Through Her Eyes
Pipo & Elo Lyrics

She never really had a chance
She was helpless and never had a fair opportunity to control what happened to her

On that fateful moonlit night
Hinting at some tragedy that happened on a particular night

Sacrificed without a fight
She was a victim who was forced to bear the tragedy without any ability to resist

A victim of her circumstance
She was not responsible for the circumstances that led to her tragedy

Now that I've become aware
The artist has gained some knowledge or insight about the tragedy

And I've exposed this tragedy
He has brought the tragedy to light or made it public knowledge

A sadness grows inside of me
The tragedy has deeply affected the singer emotionally

It all seems so unfair
The artist feels that the tragedy was unjust and undeserved

I'm learning all about my life
The artist is gaining perspective about his own life in the context of the tragedy

By looking through her eyes
The artist is trying to understand the tragedy from the victim's perspective

Just beyond the churchyard gates
Referring to a specific location associated with the tragedy

Where the grass is overgrown
Offering a visual description of the location

I saw the writing on her stone
Referring to an inscription on a gravestone

I felt like I would suffocate
The tragedy is so overwhelming that the singer feels suffocated by it

In loving memory of our child
The gravestone is a memorial for a beloved child

So innocent, eyes open wide
The child was pure and innocent, emphasizing the tragedy of her loss

I felt so empty as I cried
The artist is overwhelmed by the emotions of the tragedy

Like part of me had died
The singer feels a deep sense of loss and mourning

And as her image
The child's image or memory is powerful and remains with the singer

Wandered through my head
The image of the child is affecting the artist's thoughts and emotions

I wept just like a baby
The artist is deeply moved to the point of tears

As I lay awake in bed
The artist is unable to escape the emotional impact of the tragedy

And I know what it's like
The singer has had his own experiences with loss and grief

To lose someone you love
Referring to the universal experience of losing someone close

And this felt just the same
The singer is deeply affected by this particular tragedy

She wasn't given any choice
Emphasizing the victim's lack of control over her own destiny

Desperation stole her voice
Referring to the victim's inability to speak up or take action in her situation

I've been given so much more in life
The artist acknowledges his own blessings and privileges compared to the victim

I've got a son, I've got a wife
Referencing the artist's own family as a contrast to the victim's tragedy

I had to suffer one last time
The singer is going through his own mourning process related to the victim's tragedy

To grieve for her and say goodbye
The singer is working through his own grief process while coming to terms with the tragedy

Relive the anguish of my past
The artist is revisiting his own past experiences with loss and grief

To find out who I was at last
The artist is using the tragedy to gain a deeper understanding of himself

The door has opened wide
The artist is experiencing a sense of awakening or enlightenment

I'm turning with the tide
The singer is going through a process of change or transformation

Looking through her eyes
The artist's perspective has shifted to a more empathetic and compassionate one
