EYES
King 810 Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

I have never felt like this
You and I were meant to be
This don't go away
I'll go to my grave about this
Cuz you had me believing till our final days

And right now I wanna die
When you put me in the ground go deep
If you aren't in my life
Let me lay down in the earth and sleep

Sleep it all away

My feet won't carry me no more
My mind don't see reason to go on like this
I have a heart built for war
But I have never fought no fucking war like this

And right now I wanna die
When you put me in the ground go deep
If you arent in my life
Let me lay down in the earth and sleep
And right now I wanna die
When you put me in the ground go deep
If you arent in my life
Let me lay down in the earth and sleep

Sleep it all away

And if god asks where my queen is
I'll tell him you didn't mean this
I'll tell him just what the truth is
I'll tell him that I was stupid
And if god asks where my queen is
I'll tell him you didn't mean this
I'll tell him just what the truth is
I'll tell him that I was stupid

And right now I wanna die
When you put me in the ground go deep
If you aren't in my life
Let me lay down in the earth and sleep
And right now I wanna die
When you put me in the ground go deep
If you aren't in my life
Let me lay down in the earth and sleep

Sleep it all away

And if god asks where my queen is
I'll tell him you didn't mean this




I'll tell him just what the truth is
I'll tell him that I was stupid

Overall Meaning

The lyrics to King 810's song "Eyes" convey a sense of desperation and heartbreak. The singer is deeply in love with someone who has left them, and they cannot bear to live without them. The opening lines of the song express the intense emotion that the singer is feeling - they have never experienced anything like this before, and they believe that they were meant to be with this person. However, despite their strong feelings, the relationship has ended, and the singer cannot come to terms with it. They are willing to take their love to the grave and cannot imagine a life without the person they love.


As the song progresses, the singer becomes increasingly distraught. They feel as though they cannot go on living without their beloved, and they contemplate suicide. They want to be buried deep in the ground if they cannot have the person they love, so they can sleep away the pain and the heartbreak. The sense of despair is palpable, with the repeated refrain of "sleep it all away" emphasizing the singer's desire to escape the pain they are feeling.


The final verse of the song adds a religious dimension - the singer imagines facing God and having to explain why their queen is not with them. They feel foolish for having believed in love and for trusting someone who has now abandoned them. The repetition of the lines "I'll tell him you didn't mean this, I'll tell him just what the truth is, I'll tell him that I was stupid" emphasizes the singer's shame and self-blame.


Overall, the lyrics of "Eyes" paint a bleak picture of heartbreak and despair. The raw emotion that King 810 expresses in this song is powerful, and the intensity of the lyrics is matched by the intense music.
