Eyes without a face
The BossHoss Lyrics

Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴

I'm all out of hope
One more bad dream
could bring a fall
When I'm far from hoooome
Don't call me on the phooouune
To tell me you're alone
It's easy to deceive
It's easy to tease

But hard to get release

eyes without a face
eyes without a face
Got no human grace your eyes
without a face.

I spend so much tame
Believing all the laies
To keep the dream alave
Now it makes me sad
It makes me mad at truth
For loving what was you

eyes without a face
eyes without a face
Got no human grace your eyes
without a face.

When you hear the music you make a
dip
Into someone else's pocket then
make a slip.
Steal a car and go to Las Vegas oh,
the gigolo pool.
Hanging out by the state line,
turning holy waters into wine,
drinkin´it down, ooooh.
I'm on a bus on a psychedelic
trip
Reading murder books tryin' to stay
hip.
I'm thinkin' of you you're out
there so
Say your prayers.
Say your prayers.
Say your prayers.

Now I close my eyes
And I wonder why
I don't despise
Now all I can do
Is love what was once
So alive and new
But it's gone from your eyes
I'd better realise

eyes without a face
eyes without a face
eyes without a face
Got no human grace your eyes
without a face.
Such a human waste your eyes

without a face
And now it's getting worse.

Overall Meaning

The BossHoss's song "Eyes Without A Face" is a poetic representation of a man who has lost faith in love and life. The lyricist describes his hopelessness and despair due to his past experiences and the pain he feels when he is far from home. He implores his love interest not to call him when they are alone because he is not strong enough to face the possibility of rejection, which he deems easy to deceive and tease. He acknowledges that it is tough to find release from the agony of love, which makes him frustrated and sad.

The song's title and chorus, "eyes without a face," symbolize a loss of humanity and emotion. The singer laments that his love interest has no human grace in her eyes, which is a reflection of his shattered hope for a better future. The lyrics depict a desperate and broken individual who has been hurt so much that he is skeptical of any form of love, which he sees as a lie that he believed to keep his dream alive.
