Eye In The Sky
Noa (Achinoam Nini) Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Don't try turning tables instead
You've taken lots of chances before
But I'm not gonna give anymore
Don't ask me
That's how it goes
'Cause part of me knows what you're thinking
Don't let the fire rush to your head
I've heard the accusation before
And I ain't gonna take anymore
Believe me
The sun in your eyes
Made some of the lies worth believing
[Chorus]
I am the eye in the sky
Looking at you
I can read your mind
I am the maker of rules
Dealing with fools
I can cheat you blind
And I don't need to see anymore
To know that
I can read your mind, I can read your mind
Don't leave false illusions behind
Don't cry 'cause I ain't changing my mind
So find another fool like before
'Cause I ain't gonna live anymore believing
Some of the lies
While all of the signs are deceiving
[Chorus]
The lyrics of Noa's song Eye in the Sky, delve into the themes of mistrust and lack of communication in a relationship. The opening lines 'Don't think sorry's easily said, Don't try turning tables instead' suggest that one person is trying to apologize, but the other person is not willing to listen and instead trying to shift the blame. The lines 'But I'm not gonna give anymore, Don't ask me, That's how it goes' indicates that the person who has been wronged has reached their limit and is unwilling to continue to suffer.
The chorus 'I am the eye in the sky, Looking at you, I can read your mind, I am the maker of rules, Dealing with fools, I can cheat you blind, And I don't need to see anymore, To know that, I can read your mind, I can read your mind' suggests that one person in the relationship is a vigilant observer who always knows what's going on in the other person's mind. They consider themselves to be the maker of rules and believe that they can outsmart the other person in the relationship, and they don't need to see anything more to know what's happening.
The lines 'Don't leave false illusions behind, Don't cry 'cause I ain't changing my mind' indicate that the relationship has reached a point of no return. The person who has been wronged is unwilling to believe in false pretenses anymore and won't be changing their mind. Overall, the song suggests a relationship that is lacking in communication and trust, causing one person to become an observer, always vigilant, and trying to outsmart the other.

I've LOVED Noa's version of "Eye In The Sky" since the first time I had ever heard it. It was on constant play-back on my CD car player 5 years ago. Your video has moved me more that you know. I believe this video is a montage to a lost love, forgive me if I am wrong. Your clips coupled with Noa's version of this song are simply beautiful. Thank you.
