Blue Eyes
Within Temptation Featuring Keith Caputo Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Full of dreams and with fascination
Too soon she saw that her hands were chained and pulled without any freedom
It's always the same
The fear, no way out
I cannot break it
I can take it no more
Lost all my tears, can't cry
No reason, no meaning
Just hatred
No matter how hard I try
You fear the beast inside
It's growing, it's waiting
Just to hurt you
This heart was hurt by the light
And I see your world that tries to deny us
Now everything that I love has died or has been shattered to pieces
It's always the same
The fear, no way out
I cannot break it
I can take it no more
It's burning me up inside
Lost all my tears, can't cry
No reason, no meaning
Just hatred
No matter how hard I try
You fear the beast inside
It's growing, it's waiting
Just to hurt you
Just to hurt you
Just hatred
Can't you see their eyes what lies inside
They've given up
They no longer shine
Too soon they close with one last cry
Before they turn to light
Just to hurt you
It's burning me up inside
Lost all my tears, can't cry
No reason, no meaning
Just hatred
No matter how hard I try
You fear the beast inside
It's growing, it's waiting
Just to hurt you
Just to hurt you
The song Blue Eyes by Within Temptation Featuring Keith Caputo is a powerful ballad that deals with themes of fear, hatred and inner turmoil. The opening lines talk about a young girl with blue eyes who is fascinated by the world and has many dreams. However, she soon realizes that she is chained and has no freedom. This theme of being trapped and powerless is a recurring one throughout the song. The fear is always present and there seems to be no way out. The lyrics then take a more personal turn, talking about the singer's own struggles. He talks about feeling like he is burning up inside and being unable to cry. The lyrics suggest that this is due to the beast inside, which is growing and waiting to hurt those around him.
The song is a powerful expression of the pain and desperation that can come from feeling trapped and powerless. It is a cry for help and a plea for understanding. The repeated lines "It's always the same, the fear, no way out" give a sense of hopelessness and resignation, but there is also a sense of anger and defiance in the lyrics. The idea that the beast inside is waiting to hurt those around the singer is both chilling and empowering. It suggests that the singer is aware of the destructive power that he holds within himself and is struggling to control it.
