Eyes of Eden Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Ride through seas of dreams tonight
Our souls united
Don't wake up, please stay with me
Or we will be divided
And I fly
On the wings of love tonight
I'd rather die than open my eyes
(I'll never die...)
Sad eyes
Burning their picture
In my heart
The pain will never die
Tears I cry
But they won't save you...you...
And my love will burn forever on
And I fly
Softly through your mind tonight
Our souls united
And I can feel your heart beats like mine
And we are one
My heart is bearing
(Don't wake up! Don't wake up!)
The pain of thousand tears gone by
Sad eyes
Burning their picture
In my heart
The pain will never die
Tears I cry
But they won't save you...you...
And my love will burn forever on
The lyrics to Eyes of Eden's song, "Pictures," describe a dreamlike state that the singer is experiencing in which they are riding through "seas of dreams" and flying "on the wings of love." They express a desire for their soul to remain united with their loved one and a fear that they will be "divided" if they wake up. The lyrics go on to describe the singer's sadness and the burning pain in their heart caused by memories of a lost love. Despite their tears and the inability for them to save the person they love, the singer's love will "burn forever on."
The lyrics of the song evoke a sense of emotional vulnerability through the use of vivid and poetic language to describe the singer's feelings. The dreamlike imagery in the song suggests that the singer is in a state of heightened emotion, perhaps even bordering on obsession, and they are struggling to come to terms with their feelings. This internal conflict is expressed through the repetition of the line "Sad eyes, burning their picture in my heart" which emphasizes the pain that the singer is experiencing.
