In Your Eyes
Silverhead Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Living in the fast lane, never slow
And nothing that could come between me and you
I still hear the words I thought were cheap
You should always look before you leap
And I never realised those words were oh so true
I hope that you can hear me
Though you're living in another world
Throwing shadows upon earth
Chorus
In your eyes, I could drown and still survive
In your eyes, I could see how to live my life
But if only I knew
That chances were few
Maybe I would still be with you
Several thoughts I can't define
Living on a dream, seems like a crime
But every now and then it's hard to ignore
'Cause only in my dreams I find a clue
when i try to build a memory of you
I know our love will be much stronger than before
Bridge
I hope that you can hear me
Though you're living in another world
Throwing shadows upon earth
Chorus
In your eyes, I could drown and still survive
In your eyes, I could see how to live my life
But if only I knew
That chances were few
Maybe I would still be with you ...
The lyrics of Silverhead's song "In Your Eyes" depicts a bittersweet nostalgia of a past love that still lingers on. The opening lyrics, "I can still remember, long ago, living in the fast lane, never slow," reminisces the good old times when the singer and the loved one were deeply in love and living life to the fullest. The singer reflects back on the advice given to him, "You should always look before you leap," and regrets not heeding those words as it led to the end of the relationship.
The chorus speaks of the profound impact the loved one had on the singer's life. "In your eyes, I could drown and still survive, in your eyes, I could see how to live my life" reveals how the loved one had become the North Star for the singer, guiding him in every step which made him feel invincible. Yet, the singer is left with the painful realization that his chances of being together with his loved one are slim. "But if only I knew, that chances were few, maybe I would still be with you," portrays the regret he has in not doing things differently.
The song ultimately conveys the sense of loss and wishing for a second chance, and the poignant feeling of the singer staring into his loved one's eyes and realizing that all he ever needed was him/her.
Line by Line Meaning
I can still remember, long ago
I can recall a time in the past
Living in the fast lane, never slow
I used to live an exciting life filled with risk and no caution
And nothing that could come between me and you
There was no obstacle that could separate me from you
I still hear the words I thought were cheap
I remember disregarding wise sayings that now seem valuable
You should always look before you leap
One should be cautious and think ahead before taking action
And I never realised those words were oh so true
I never understood the importance of those words until now
I hope that you can hear me
I wish you could hear my thoughts and feelings
Though you're living in another world
Even though you are physically far away or living a different lifestyle
Throwing shadows upon earth
Casting a gloomy or sad influence on everything around you
In your eyes, I could drown and still survive
Looking into your eyes makes me feel overwhelmed with emotions and yet it gives me strength to carry on
In your eyes, I could see how to live my life
When I look at you, I understand how to make the most of my life
But if only I knew
If only I had been aware
That chances were few
That we didn't have many opportunities
Maybe I would still be with you
If I had realized this, we might still be together
Several thoughts I can't define
I have many thoughts that I cannot comprehend or put into words
Living on a dream, seems like a crime
Living in a fantasy or illusion seems wrong or dishonest
But every now and then it's hard to ignore
Occasionally, it's difficult to resist the temptation to indulge in a dream-like state
'Cause only in my dreams I find a clue
It's only in my dreams that I can find a hint or indication of what to do
when i try to build a memory of you
When I attempt to create a recollection of you
I know our love will be much stronger than before
I am confident that our love will be more powerful than ever

I met Nigel Harrison few years ago....and he is such an humble person, after all he has done and achieved in his music career. This band was absolutely GREAT !!!

Michael Des Barres sings his heart out. Fantastic!! Can listen to this all the time (and have done so since 1972). :-D

One of the best heartfelt emotional songs sung with feeling. You'll never hear bands like this again. Love this song.
