EYES
Karma Lyrics

These lyrics are from the chorus of Karma's song "Eyes," and they speak about the constant surveillance and judgment that the singer experiences from others. The first line, "All of those eyes that spy me," highlights the various people who are watching her every move. She then compares this scrutiny to death, saying "are all of these deaths that are running deep." This comparison suggests that the constant surveillance feels suffocating and potentially destructive to her mental well-being.

The next line, "Colored for a quick sign when they watch the cries," implies that those watching are quick to judge and assign meaning to the singer's emotional reactions. The following lines, "Of the same eyes, then they're going to testify," suggest that these people will use what they've seen to speak out against her in some way. The second half of the chorus repeats this sentiment, with the addition of the line "unleash cold suns," which could be interpreted as the harsh, judgmental attitudes of others.

The bridge of the song is more obscure, with phrases like "all luck in a staff" and "the five chalices locked in demented minds" creating a sense of mystery and confusion. However, the line "it's pure and simple, web of time, miracles upon a light" seems to indicate that despite the darkness and difficulty of the previous lines, there is still hope and wonder to be found.

Overall, these lyrics speak to the intense pressure that comes with feeling constantly watched and judged. The comparison to death creates a sense of urgency and weight, while the repetition of the same lines in the second half of the chorus adds to the feeling of being trapped and suffocated by the opinions of others.
