Purple Eyes
Fact Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

A burned glass
Traces a picture of the sky
A line between the points
Leads me to the dark night
The distorted sound
The distorted light
Reality through haze
A justice disguised

Just about to burst
Beyond the pupil of the eyes
It strikes the heart unveiled
A bird forced to fly
Before you woke up from your dream
Raise the sunlight from the horizon

About to freeze
Dance with the instinct




Come closer to me
To tell you that isn't easy
