EYES
High And Mighty Color Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

You left me paralyzed
No cure, no rehab for me
Funny that you got the nerve to keep askin' me
How I've been
You're the victor in this pageantry
But the only trophy you deserve, catastrophe
I'd rather we be dead to each other
No eulogies said for each other
No rest in peace's (in peace's)
The memories got my chest in pieces
I'm prayin' that your eyes are the first to go
The way they looked when you smiled, the way they opened and closed
Then your nose, every single breath against my neck
And then your lips, every empty promise made and said

Please fade (fade, fade), fade to black (fade to black)
Please fade (fade, fade), fade to black
But the nightmares come back

Because your eyes, nose, lips
Every look and every breath, every kiss
Still got me dyin', oh
Still got me cryin'
Because your eyes, nose, lips
Every look and every breath, every kiss
Still got me dyin', oh
Still got me cryin'

Forget a promenade
Let's juggernaut down memory lane
Leave no thought alive to the slaughterhouse
I'm takin' my pain
It's time to sever my brain from my heart and soul (heart and soul)
My knees are burnin' hot but god is cold
I've been told "one day, you'll know too much of heaven's a sin (heaven's a sin)
After the show, it's only hell that it brings (hell that it brings)
So take it slow and let time heal everything"
They say that time flies but you keep breakin' its wings
You'll never fade (fade, fade), fade to black (fade to black)

Please fade (fade, fade), fade to black
But the nightmares come back
Because your eyes, nose, lips
Every look and every breath, every kiss
Still got me dyin', oh
Still got me cryin'
Because your eyes, nose, lips
Every look and every breath, every kiss
Still got me dyin', oh
Still got me cryin'

You wish me well (you wish me well, you wish me well, you wish me)
You wish me well (you wish me well), I wish you hell

I never wanna look into your eyes again
No, I never wanna hear you breathe again
Let me go, let me go
Baby, tell me this is the end

Because your eyes, nose, lips
Every look and every breath, every kiss
Still got me dyin', oh
Still got me cryin'
The tears drive me out of my mind
Because your eyes, nose, lips
Every look and every breath, every kiss
Still got me dyin', oh
Still got me cryin'
Cryin', cryin





Good night

Overall Meaning

The lyrics of High and Mighty Color's song "Eyes" paint a picture of a person who is lost, feels trapped and is experiencing a sense of impending doom. The "teeth and white eyes" allude to a predatory creature, possibly a monster, that the person is trying to escape from. The phrase "lost all your reason, insanity" implies that this person has reached the brink of their sanity, maybe because of fear or panic caused by the creature that is chasing them.


The second verse of the song intensifies the tension and fear with the chilling phrase "chills up your neck, down your spine." It suggests the physical reactions that come when we feel fear. The song then goes on to describe the person's futile attempts to escape from the creature, saying "nowhere to run, could this be." The lyrics portray a feeling of hopelessness and despair as though the person feels that they cannot get away from the monster that is after them.


In the third verse, the song describes the feeling of being completely alone, forgotten or ignored by everyone else in the world, as evident in the line "no one could hear your last screams." The lyrics are anxiety-dripping, with the person feeling like they are about to die. The song ends with a sense of defeat and resignation that the person might not get away from the monster chasing them.
