Eye to Eye
Freedom Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
It always leads to confrontation
Your helping hand comes always too late
Is that your faith or consternation
Tourist trades are ever-growing
Concrete jungles overflowing
We're breeding greed and revolution
Is this what we're leaving behind?
Why don't you have any imagination
Even if you're in the same situation
Why put your paperwork before humanity?
When we seek out information
We never draw our own conclusion
The bourgeoisie has sealed our world's fate
It yields no conflict resolution
All the children of the East
They always do their best
To defeat the human beast
And cross the boarder to the West
But in all this mad confusion
The number of deceased
Divides them from the rest
Is this what we have on our mind?
Why don't you have any imagination?
Even if you're in the same situation
Why put your paperwork before humanity?
(We see through your invisible eyes)
Powerful images in all the papers
Our bodies lay on the ground spreading their vapours
Insanity disguised as pure normality
(We see through your invisible eyes)
How did we get there?
Will you ever listen?
So much ignorance
Inhumane rejection
What is going on?
Can you hear our voices?
We just have no reason
And no explanation
Why don't you have any imagination?
Even if you're in the same situation
Why put your paperwork before humanity?
(We see through your invisible eyes)
Powerful images in all the papers
Our bodies lay on the ground spreading their vapours
Insanity disguised as pure normality
(We see through your invisible eyes)
(We see through your invisible eyes)
(We see through your invisible eyes)
The first verse of "Eye to Eye" sheds light on the consequences of lacking imagination. The lyricist says that it approaches a confrontation that cannot be resolved until it's too late to accept the helping hand offered in the form of faith or consternation. The second part of "Eye to Eye" talks about how we are blindly following materialistic growth while neglecting the internal growth of the soul. Our touristic trades take priority over everything else, cities expanding and overflowing. In this race behind profit, we forget to care for one another, sowing hatred and discord, which results in the production of the seeds of greed and revolution.
The second verse talks about a lack of compassion and an inability to deduce one's reasoning. We're not analyzing the information provided and relying blindly on what others have stated as the truth. The bourgeoisie has sealed the globe's fate, and it possesses no conflict resolution. The last part of the verse talks about how men are trying to flee to the west in search of a better life, but the costs of the journey are just too high. The mad disturbance caused by bombs, guns, and the number of deaths divides those who survived from those who didn't. The chorus repeats that there's a lack of imagination, and people don't care for humanity, not even in the same situation.
Line by Line Meaning
When we lack imagination
The absence of creative thinking leads to conflicts
It always leads to confrontation
Confrontation is an inevitable result of lack of imagination
Your helping hand comes always too late
Assistance when delayed is of no use
Is that your faith or consternation
Is it due to belief or fear that you act this way?
Tourist trades are ever-growing
Exploitation of travel industry keeps increasing
Concrete jungles overflowing
Urban development causes overpopulation and environmental degradation
We're breeding greed and revolution
The fostering of excessive ambition and resistance
The seeds of hatred that we're sowing
The negative emotions we nurture are leading to damaging outcomes
Is this what we're leaving behind?
Is this the legacy we want to bequeath?
Why don't you have any imagination
Why is your creative ability lacking?
Even if you're in the same situation
Despite facing similar circumstances
Why put your paperwork before humanity?
Why prioritize bureaucracy over empathy for fellow humans?
When we seek out information
We attempt to acquire knowledge
We never draw our own conclusion
We rely too heavily on external sources for interpretation
The bourgeoisie has sealed our world's fate
The wealthy class has determined the destiny of our planet
It yields no conflict resolution
Their decisions do not provide solutions to struggles
All the children of the East
Youth of regions in Asia, Middle East, and Africa
They always do their best
They strive to achieve their goals
To defeat the human beast
To overcome the destructive behavior of humankind
And cross the boarder to the West
To reach better opportunities in developed nations
But in all this mad confusion
Despite the chaos
The number of deceased
The amount of casualties
Divides them from the rest
Sets them apart from others due to loss and trauma
Is this what we have on our mind?
Is this what occupies our thoughts?
Powerful images in all the papers
Impactful photographs and visuals displayed in media
Our bodies lay on the ground spreading their vapours
The aftermath of a fatal incident, spreading its toxins
Insanity disguised as pure normality
Mental instability posing as socially acceptable behaviour
(We see through your invisible eyes)
We are aware of the deceptive nature of the authorities’ actions
How did we get there?
What led us to this calamity?
Will you ever listen?
Will you pay attention to our pleas?
So much ignorance
Such a widespread lack of knowledge or understanding
Inhumane rejection
Heartless dismissal of human beings
What is going on?
What is the cause of the current state of affairs?
Can you hear our voices?
Are you listening to our cries for help?
We just have no reason
We lack any explanation
And no explanation
No understanding can be found
(We see through your invisible eyes)
We comprehend your deceitful tactics
Powerful images in all the papers
Influential pictures in various publications
Our bodies lay on the ground spreading their vapours
Our corpses emit toxic fumes as they decompose
Insanity disguised as pure normality
Mental instability hidden within perceived regularity
(We see through your invisible eyes)
We discern through your covert agenda
(We see through your invisible eyes)
We understand beyond what is shown or done overtly
