In Your Eyes
Gavin Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

We starve-look at one another
Short of breath
Walking proudly in our winter coats
Wearing smells from laboratories
Facing a dying nation
Of moving paper fantasy
Listening for the new told lies
With supreme visions of lonely tunes

Somewhere inside something
There is a rush of
Greatness, who knows what stands in front of
Our lives? I fashion my future
On films in space
Silence tells me secretly
Everything
Everything

Manchester England England
Manchester England England (eyes look your last)
Across the Atlantic Sea (arms take your last embrace)
And I'm a genius genius (and lips oh you the doors)
I believe in God (of breath, seal with)
And I believe that God (a righteous kiss)
Believes in Claude (seal with a righteous kiss)
That's me, that's me (the rest is silence)
That's me (the rest is silence)
(The rest is silence)

We starve-look
At one another
Short of breath
Walking proudly in our winter coats
Wearing smells from laboratories

Facing a dying nation
Of moving paper fantasy
Listening for the new told lies
With supreme visions of lonely tunes

Singing
Our space songs on a spider web sitar
Life is around you and in you
Answer for Timothy Leary, dearie

Let the sunshine
Let the sunshine in
The sunshine in
Let the sunshine
Let the sunshine in
The sunshine in
Let the sunshine
Let the sunshine in
The sun shine in

(Let the sun shine)

Let the sunshine (let the sunshine on in)
Let the sunshine in (yeah)
The sunshine in (open up your heart)
Let the sunshine (open up your heart)
Let the sunshine in (yeah, yeah)
The sunshine in (let it in)
Let the sunshine (let it in, let it in)
Let the sunshine in (let it in, yeah)
The sun shine in

Let the sunshine




Let the sunshine in
The sunshine in

Overall Meaning

The lyrics to Gavin and Nox's song In Your Eyes Feat. Sinatic describe a sense of disillusionment with the state of the world around us. The first stanza portrays a society where people are disconnected from each other, with a dying nation and new told lies. However, there is a rush of greatness within us all, and the singer chooses to fashion their future on films in space, which represents hope and a brighter future. The song then transitions to a reference to Manchester, England, and the singer proclaims their belief in God and their own genius, before the song ends with a call to "let the sunshine in".


These lyrics explore themes of isolation, disillusionment, and hope. The imagery of winter coats and laboratory smells represent a world that is cold and scientific, lacking in humanity and warmth. However, the rush of greatness within us all represents hope and a desire for more in life. The reference to Manchester, England highlights the singer's personal connection to the city while also contrasting with the general sense of isolation in the rest of the song. The call to let the sunshine in represents a desire for warmth, love, and hope to enter our lives.


Line by Line Meaning

We starve-look at one another
We stare at each other, desperate for connection


Short of breath
Feeling anxious and out of our depth


Walking proudly in our winter coats
We're putting on a brave face despite feeling worn down


Wearing smells from laboratories
Our perfumes and colognes are artificial, like our lives


Facing a dying nation
We're living in a society that's losing its way


Of moving paper fantasy
Our reality is becoming increasingly abstract and disconnected


Listening for the new told lies
We're constantly seeking out the next big thing, even if it's untrue


With supreme visions of lonely tunes
We're holding onto grand visions that only lead to isolation


Somewhere inside something
Deep within ourselves, there's a hidden potential


There is a rush of greatness, who knows what stands in front of our lives?
We have the power to achieve greatness, but we don't know what's ahead


I fashion my future on films in space
I look to science fiction to give me hope for a better future


Silence tells me secretly everything
I often gain insights through quiet reflection


Manchester England England
A sense of longing or nostalgia for a place that doesn't quite exist


Across the Atlantic Sea
The distance separating us from our dreams


And I'm a genius genius
I see myself as highly intelligent or creative


I believe in God
I have faith in a higher power


And I believe that God believes in Claude
I believe that something greater than myself has faith in me


That's me, that's me
I accept myself for who I am


We starve-look at one another
We're still struggling to connect with one another


Short of breath
Our anxiety continues to affect us


Walking proudly in our winter coats
Despite our struggles, we're still trying to put on a brave face


Wearing smells from laboratories
Our artificiality and disconnection continues to define our lives


Facing a dying nation
Our society is still struggling to find its way


Of moving paper fantasy
Our reality is even more disconnected and abstract than before


Listening for the new told lies
We're still seeking out the next big thing, even though we know it's untrue


With supreme visions of lonely tunes
Our grand visions are still leading to isolation


Singing our space songs on a spider web sitar
We're trying to find beauty and meaning in the chaos of life


Life is around you and in you
There's beauty and meaning in every moment, if we're willing to see it


Answer for Timothy Leary, dearie
A reference to the 1960s counterculture


Let the sunshine
We're embracing life and all its possibilities


Let the sunshine in
We're opening ourselves up to new experiences and perspectives


The sunshine in
We're seeing the beauty in everything around us


Let the sunshine on in
We're inviting positivity and light into our lives


Open up your heart
We're encouraging vulnerability and emotional openness


The rest is silence
An acknowledgement that we can't control everything, and that some things are beyond our understanding
