Eagle Eyes
Felix Jaehn Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
My, my, my eagle eyes
Marching down the street in my lightning feet
And the shine's too fine to be real
Fake it so I care for the glisten and the glare
And now it's something I'm starting to feel
My, my, my eagle eyes
I caught with my eagle eyes
Oh, oh, ah, my eagle eyes
My, my, my eagle eyes
Oh
My, my, my eagle eyes
Left it up to the great wide open
To find out the places I'd be
In my sleep they were growing all the time
And now they've grown too far for me
I didn't know how to wait out the ages
So I wrecked my only way through
Blind bravery forgets the wars it wages
But I'll fight just to see if it's true
Oh, oh, ah, my eagle eyes
My, my, my eagle eyes
Oh, oh, ah, my eagle eyes
My, my, my eagle eyes
Oh, oh, ah, my eagle eyes
My, my, my eagle eyes
Left it up to the great wide open
To find out the places I'd be
In my sleep they were growing all the time
And now they've grown too far for me
I didn't know how to wait out the ages
So I wrecked my only way through
Blind bravery forgets the wars it wages
But I'll fight just to see if it's true
Oh, oh, ah, my eagle eyes
My, my, my eagle eyes
Oh, oh, ah, my eagle eyes
My, my, my eagle eyes
Oh, oh, ah, my eagle eyes
My, my, my eagle eyes
Oh, oh, ah, my eagle eyes
My, my, my eagle eyes
Oh, oh, ah, my eagle eyes
The lyrics of "Eagle Eyes" by Felix Jaehn feat. Lost Frequencies & Linying speak of the journey of self-discovery and the struggles that come along the way. The song starts with the singer marching forward with lightning feet, determined to move ahead in life. The shine and the glare in his path are too mesmerizing to be true, pushing him to fake the care for them, which eventually leads to starting to feel the pull of it all. The repetition of "my eagle eyes" emphasizes his focus and clarity, like an eagle ready to soar high.
However, the singer realizes that he has left everything up to the "great wide open," hoping to find his place but, he unknowingly keeps growing further apart from it all. He didn't know how to wait for the right time and eventually wrecked his only way through, but his blind bravery pushes him to fight, to see if the truth is worth it. The lyrics deeply convey the struggles and doubts that come along the path of self-discovery, emphasizing the importance of perseverance and faith even in the toughest of times.
