EYES LOVE YOU
Hide Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

赤い瞳は ソドムの街で
美しい女を 採集する
針で止めた 蝶や蛾の様に
動けないおまえは 俺の物
心なんて 要らない
生きた指に 触れたくない My Love

青い瞳は 夜に渦巻く
絶望と狂気の モザイク
闇に 舐め回されて
薔薇を 濡らせ
Eyes love you,
but my heart can't love you so
残像の ヴィーナス
My eyes love you 恋をしよう
夢幻(まぼろし)の 部屋で
Eyes love you 瞳が今
切り取った おまえ
My eyes love you 涙の中
閉じ込めて
It's my dream 溺れさせたい

...妄想(ゆめ)を裁く 法律などない
さっき天使の首を絞めて
聞き出した
愛は 滅びたらしい
心なんて 要らない
人を知れば 誰もが哀しい
Eyes love you,
but my heart can't love you so
残像の ヴィーナス
My eyes love you 恋をしよう
夢幻(まぼろし)の 部屋で
Eyes love you 瞳が今
切り取った おまえ
My eyes love you




涙の中 閉じ込めて
It's my dream 溺れさせたい

Overall Meaning

The first verse of the song "Eyes Love You" by Hide talks about the singer's obsession with a beautiful woman who is like a butterfly or moth pinned down by a needle, and therefore cannot move. He claims that her red eyes are used to collect beautiful women in the city of Sodom. This verse portrays the woman as trapped, unable to escape the singer's possessive gaze, and highlights the duality of the situation; while the woman is compared to a butterfly, indicating fragility and beauty, she is also likened to a pinned bug, indicating entrapment and submission.


In the second verse, the singer's obsession turns darker. He describes his blue eyes swirling in despair and madness, as he is consumed by the darkness of the night. He wants to drown the woman in his dream, lock her up in a room of illusions and keep her in his tears forever. This love is one-sided, and he knows that his heart cannot love her back. The phrase "eyes love you" is repeated throughout the song, emphasizing the fixation on the woman's eyes, where he sees himself getting lost in his delusion.


The bridge of the song speaks about the singer's realization that love and hearts are no longer relevant to him, as he strangles an angel to find out about it. Being one of the most popular songs by Hide, it is a commentary on society's obsession with obsession itself, and the darker aspects of love.

I used to listen to this song everyday on my way to school. Unfortunately, I will never be able to do it again because this was my last year, and I lost its last few months because of Coronavirus.

When I'll have to hold my final exam, I will walk to school one last time with this song in my headphones, to cherish my High School memories.

EDIT 18/11/2022: I'm so happy that this old comment is stil occasionally getting replies. Keep rocking on, you guys!

I'm still doing well! I'm no longer listening to this song everyday because unfortunately my commute to uni isn't 6 minutes long like in High School. I'm also pretty happy to say that I graduated with 100/100
