Eye In The Sky
Noa And The Solis String Quartet 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]

Instead, they want their partner to take responsibility for their actions and not try to deflect blame by "turning tables."
The singer is well aware of their partner's actions in the past, and they're not willing to give them another chance to make mistake after mistake.

The singer believes that their partner is lying to them and will not continue believing the lies, despite what they might see.

They can read their partner's mind and are the maker of the rules in the relationship, dealing with fools who might try to deceive them. The singer can "cheat" or outsmart their partner, showing that they have the upper hand in the relationship. At the end of the song, the singer decides to move on from the relationship because they can't keep believing the lies, even if it means dealing with false illusions and seeing their ex with someone else.

Some of the lies
Some of your deceptions
While all of the signs are deceiving
When all the evidence points to the opposite of what you say
[Chorus]
The chorus repeats the previous ideas
