They're Gonna Be Looking At You
Frank Mccomb Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Verse 1
No matter how hard you try you can't get out.
The walls are much too wide to go around.
They stand so tall you can't climb over
and in the ground so deep you can't crawl under,
Hook
They're gonna be lookin' at you
no matter where you run to
until you face the truth.
they're gonna be lookin' at you.
Be careful of the things you do.
Your freedom's all up to you.
Verse 2
You're pounding on the walls searching for a hollow tone
just thinkin' you've found a way to find the door that locked you in.
The harder you hit the more impatient you're gonna get.
So take it from a brotha knows
goin' that route you're never gonna win.
Bridge
Outside is where you wanna be.
You wanna free to set your mind at ease.
Eventually energy, you'll have no more and your body will soon be worn.
Searchin' for some peace of mind
it's gonna be so hard to find
until you change your life.
All eyes are gonna be on you
No matter where you run to
Because if the kind of things you do.
(Hook, tag and end)

The lyrics to Frank McComb's song "They're Gonna Be Looking at You" are an introspective exploration of self-imposed limitations and the struggle to break free from them. The first verse sets the tone for the theme of the song, with the metaphorical description of the walls that are too wide to go around, too tall to climb over and too deep to crawl under. The imagery used here represents the obstacles and challenges that we often encounter on our life's journey. These challenges can seem insurmountable at times, and it can be challenging to find a way forward.
The chorus contains a warning to be mindful of the things we do and the impact they have on others. The idea that "they're gonna be looking at you" suggests that we are under a watchful eye, and our actions have consequences. Therefore, we must be careful about the choices we make and how we conduct ourselves.
Verse two describes the frustration that can result from trying to escape our self-imposed limitations. The idea of pounding on the walls searching for a hollow tone is symbolic of the struggle to break free from our perceived confines. The message here is that the harder we try to escape our limitations, the more we become trapped in them. The bridge addresses the desire for freedom and the search for peace of mind. The idea that energy will eventually run out creates a sense of urgency to make changes and take action.
Overall, "They're Gonna Be Looking at You" is a reminder that our actions have consequences, and we should be mindful of the choices we make. The song encourages us to break free from our limitations and take control of our lives, ultimately leading to a more fulfilled and peaceful existence.

Such a shame that REAL talent doesnt always get the accolade deserving of it. Frank is a great artist writing and composing all his tracks. I like the harmonies on this track in the mid section 1:55 to 2:40. Enjoy. TURN IT UP LOUD and share it. Thats how we can get REAL talent out there.
