Eye Contact
William Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Eye contact has just disappeared
The phone chord is the only link
You let me use know about you
I wonder if you miss me too
My only shelter is the sky we used to share in summer nights
And now that everything has gone
I look for heat in somebody's lips
It doesn't matter oh how far you want to be
I still can fell you sleeping next to me
Vain me, I thought I still could be your everything
But that wasn't real
I hate you, I hate you
Just because I cannot hate you
Visual perceptions are so wrong
I cannot trust them anymor,
I wis that I could stare at your face
Free of the questions of who's to blame.
We try to keep our friendship first
But it's so hard to meet again
I don't know what the future can bring,
Maybe your fate belongs to me.
It doesn't matter oh how far you want to be
I still can fell you sleeping next to me
Vain me, I thought I still could be your everything
But that wasn't real
I hate myself, I hate myself
Just because I cannot hate you




I should forget and take my way
Never the same, we both have changed

Overall Meaning

William's song 'Eye Contact' speaks of the feeling of loss and disappointment that comes with a failed relationship. The lyrics convey the sense of detachment and distance that the singer feels from their former partner. The opening lines, "Eye contact has just disappeared, the phone cord is the only link" paint a picture of two people who have gone their separate ways and are now trying to maintain a semblance of a relationship through electronic means.


The singer wonders if their ex-partner misses them but acknowledges that they are only left with memories of when they used to share the same sky in summer nights. They are now looking for companionship elsewhere, even if it's just a physical connection, to fill the void that has been left behind.


The song portrays the confusion of the singer as they try to reconcile their feelings of love and hate towards their ex-partner. The line "Vain me, I thought I still could be your everything, but that wasn't real" shows the singer's realization that perhaps their relationship was not as strong as they thought it was.


The chorus of the song repeats the themes of distance and love: "It doesn't matter oh how far you want to be, I still can feel you sleeping next to me." The singer is struggling to let go of their former partner, and even though the relationship has ended, they still long for the intimacy they once shared.


In the end, the singer acknowledges that they must move on and take their own path as they say, "I should forget and take my way. Never the same, we both have changed." The song ends with a sense of ambiguity, underscoring the fact that sometimes in life, we don't have all the answers, and we just have to accept what we cannot control.
