Lost Boys
The 69 Eyes Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

(Nothing's gonna make you stop
You want to rock
Everybody knows you're lost.)

Morning light hurts your eyes
But that's another thing
Nothing really matters
Behind the shades of blue
Blind boys never lie
But that's another thing
Nothing really matters
Behind the shades of blue

'Cause in the end
You're just reborn again

You want to rock
Nothing's gonna make you stop
And nothing's gonna break you up
Everybody knows you're lost
In the night time, honey
Lost boys

We are dead until dark
But that's another thing
Nothing really matters
Behind the shades of blue
You say
You want to live like I do
But that's another thing
Nothing really matters
Behind the shades of blue

'Cause in the end
We're just reborn again

You want to rock
Nothing's gonna make you stop
And nothing's gonna break you up
Everybody knows you're lost
In the night time, honey
Lost boys

Nothing's gonna make you stop
And nothing's gonna break you up
Everybody knows you're lost
In the night time, honey
Lost

You want to rock
Nothing's gonna make you stop
And nothing's gonna break you up
Everybody knows you're lost
In the night time, honey
Lost boys

Nothing's gonna make you stop
And nothing's gonna break you up
Everybody knows you're lost
In the night time, honey
Lost boys

Nothing's gonna make you stop
And nothing's gonna break you up
Everybody knows you're lost
In the night time, honey
Lost boys

(Nothing's gonna make you stop
Lost boys




Everybody knows you're lost
Lost boys)

Overall Meaning

The 69 Eyes's song Lost Boys is a tribute to the cult 1987 horror-comedy film of the same name. The song is about living life to the fullest and not worrying about anything else. The opening lines of the chorus, "Nothing's gonna make you stop, You want to rock, Everybody knows you're lost," capture the essence of the song. It's about people who live for the moment, who don't care about what society thinks of them, and who just want to rock.


The lyrics describe the feeling of being lost and the need to escape from the monotony of everyday life. The reference to the morning light hurting the eyes suggests that the person has been up all night, living their life to the fullest. The line "blind boys never lie" could be a reference to the characters in Lost Boys who were turned into vampires and became immortal. The chorus repeats the idea that the person wants to rock and that nothing is going to stop them, even if they are lost.


Overall, the song is about living life to the fullest and not worrying about what others think. It's about embracing one's inner lost boy and living in the moment.

This was MY song back in 2009 when I was 22. There was a Goth/Alternative club I loved to go out to and party the nights with my friends. The club had a special party every month which was called "Hellsinki Vampires Party" where the DJ (a nice dude by the artist name of DJ Glampire Tom, huge fan and also close friends with The 69 Eyes) only played Scandinavian rock/metal. I was the only one with a 69 Eyes jacket (bearing the famous Ankh on the back) and many people recognised me just because of that. I'd always request this song and storm the dancefloor. Many people joined me as soon as they heard the intro and saw "the guy with the 69 Eyes jacket" (:D) and danced like hell. I have many memories from these days and the parties. Some of them are bad but the majority are good. I also met my wife in that club. We're together for 13 years now and have two lovely kids. Unfortunately the Hellsinki Vampires Party was cut from the program when the club's owner had changed in 2015(?). This year as a result of the pandemic the club's location is no more and the club itself (Not the original but successor number 2) is without any location at the moment. I really wish it will some day become like back in the day...
Anyway thanks for sticking with me and my story :)
All the best from Berlin!
