EYES
Lost Outrider Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Rain falls and we're running out of light
I take your hand and guide you into the night
We make haste and I see your vacant stare
I ask questions but I know that you're not there
Lets find a way to see this through
Don't look down
You look at me with eyes that could cut glass
Don't you know that I'd break down walls with you? for you?
You know we don't have far to go
A sunrise and soon we'll be home
We're so close and nearly out of sight
Tonight
We make haste and I see your vacant stare
I ask questions but I know that you're not there
Lets find a way to see this through
Don't look down
You look at me with eyes that could cut glass
Then look away when I say it's in the past
Don't you know that I'd break down walls with you? for you?
You look at me with eyes that could cut glass
Then look away when I say it's in the past
Don't you know that I'd break down walls with you? for you?
You look at me with eyes that could cut glass
Then look away when I say it's in the past
Don't you know that I'd break down walls with you? for you?
You look at me with eyes that could cut glass
Then look away when I say it's in the past
Don't you know that I'd break down walls with you? for you?
The lyrics of the Lost Outrider's song "Eyes" depict a story of two people caught in the rain, running out of light, rushing towards home. The singer sees their partner clutching the jacket tight while leading them into the night. Despite concerns, the singer wants to figure it out together, to break down walls for each other. However, the partner seems to be lost in thought, in a vacant stare, impervious to questions. When the singer looks into their eyes, they appear sharp and dangerous, like they could cut glass. Though, whenever the singer tries to move ahead and talk about the past, the partner looks away.
The song evokes a sense of urgency and desperation in the singer. The rain, darkness, and vacant stare add to the gloominess of the lyrics. The singer seems to be trying too hard to save the relationship while the partner appears to have given up, hinting that it's time to move on. The song highlights the power of communication break-downs and how the inability to deal with emotions can lead to friction, ultimately undermining the strength of a bond.
