Eyes
Tipsy Road Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
I stole their visions and their dreams
Gift inglorious
My blessing and my curse
Behind their eyes and dazzling smiles
I could see their hidden lies
Masking their deceitful lives
Endless nights, endless fights
My sanity, my destiny, my life
Until I met that dazzling beauty
Angel walking through the night
Mysteriously glamorous
And I was set to steal her heart
Through her eyes I saw her smile
An evil fleer with no desire
But the readiness to see me die
Her cruel eyes scorched my mind
It was clear I had to die
The witch but smiled and made me cry
“I beg you, let me live”
“No, the Devil’s waiting”
And hurled me into the storm of fire
