Fury Eyes
The Creatures Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
You'll disapear and then I'll die
A love that lost always returns
To feed the fire of a heart that burns
There's no sleep for fury eyes
So deep are the eyes of fury
Watching faces changing places
Running rings around the moon
Did we laugh and see to sing too soon
Our stomach turn on a fever stream
But with no mosquito bite
Rabid kisses in a dream
Still we can't escape the site
There's no sleep for fury eyes
So deep are the eyes of fury
Tonight they exorcise the ghost
Of love from its unyielding host
If that don't suit you scream and shout
It thine offend thee pluck it out
Alone in love with the other one
The one who doesn't know
And when we dance with the other one
The eyes of fury glow
Tonight they exorcise the ghost
Of love from its unyielding host
If that don't suit you scream and shout
It thine offend thee pluck it out
Who'll weep for the fury eyes
Beholding love a thing of beauty
There's no sleep for fury eyes
So deep are the eyes of fury.
The Creatures' "Fury Eyes" is a song about the intensity of love, which can quickly turn into a fiery inferno that consumes and destroys everything in its path. The song speaks of a love that is lost but always returns, and the pain and heartache that this cycle causes. The lyrics also touch on the idea that when in love, people often experience a feverish, almost delirious state, but despite this, they cannot escape the intensity of their emotions.
The line "Punch me Judy make me cry, You'll disappear and then I'll die" speaks to the idea that one partner can cause pain and misery to the other, but in spite of that, they remain tethered to each other. The chorus repeats the phrase "there's no sleep for fury eyes, so deep are the eyes of fury," which underscores the intense, all-encompassing nature of the emotions being described.
The song also touches on the idea of jealousy in relationships. The lines "Alone in love with the other one, The one who doesn't know, And when we dance with the other one, The eyes of fury glow" hint at the idea that even when someone is in a committed relationship, they can still feel drawn to and jealous of others.
Overall, "Fury Eyes" is a testament to the all-consuming nature of love, and the pain and intensity that can come with it.

I will never understand why the original version wasn't released as a single. Love this one, but the original is so much better.
Jace Mogill
Agreed! The original (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Jhjrd_B5zoc) featured Budgie playing everything instead of a bunch of machines.
