Eyes without a face
Idol Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
One more bad break
Could bring a fall
When I'm far from home
Don't call me on the phone
To tell me you're alone
It's easy to tease
But hard to get release
(Les yeux sans visage)
Eyes without a face
(Les yeux sans visage)
Eyes without a face
(Les yeux sans visage)
Eyes without a face
Got no human grace
You're eyes without a face
I spend so much time
Believing all the lies
Keep the dream alive
Now it makes me sad
It makes me mad at truth
For loving what was you
(Les yeux sans visage)
Eyes without a face
(Les yeux sans visage)
Eyes without a face
(Les yeux sans visage)
Eyes without a face
Got no human grace
You're eyes without a face (face, face, face)
When you hear the music, you make a dip
Into someone else's pocket then make a slip
Steal a car and go to Las Vegas
Ooh, the gigolo pool
Hanging out by the state line
Turning holy water into wine
Drinkin' it down, oh, oh-oh, ow
I'm on a bus on a psychedelic trip
Reading murder books, tryin' to stay hip
I'm thinkin' of you, you're out there, so
Say your prayers
Say your prayers
Say your prayers (ooh)
Now I close my eyes
And I wonder why
I don't despise
Now all I can do
Love what was once
So alive in you
But it's gone from your eyes
I better realize
(Les yeux sans visage)
Eyes without a face
(Les yeux sans visage)
Eyes without a face
(Les yeux sans visage)
Eyes without a face
Got no human grace
You're eyes without a face
Such a human waste
You're eyes without a face (face, face, face)
And now it's getting worse
The song Eyes Without a Face by Idol has an underlying sense of melancholy and loss to it. The first stanza indicates that the singer is feeling hopeless, fragile, and at the brink of a fall. He/she is mistrustful of others, and does not want to hear about someone else's loneliness over the phone. What could be perceived as care and empathy by others, only feels like an emotional burden to the singer, who can't afford to invest in emotions at the moment.
The song then rapidly moves towards a memory of a deceitful relationship. The second verse reveals that the singer invested time in believing what turned out to be lies which kept him/her going in the relationship with someone else. But now, when the truth dawns, he/she is filled with sadness and anger at having invested emotions into someone who was only interested in an illusion. The phrase “eyes without a face” refers to the object of the singer's love, who is no longer human to him/her.
The song is about the pain of losing someone who you thought was ‘the one’.The “Eyes Without a Face” could refer to the fact that the person they miss is no longer human to them because they’re no longer in their life. Lights go out, doors close, communication ceases to exist between them. The person that the song’s narrator was in love with is no longer human to them. The chorus repeats three times, and the song ends with an extension of the chorus, featuring repeat of the phrase “such a human waste,” emphasizing that the promise of love and connection through the eyes is now dashed.

It makes me mad at truth
It frustrates me at the concept of reality
For loving what was you
For being attached to what you used to be
When you hear the music, you make a dip
When you hear the music, you dance in a particular way
Into someone else's pocket then make a slip
You steal somebody's money and run away
You steal a car and go to Las Vegas
You steal a car and drive to Las Vegas
Ooh, gigolo cool
Exhibiting qualities of a gigolo, which is flashy and cool
Hanging out by the state line
Chilling near the border of the state
Turning holy water into wine
Metaphorically accepting what is pure and making it into something impure
Drinkin' it down, oh, oh-oh, ow
Drinking it all down with enthusiasm and possibly pain
I'm on a bus on a psychedelic trip
I am on a bus and experiencing a mind-altering journey
Reading murder books, tryin' to stay hip
Reading books about murder to appear trendy
I'm thinkin' of you, you're out there, so
I am thinking of you, and you are out there, somewhere
Say your prayers
I instruct you to recite your prayers
Now I close my eyes
Now I shut my eyes
And I wonder why
And I question why
I don't despise
I do not hate
Now all I can do
Now, all that is left for me to do
Love what was once
To love what used to be
So alive in you
Which used to characterize you
But it's gone from your eyes
However, you have lost that quality
I better realize
I should understand
Such a human waste
It is a loss of a person's humanity
You're eyes without a face
There is no personality left
