The lyrics of Wylde Ratttz's "TV Eye" are quite straightforward and repetitive. The singer is addressing a woman whom he calls "that cat." He sees her lying down with her back to him, and remarks that she has a "TV eye" on him. This could mean that she is staring at him like a TV camera, or that she has a piercing gaze that can see through everything like a TV screen.
The singer professes his love for this woman, who seems to be watching him closely, and repeats the refrain "she got a TV eye on me" throughout the song. This repetition suggests that he may be feeling scrutinized or observed in some way, as if he is always on display for this woman's gaze. The song is dreamy, raw and electric, with a heavy guitar riff that punctuates the lyrics.
At its heart, "TV Eye" is a song about desire and voyeurism. The woman's gaze is not necessarily unwelcome, but it is a potent force that the singer cannot ignore. It represents the pleasure and excitement of being watched, as well as the vulnerability and exposure that this entails. The song suggests that being seen and being desired are intimately intertwined, and that the act of watching is just as important as the act of being watched.
