


And all my instincts, they return,
And the grand facade,
So soon will burn
Without a noise, and without my pride
I reach out from the inside...
Ooh, woah...

In your eyes
The light, the heat
Are incomplete
I see the doorway
To a thousand churches
The resolution of all my foolish searches
Oh, I see the light, I see the heat
Oh, I wanna be that complete
I wanna touch the light,the heat I see in your eyes
In your eyes

Ooh...

Da da da da..

Oh, woah... oh...





In your eyes, oh in your eyes,
In your eyes, ooh...

Overall Meaning

The lyrics to Darren Hayes / Savage Garden's song "In Your Eyes" explore the theme of love and the journey towards completeness. The opening lines convey the struggles of being lost and feeling empty, but the singer finds solace by driving away but always coming back to the place where their loved one is. This shows that no matter how much they try to escape their problems, they will always be drawn back to the person they love.


The chorus of the song emphasizes the transformative power of love through the use of imagery. The singer sees the light and heat that they need to feel complete in their loved one's eyes. They also see a doorway to a thousand churches, which can be interpreted as finding salvation and enlightenment through love. The resolution to all their foolish searches is also found in their loved one's eyes. This emphasizes the idea that love is the answer to all the singer's problems and the ultimate source of fulfillment.


In the end, the singer recognizes the temporary nature of their false exterior and hopes to touch the light and heat they see in their love's eyes. This suggests that they no longer want to put up a facade and instead want to embrace their true selves and feel complete through their love.

So beautiful, Darren, you still have not lost your "Voice of Gold." You are the Best Singer of All-time, for me and I Treasure your Music and you.
Masterpiece ❤ Is there such a thing as a 'Masterpiece?' Yes, with him...There definitely is, other Singers too. But, I think that Darren Hayes is the, "Masterpiece."

@Savage.Hayes72

Amazing cover and amazing voice.
He gives me butterflies inside my own stomach. 🦋

Darren's voice is special from the times of Savage Garden too finding himself he is so beautiful, glad to see him back grew up with his songs.

Makes you care a little bit more xx

@sirtyler79

I cannot even fathom a feasible reason I have never heard this recording! I have heard almost everything Darren Hayes has ever done. We Are Smug, check! All his Madonna covers, check! His tribute and duets with Delta Goodrem, check. This…this is perhaps the most seamless and beautiful covers I’ve heard him perform that seems like his own writing style. So good!

@Tamalama88
