Million Eyes
Loic Nottet Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
You're such a freak
It's what people say to me
Different, too different
I'm scared of judgement
Your insults and your slanders stick on to me
Yes with your million eyes you're watching me
You spy on me
So I scream and shout to make you leave
But you're still here, you keep judging me
With your million eyes, eyes!
Drowning I'm drowning in that clown's mask
To make you laugh at my thousand flaws
Alone when I'm all alone I take my smile off
But your heartless words have left me scars
'Cause with your million eyes you're watching me
You talk behind my back
You spy on me
So I scream and shout to make you leave
But you're still here, you keep judging me
'Cause with your million eyes you're watching me
You talk behind my back
You spy on me
So I scream and shout to make you leave
But you're still here, you keep judging me
With your million eyes, eyes!
'Cause with your million eyes you're watching me
You talk behind my back
You spy on me
So I scream and shout to make you leave
But you're still here
'Cause with your million eyes you're watching me
You talk behind my back
You spy on me
So I scream and shout to make you leave
But you're still here, you keep judging me
'Cause with your million eyes you're watching me
You talk behind my back
You spy on me
So I scream and shout to make you leave
But you're still here, you keep judging me

The chorus continues to reinforce the idea that the singer cannot escape being watched, even if they try to push others away. The line, "So I scream and shout to make you leave, but you're still here, you keep judging me," conveys a sense of hopelessness and frustration that is present throughout the song. The lyrics also touch on the impacts of the constant judgment, with the line, "Your heartless words have left me scars." The song ends with a repeated message that despite the singer's attempts to escape judgment, it still persists.
