EYES
The Mist Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
And I miss you from far away
Heaven knows what's in front of you
Feel like I could hardly breathe
But time goes on, I've had to leave
Without you here, all I have are memories
What if you believe everything
The story that we write through those aged eyes
Will you plan to recognize?
If you could believe anything
Would you choose to play it different, everything?
The story that we write, through those aged eyes
Will you plan to recognize?
If I don't speak another word
How much of my truth will be unheard?
Everything is a point of view
Clouds are closing in on me
But life goes on eventually
I'm standing here, living in my memories
What if you believe everything?
Would they tell you I was different, anything?
And the story that we write (we write)
Through those aged eyes (those eyes)
Will you plan to recognize?
If you could believe anything
Would you choose to play it different, everything?
The story that we write through those aged eyes (those eyes)
Will you plan to recognize?

The line "Heaven knows what's in front of you" suggests uncertainty and perhaps a concern for the well-being of the person they are separated from.
The refrain of the song poses thought-provoking questions about perception and the impact it has on relationships. The lyrics ask what would happen if others were to believe everything, implying that there may be misconceptions or misunderstandings about the singer's identity or character. They wonder if the truth about them would be recognized and acknowledged by others. The phrase "through those aged eyes" might refer to the limited perspective of others or the distorted lens through which their story is perceived.

Love the chord progression, drums, vocals and the overall feeling this track musically captures. If you ever wondered what people meant when they said a song had that timeless feel… well that vibe def lives in this song.

Couldn't agree more - what a beautifully complex composition and dense arrangement. It's like the vocals and the music just melt into each other. I'm in love with this track. Also there is this short repeating strings part (1:00-1:11) that reminds me of The Joker - Defeated Clown track from the movie soundtrack but I'm loving that just as well.

Love how this somehow sounds like an obscure 70s record from Brazil but also really modern! Absolutely beautiful & unique.
Nolan Bostick
