Eye In The Sky
James Farrelli Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Don't try turning tables instead
You've taken lots of Chances before
But I'm not gonna give anymore
Don't ask me
That's how it goes
Cause part of me knows what you're thinkin'
Don't say words you're gonna regret
I've heard the accusation before
And I ain't gonna take any more
Believe me
The sun in your Eyes
Made some of the lies worth believing
I am the eye in the sky
Looking at you
I can read your mind
I am the maker of rules
Dealing with fools
I can cheat you blind
And I don't need to see any more
To know that
I can read your mind, I can read your mind
Don't leave false illusions behind
Don't cry cause I ain't changing my mind
So find another fool like before
Cause I ain't gonna live anymore believing
Some of the lies while all of the signs are deceiving
I am the eye in the sky
Looking at you
I can read your mind
I am the maker of rules
Dealing with fools
I can cheat you blind
And I don't need to see any more
To know that
I can read your mind, I can read your mind
In James Farrelli's Eye in the Sky, the lyrics appear to be addressed to a person who has betrayed the singer in some way, perhaps by lying or being unfaithful. The singer warns this person not to try to apologize insincerely or try to shift blame onto the singer. The singer has given the person many chances before, but now they have reached their limit. The singer can read the person's mind and knows what they are thinking, so there is no point in trying to hide the truth or deny their actions. The accusations have been heard before, and the singer is no longer willing to put up with them. Despite this, the singer seems to have mixed emotions about the situation, perhaps because they once believed the person's lies.
The chorus features the famous line "I am the eye in the sky, looking at you/I can read your mind." Here, the singer takes on an almost omniscient tone, suggesting that they have a greater understanding of the situation than the person they are addressing. They are the "maker of rules" and can "cheat [them] blind" if they need to. This suggests that the singer may be in a position of power over the other person, perhaps as an authority figure, employer, or someone else with leverage. The singer does not need to see any more to know what is going on, which only reinforces the idea that they have some kind of supernatural insight into the situation. The singer ends the song by telling the person to move on and find someone else to deceive, as they will no longer fall for their lies.
