Eye for a Day
Helalyn Flowers Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Show me your reaction
Maybe it is your awakening
In a broken hug, you see...

Show me your reaction
Maybe it is your awakening
And nobody let you see...
Break the time
And describe what you feel
Are you still one sun
In a violent eclipse?

Let me fly through your valley of dreams
So that I can believe
That nobody let you see...
(What is appearing to me)

You're so dangerous 'cause you can't lie
You can penetrate my soul
Eye for a day, to catch everything around
You're the channel to let me know

Look to these eyes
Slide through the feelings

Face your face and taste what is happening
Taste the best to face what is in your head

You're so dangerous 'cause you can't lie
You can penetrate my soul
Eye for a day, to catch everything around
You're the channel to let me know





Ah, ah...show me your reaction

Overall Meaning

The song "Eye for a Day" by Helalyn Flowers talks about the theme of awakening and introspection, and how a person's reaction or response to a situation can reveal a lot about their true self. The lyrics use metaphors, such as "in a broken hug, you see" and "you're the channel to let me know," to describe the deep and intimate nature of the emotions being explored. The overall tone of the song is reflective and contemplative, with a strong emphasis on self-discovery and understanding.


The repeated line "you're so dangerous 'cause you can't lie" suggests that honesty and authenticity are highly valued in this song's worldview. The idea that someone who cannot lie is "dangerous" perhaps stems from the notion that honesty can be uncomfortable or difficult, but ultimately leads to growth and healing. The line "let me fly through your valley of dreams" implies a desire to understand the inner workings of someone else's mind, and to gain insight into their experiences.


One interesting aspect of this song is the way the vocals are layered and harmonized, creating a haunting and ethereal sound that matches the introspective tone of the lyrics. The use of synthesizers and electronic beats adds to the dreamlike, otherworldly quality of the music. Additionally, Helalyn Flowers is a Belgian-Italian band that has been active since 2005, and "Eye for a Day" is from their 2011 album "White Me In/Black Me Out."


Overall, "Eye for a Day" is a thought-provoking and emotionally charged song that delves into the complexities of human emotion and self-discovery.
