I'd Do Anything
Eyeshine Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Inside of mind, out of line
Let it die
Hang on, into the night
We live to fight
But is it right?
Let's hope there's more to these white-washed walls
Overcome to an afterlife, overrun 'til we're out of time
Catch a piece of the rain as it falls
Let's hope there's more to these white-washed walls
Overcome to an afterlife, overrun 'till we're out of time
Our we on our own
Looking for a home
We're so alone
I feel you in me
I'd do anything
To hold you near me, to have you hear me
I feel you in me
I'd do anything
To hold you here with me...
I look up to you
Steal me away with you
'Till one becomes the two
Be my center, it will be much better
I look up to you
Steal me away with you
'Till one becomes the two
Be my center, it will be much better
I look up to you
Steal me away with you
'Cause we're so alone
I feel you in me
I'd do anything
To hold you near me, to have you hear me
I feel you in me
I'd do anything
To hold you, here with me
I can't believe it's closer
I can't believe it's closer
Steal me away with you
Steal me away with you
The first verse of Eyeshine's song "I'd Do Anything" sets the scene for a journey into the mind and the questioning of what is right. The light within the mind represents a realization or epiphany that may be outside of the norm or mainstream. However, the singer suggests to let this realization "die," perhaps indicating that such deep thoughts can be more of a curse than a blessing. The second verse poses the question of whether fighting is indeed the right way to live. The chorus suggests a desire for connection and companionship, with the singer feeling the presence of another within themselves, and expressing the willingness to do "anything" to have that person close. The last few lines repeat the desire for escape with that person, emphasizing the loneliness felt by the singer.
The bridge continues the theme of wanting to escape and find a new "home," and the repetition of the desire to “hold” and “be with” the other person suggests that it is only through their companionship that the singer will find that sense of belonging. The final lines repeat the desire to be "stolen away" to an unknown destination, perhaps representing a longing for a fresh start or a lack of direction in life.
Overall, the song seems to touch on the universal feelings of loneliness, longing for connection, and the desire for escape. The lyrics suggest a sense of vulnerability and desperation, but also a determination to find a way to overcome these feelings.

I love Johnny! He's such a good singer, but I can't help but kinda think of Ichigo and a few other characters when I hear his voice...
knux89
Yes that's right, he does a lot of anime and video game voice acting now. He plays Ichigo in Bleach, and he also plays Nero in Devil May Cry 4
