Believe Your Eyes
Nine Lashes Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Strange the color seems to change
So crystal is the world we view
Wait I feel it changing state
Dripping what we thought we knew (we thought we knew)
Its all rushing to me

Can anybody see
You won't believe your eyes
A stranger to me
You won't believe your eyes

Rain the subtle shades of grey
Have often found their way from here (their way from here)
The sound of colors streaming down
Is inches from the heart I hear (the heart I hear)
If I I could just let it in

Can anybody see
You won't believe your eyes
A stranger to me
You won't believe your eyes

Its just what I know that I've lost
I'm a stranger here and its time I be letting it go
Off to the sky
Find me the way
Oh this feeling of mine
Of mine

Can anybody see
You won't believe your eyes




A stranger to me
You won't believe your eyes

Overall Meaning

The lyrics of Nine Lashes's song Believe Your Eyes speak to the theme of change and how the world and our perceptions can shift unexpectedly. The opening lines describe how the color of the world can appear different from what we initially perceive it to be, and how what we think we know can be challenged. This sudden shift in perspective is portrayed as something that is felt rather than seen, with the line "Wait I feel it changing state" indicating a sense of unease and instability.


The chorus of the song repeats the line "You won't believe your eyes" and "A stranger to me", which can be interpreted as a reaction to the changes occurring in the world and within ourselves. The rain and colors in the following verses represent emotions and feelings that can be difficult to express, but are still present and influencing us. The line "if I could just let it in" suggests a desire to be open to these emotions and experiences, rather than suppressing or ignoring them.


The final verse speaks to the idea of letting go of what we know and embracing something new, symbolized by the metaphor of ascending to the sky. The line "I'm a stranger here and it's time I be letting it go" represents a realization that what we are familiar with may not be what we need, and that we must be willing to step out of our comfort zones to find what we truly need.


Overall, Believe Your Eyes is a contemplative song about change, emotions, and the need to have an open mind and heart.
