EYES
Rogue Wave Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Birds pass by to tell me that I'm not alone
Over pushing myself to finish this part
I can handle a lot
But one thing I'm missing is in your eyes
In your eyes
In your eyes
In your eyes
In your eyes
In your eyes
Have you seen this film?
It reminds me of walking through the avenues
Washing my hands of attachments, yeah
Land on the ground
One thing I'm missing, is in your eyes
In your eyes
In your eyes
In your eyes
In your eyes
In your eyes
In your eyes
In your eyes
In your eyes
In your eyes
In your eyes
In your eyes
In your eyes
In your eyes
In your eyes
In your eyes
The lyrics to Rogue Wave's song "Eyes" seem to express a sense of loneliness and longing for someone. The opening lines, "Missed the last train home, Birds pass by to tell me that I'm not alone," describe the singer feeling alone in their situation. Even though they missed the last train, they see the birds flying by and feel comforted that they are not the only ones awake at this hour. As the song progresses, the singer talks about "over pushing" themselves to finish something, perhaps a project or a task. They are capable of handling a lot, but they are missing something that only they can find in someone else's eyes.
The chorus repeatedly mentions "In your eyes," indicating that the singer is in search of something that can only be found through the gaze of another person. They reference seeing a film and walking through the "avenues." Perhaps they are wandering through the bustling streets of a city and missing someone who they used to walk alongside. The line "Washing my hands of attachments, yeah, Land on the ground" could suggest that the singer has been trying to detach themselves from something, but they were not entirely successful. They come to the realization that they are still in need and that the only thing they are missing is in someone else's eyes.
Overall, the lyrics of "Eyes" by Rogue Wave beautifully and poetically convey the feeling of being lonely but still searching for companionship. The singer recognizes that they can handle a lot, but they cannot go on without finding what they are searching for in someone else's eyes.

@allancallander449
"Heroes" brought me here.
Long time fan, this song is used beautifully in the series and it stood out and an amazing piece.
Looks like I'm late to the party, but this song has stuck in my mind for a mad long time now obviously for a reason. Big time credit to the artist, awesome piece that fills the heart with hope.
Any music that can make the hairs on your arm stand up succeeded at becoming what all music should be... Magic. ❤️❤️❤️

@moralmovies
I have been humming this melody for years, trying to remember the lyrics so I could search for it. I knew it was from Heroes, and a few weeks ago I tried fast forwarding through a few episodes to find the song, but couldnt find it. Tonight I decided to Watch the show, and it shows up at the first episode 😊 awesome show❤️❤️
