Eye Contact
Thea Sofie Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

I'm awake getting dark
But I see no colours
I'm so scared
But it feels like I'm on a roller coaster (roller coaster)

You look deeply into my eyes
Deeply into my eyes
Then you blink to me oh my
And it feels like I'm dying, dying

When I make eye contact with you
Eye contact with you
Eye contact with you, baby
I get so shy, oh I get so shy
Yeah, I get so shy
But I smile back to you

Yeah, I laugh and I smile
And I cry out of joy
But inside my soul is screaming
When I make eye contact with you
Eye contact with you
Eye contact with you, baby

Wanna call you all day
Tell you everything I feel
Wanna give you my heart
Here it is, no need to steal

Wanna know if you feel the same way
'Cause then maybe we could run away
Feels so good to love
But tell me, how does it feel to be loved?
Can you tell me?

'Cause when I make eye contact with you
Eye contact with you
Eye contact with you, baby
I get so shy, oh I get so shy
Yeah, I get so shy
But I smile back to you

Yeah, I laugh and I smile
And I cry out of joy
But inside my soul is screaming
When I make eye contact with you
Eye contact with you
Eye contact with you, baby

Please help me up
I'm on my knees
Have a little mercy
Have a little mercy
Mercy please
Oh-oh oh-oh

Should I be strong?
And face you?
Or should I be weak?
And look away?
Have a little mercy
With me

'Cause when I make eye contact with you
Eye contact with you
Eye contact with you, baby
I get so shy, oh I get so shy
But I smile back to you, back to you

'Cause when I make eye contact with you
Eye contact with you
Eye contact with you, baby
I get so shy, oh I get so shy
But I smile back to you

Yeah, I laugh and I smile
And I cry out of joy
But inside my soul is screaming
When I make eye contact with you




Eye contact with you
Eye contact with you, baby

Overall Meaning

The lyrics to Thea Sofie's song "Eye Contact" describe the intense sensation of making eye contact with someone and the overwhelming emotions that ensue. The singer is awake, but they see no colors, indicating a feeling of numbness or detachment. They express fear and nervousness, yet compare the experience to a roller coaster ride.


When the other person looks deeply into their eyes and blinks, the singer feels like they're dying. Despite their shyness, the singer smiles back and laughs, crying out of joy, while inside, their soul is screaming. The singer wants to share their feelings and give their heart away, but they question if the other person feels the same way.


The second half of the song is a plea for mercy, as the singer is on their knees, overcome with emotion. They wonder if they should be strong and face the other person or be weak and look away. Ultimately, they smile back and express their joy, even though their internal feelings are tumultuous. The lyrics beautifully capture the complexity of emotions that come with making eye contact with someone you have feelings for.
