From across a vast galaxy of musical taste, these three young vagabonds with Scandinavian roots have collided to form a dancefolkpopindielectronica silenced explosion. Their healthy combination of live instruments and electronic production ignite - forming moments of dance floor euphoria, stomping vocal driven breakdowns and roaming lo-fi grooves.
After an extremely successful debut EP release at the start of 2011 and a thumping live show doing the rounds in Ol' Sydney town, RÜFÜS are poised for a very big year!

Look Through My Eyes
RÜFÜS Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Why can't it just be you that chases me
Look through my eyes
Can you see me
Searchin' with nothin' in sight
Touch with my hands can't you feel me
Reachin' for you in the night
Can't say I haven't tried bet your life
Change all my bitter to sweet love
Change all my darkness to light
Surrender the love you're concealing
My love will make it alright
Look through my eyes
Can't you see me
Touch with my hands
Can't you feel me
Change all my bitter to sweet love
Make it right
Baby I'm in love and I just can't stay
Besides my love won't compromise or be denied
Look through my eyes
Can you see me
Searchin' with nothin' in sight
Touch with my hands can't you feel me
Reachin' for you in the night
Change all my bitter to sweet love
Change all my darkness to light
Surrender the love you're concealing
My love will make it alright
The lyrics of Rufus's song "Look Through My Eyes" describe a longing for reciprocated love. The singer is questioning why they are always chasing after the person they love, instead of that person chasing after them. The chorus urges the person to "look through my eyes" and see the singer's efforts to try and make them happy. They want to be seen and felt, and their love to be reciprocated.
The second verse speaks of the singer's efforts to keep the person satisfied and change everything bitter and dark to sweet and light. They want the person to surrender the love they're concealing, promising that their love will make everything alright.
The song ends with the singer imploring the person they love to see them, feel them, and reciprocate their love.
Overall, the song expresses a deep desire to be seen and loved for who they are, and the frustration of constantly pursuing someone who doesn't feel the same way.
