In Your Eyes
Dream State Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
I see
The good you see in me
And your touch on my skin
Feels like home again
I'm falling to a place I've never been
I never thought I'd be
Take me to this place
And make me understand
Oh it's easy for me to take your hand
In your eyes
I see
In ways I've never seen
And your kiss on my lips
Never knew I could feel like this
I'm falling to a place I've never been
I never thought I'd be
So I'll take a breath, take me to this place
And make me understand
Oh it's easy for me to take your hand
[repeat chorus]
Make me understand
Why it's easy for me to take your hand
The song "In Your Eyes" by Dream State is a love song about the profound connection felt between two people. The lyrics are filled with emotive imagery and metaphors that portray this connection in a powerful and relatable way. The opening lines "In your eyes, I see/The good you see in me" suggest that the singer is deeply in love with their partner, who they feel sees them in a way that nobody else does. They feel truly understood and appreciated.
The next lines, "And your touch on my skin/Feels like home again" further emphasizes the strong emotional bond between the two. The singer feels completely at ease and comfortable when their partner touches them, as if they are returning to a safe and familiar place. They describe how they are "falling to a place [they've] never been," which can be interpreted as a metaphor for being enlightened or changed by being with their partner.

I've got a confession
I've got a secret
On the tip of my tongue and it's bleeding out
You know I've got my reasons
This suffocating feeling
And the voice in my head is bleeding out
And I don't think that I'll ever really change
This is not how I'm made
'Cause I think I've lost half my mind
Fighting my addiction
I've been killing, wasting time
I'm not alright
And I can do it if I want to
I can do it if I want to
I don't care if it hurts me
I care if I hurt you
I care if I hurt you
Blinded by these white lines
Feeling like I'm divine
Never reaching cloud nine
And I feel like giving up
Enough's never enough
I divorced all my love
Why won't you give up?
Why won't you give up?
'Cause I don't think that I'll ever really change
This is not how I'm made
'Cause I think I've lost half my mind
Fighting my addiction
I've been killing, wasting time
I'm not alright
And I can do it if I want to
I can do it if I want to
I don't care if it hurts me
I care if I hurt you
I need help
I've gotten myself lost again
I can't do it on my own
I don't know what to do
Please don't go
Just help me
I can't do this on my own
Stay
Stay with me
Stay
Stay with me
I think I've lost half my mind
Fighting my addictions
I've been chasing the white light
I'm not, I'm not alright.
And I can do it if I want to
You know I'll do it if I want to
'Cause I don't care if it hurts me
I care if I hurt you
With my white lines
And my white lies
My white lines
My white lies
