Look In My Eyes
Rains Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

I know you're waiting and you're so damn nervous
I know you're hoping that I could explain this
Look in my eyes
I will try and show you

I know you think I am the devil in this
I know you're thinking that you don't deserve this
Look in my eyes

What did you want me to be
When I see you falling
How did you want me to see
Your life and your lying
How did you want me to feel
When I see you trying
Trying so hard to fit in
To the world you are buying

I know you're thinking that you should have been there
I know you're thinking that no one cares
Just look in my eyes
I will try and show you

I know you think I should be saying I'm sorry
You arent the person I thought you'd be
Just look in my eyes

What did you want me to be
When I see you falling
How did you want me to see
Your life and your lying
How did you want me to feel
When I see you trying
Trying so hard to fit in
To the world you are buying

Just take a look at who you are
Dont blame me for the Hardest part
I told you when the
Rain starts falling it all starts crashing




Down and life will run you right into the ground
Just take a look at who you are

Overall Meaning

In the song Look In My Eyes by Rains, the lyrics initially address someone who is anxious and nervous, perhaps seeking an explanation from the singer. The singer assures them that he will try to show them and help them understand. However, the singer is aware that this person sees him as the devil and doesn't think that they deserve his help. The song explores the confusion and frustration that comes with people's expectations of who we should be versus who we really are.


The chorus continues to ask the person what they wanted the singer to be when they were falling and struggling with their issues. They question how they should have felt or reacted to the person's pain and effort to fit into society.


The lyrics then take a turn as the singer suggests that the person should take a look at themselves instead of blaming him for the hardest part. The rain serves as a metaphor for the struggles they face in life that will eventually crash down and bring them to the ground.


The song's powerful message urges listeners to confront their own issues instead of looking for external sources to blame or find salvation in. The singer acknowledges his faults and limitations, but ultimately the responsibility for one's life lies within themselves. The song underscores the importance of self-awareness and acceptance as key to a fulfilling life.
