She speaks to me in Persian
Tells me that she loves me
The girl with golden eyes
And though I hardly know her
I let her in my veins
And trust her with my life
I wish I had never kissed her
'Cause I just can't resist her
The girl with golden eyes
Every time she whispers
'Take me in your arms
The way you did last night.'
Everything will be okay
Everything will be alright
If I can get away from her
And save my worthless life.
I wake up every morning
Jonesing for her love
The girl with golden eyes
I won't have to wait long
'Til she buries me with roses
'Cause she's always by my side
Everything will be okay
Everything will be alright
If I can get away from her
And save my worthless life.
[Spoken Word]
Day one. Dope free. I went to the clinic today and got the first dose of methadone.
I'm out of dope so I threw away all my rigs.
Day two. I can't believe it's been two days without junk.
Fucking smack, it just ruins peoples' lives.
At first it seems so sweet, then you wake up next to a monster.
Day three. I haven't had anything for three days now.
This withdrawal is killing me. It's like shock therapy to my guts.
Day four. Last visit to the clinic. My whole body feels like it's cracking into pieces.
Fragile doesn't even come close to describing how I feel.
Day five-- I'm sick as a dog, but this handful of painkillers
and a lotta whiskey's gonna get me through.
Day six-- When I'm left to my own devices I go fucking insane.
I'll never use heroin again.
Day seven-- I can't believe I'm clean!
Day eight-- Everyone says I look better--
Day nine-- The parasites are panicking--
Day ten-- They seem amazed that I'm alive!
Everything will be okay
Everything will be alright
If I can get away from her
And save my worthless life.
Everything will be okay
Everything will be alright
If I can get away from her
And save my worthless life.

The song "Girl With Golden Eyes" by Sixx:A.M. is a powerful commentary on drug addiction and the overwhelming allure of the drug heroine. The girl with golden eyes refers to heroine itself, and every aspect of the song, from the lyrics to the music, is a reflection of the struggle with addiction. The lyrics of the song are told from the point of view of the addict, and the singer is struggling to overcome the grip that the drug has on him.
The opening of the song speaks to the almost seductive power that heroine has over those who use it. The girl with golden eyes is described as speaking in Persian and telling the singer that she loves him. She is a symbol of the drug, and the love affair that the addicts have with it. The singer says that he hardly knows her, but he lets her in his veins and trusts her with his life. This speaks to the incredibly destructive nature of addiction and how it can take complete control of a person's life.
As the song progresses, the singer is torn between wanting to be free of the addiction and being drawn back to the drug. He describes waking up every morning "Jonesing for her love" and how he can't resist her whispers when she tells him to "take me in your arms the way you did last night." The struggle to break free from the addiction is described in vivid detail, including the physical and emotional toll it takes on the person.
Ultimately, the message of the song is one of hope. The singer believes that if he can get away from the drug, he can save his "worthless life." The song is a powerful statement on the damage that drug addiction can do, but it also carries with it a message of redemption and the possibility of breaking free from the grip of addiction.
