Eyes
Laurie Freelove Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Eyes are guides
Tone eyes call
Tell me anything
Say it, anything, well
Eyes want to know
What's that in your eyes?
What's that in your face?
Words you never make?
Eyes, touching
Eyes, talking
Talking talking talking over
Looking looking looking under
Breath so low wind my way
You'll walk away from me
But leave me completely - no - well
Eyes, like memories on my skin
Do I touch your face?
Do I take your hand
Do I say the things that
We both understand?
Eyes, touching
Eyes, talking
Talking talking talking over
Looking looking looking under
Eyes
The song "Eyes" by Laurie Freelove seems to be about the power and importance of eye contact and communication through the eyes. The lyrics suggest that eyes are guides, calling through their tone and expressing a desire to know more about the person they are looking at. The singer asks what is in the other person's eyes and face, as well as in the words they don't speak - there seems to be a desire to understand more through nonverbal cues. The eyes are also described as touching and talking, suggesting a deep emotional connection that goes beyond speech. The lines "breath so low wind my way, you'll walk away from me but leave me completely" hint at the idea that even when someone physically leaves, the lingering memory of their gaze and connection remains, like a memory on the skin.
Overall, the song seems to be celebrating the power and intimacy of eye contact, and the way that it can communicate deep emotions and desires. The repetition of the phrase "talking talking talking over, looking looking looking under" suggests that there is always more to be discovered and understood through the eyes, and that this form of communication is rich and multifaceted.
