EYES
T.O.L.D. Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Seasons change I'll rest assured
Time won't wait for something more
Hidden pathways to explore
They tell me to take your time my love
You've been chasing stars too much
They've almost had enough
Leave the broken past behind you
Structured rules of life will find you
Take this pill it might surprise you
Don't keep me waiting
Cause I've been awake for far too long
These times they are changing
Still, it's the stars where we belong
Shape a city in your palms
Call it equal, don't let on
This game you play your kind has won
When lands dry up and burn
This lesson goes unlearned
Tell your makers I said hi
Ask them where their demons lie
Don't you ever wonder why
Don't keep me waiting
Cause I've been awake for far too long
These times they are changing
Still, it's the stars where we belong
Time moves so slowly
Time moves so slowly
Time moves so slowly
Time moves so slowly
Time moves so slowly
Time moves so slowly
Time moves so slowly
Time moves so slowly
Don't keep me waiting
Cause I've been awake for far too long
These times they are changing
Still, it's the stars where we belong
Don't keep me waiting
Cause I've been awake for far too long




These times they are changing
Still, it's the stars where we belong

Overall Meaning

The song "Eyes" by T.O.L.D. is a reflection on the passing of time, the changing of seasons, and the challenges of navigating life. The lyrics suggest that time does not wait for us, and that we must be proactive in exploring the world around us. The "hidden pathways" mentioned in the lyrics can be seen as a metaphor for the unknown and unexplored aspects of our selves and our world, which we must confront in order to grow and develop.


The chorus of the song ("Don't keep me waiting/Cause I've been awake for far too long/These times they are changing/Still, it's the stars where we belong") highlights the importance of not waiting for opportunities to come to us, but instead making our own way in the world. The reference to the stars can be interpreted as a symbol of our desire for something grander and more meaningful.


The second part of the song explores themes of power, control, and destruction. The singer suggests that humanity has "won" a game that they should not be playing, and that the consequences of their actions (such as climate change) will ultimately lead to destruction. This section of the song also suggests a critique of those who hold power and the systems they use to maintain that power.


Overall, "Eyes" is a complex and thought-provoking song that touches on themes of time, growth, power, and the human condition.

I sleep with no voice and wake with no name
That's just a noise the devil did make
Seventeen times in seventeen days
I could stay dry but I could hear rain
I can hear rain

Say your goodbyes, fly away
Leave Lucifer's eyes and hide your pain
Seventeen times in seventeen days
I could stay dry but I could hear rain
I can hear rain

I can't see the way out
Devil's taken me now
I can't see the way out
Devil's taken me now

I can't see the way out
Devil's taken me now
