Eye to Eye
Subsist-Chaotix Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Don't look beyond these friendly eyes
Because disappointment can never be a substitute for what you don't what to see
A part of myself is dead now and I pray for the start of something new
The only constant variable is that the distance grows between these two
At least the past draped itself in comfort
Now the only thing that grips is the stagnant presence of an unfamiliarity
So I stepped back and looked beyond the unknown
And I almost began to see for the first time




Overall Meaning

The lyrics of Subsist-Chaotix's song Eye to Eye is a reflection of a post-breakup pain that cuts deep. The first line speaks of the façade of friendliness and how it can hide the true feelings inside. The second line suggests that being disappointed is the least one wants to experience when confronting a harsh reality. The lyrics delve into a sense of loss, where the persona alludes to a part of them that is dead as they desperately seek a new beginning. The fourth line sums up the inevitability of distance as time moves on, leading to a gradual fading of love and remembrance of the past. However, the past was once a source of solace when times were hard, and the present is now unsettlingly unfamiliar. The persona decides to step back and confront the unknown, leading to moments of clarity, where they almost see their current situation for the first time.


The song expresses sentiments of grief, rebuilding, and acceptance. We can learn from this song that life keeps moving on, and we can dwell on past sorrows, but we must also look for hope, embrace change, and find the strength to move on. The interpretation of these lyrics can also vary based on personal experiences, and one can draw meaning from them according to their circumstance.

At least the past draped itself in comfort

A yandere harem? That sounds dangerous! 😮
If I we're him, I'll run for my life!

@flemingbudubiney2936

Indeed truly dangerous

@EarthsSaviour-ge1ig

if you find it dangerous it just proves your skill issue, clearly you can only fight madness with even greater madness, if it's bad then just become the worst, if it's dangerous then become an even greater danger

@Delgas01

Battle royale 💀

Keiichi really is the shy protagonist out here and why him can't pick his childhood over these 2 yanderes actually make that 3

@jarredbillings2332

I honestly don't get this. What does the socially awkward loser like Keiichi have that other dudes don't? It can't be good looks or charm... Yet somehow, he's a chick magnet like all the Keiichis are
