Eye In The Sky
Parsons/Woolfson Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Don't think sorry's easily said
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 thinkin'
Don't say words you're gonna regret
Don't let the fire rush to your head
I've heard the accusation before
And I ain't gonna take any more
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 any more
To know that
I can read your mind, I can read your mind
I can read your mind, I can read your mind

Don't leave false illusions behind
Don't Cry cause I ain't chnaging 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)

However, the singer admits that a part of them understands what the other person is thinking.


The chorus of the song highlights the singer's power over this person, as they claim to be the "eye in the sky" who can read their mind and make the rules. They warn that they can deceive this person as easily as they can read their mind, and that they do not need to witness any further action in order to understand what is happening.
