Behind My Eyes
Warhead Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Where do I go?
Is life all I know?
Is pain all I feel,
And time is here to heal?
And I'm watching from the other side
There was the start
The years have played their part
A child, soon a man
What's left of my plans?
And the quest goes on until the end
Who looks behind my eyes when I'm asleep?
Who looks behind my eyes when I'm down deep?
What makes me feel the way that I feel everyday?
Am I alive or dead on my lonely way?
And I'm going to meet my fate
Who looks behind my eyes when I'm asleep?
Who looks behind my eyes when I'm down deep?




Who looks behind my eyes when I'm asleep?
Who looks behind my eyes when I'm down deep?
