EYES
the 69 Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Don't believe all that you dream is just illusion
Don't believe you look for things not made for you
You'll win in everything, but don't live in confusion
Somedays will come alive, and dreams will turn to truth

Someone will be loving you baby
Someone's gonna come
Someone will be foling you baby
Keep your way, only keep confiding
Then you'll be finding

Close your eyes
Let your dreams go flying
Close your eyes
Keeps your mind off crying
Close your eyes
When the day seems hazy
Close your eyes
If it drives you crazy

Someone will be loving you baby
Someone's gonna come
I know there's someone calling you baby
Keep your way, only keep confiding
Keep your way and you'll keep on finding

Close your eyes
Let your dreams go flying
Close your eyes
Keeps your mind off crying
Close your eyes
When the day seems hazy




Close your eyes
If it drives you crazy

(Nothing's gonna make you stop)
You wanna rock
(Everybody knows you're lost)

Morning light hurts your eyes
But that's another thing
Nothing really matters
Behind the shades of blue
Blind boys never lie
But that's another thing
Nothing really matters
Behind the shades of blue

'Cause in the end
You're just reborn again

You wanna rock
Nothing's gonna make you stop
And nothing's gonna break you up
Everybody knows you're lost
In the night time honey, lost boys

We are dead until dark
But that's another thing
Noting really matters
Behind the shades of blue
You say...
You wanna live like I do
But that's another thing
Nothing really matters
Behind the shades of blue

'Cause in the end
We're just reborn again

You wanna rock
Nothing's gonna make you stop
And nothing's gonna break you up
Everybody knows you're lost
In the night time honey, lost boys
Nothing's gonna make you stop
And nothing's gonna break you up
Everybody knows you're lost
In the night time honey, lost boys

You wanna rock
Nothing's gonna make you stop
And nothing's gonna break you up
Everybody knows you're lost
In the night time honey, lost boys
Nothing's gonna make you stop
And nothing's gonna break you up
Everybody knows you're lost
In the night time honey, lost boys
Nothing's gonna make you stop
And nothing's gonna break you up
Everybody knows you're lost
In the night time honey, lost boys

(Nothing's gonna make you stop) lost boys
(Everybody knows you're lost) lost boys

This was MY song back in 2009 when I was 22. There was a Goth/Alternative club I loved to go out to and party the nights with my friends. The club had a special party every month which was called "Hellsinki Vampires Party" where the DJ (a nice dude by the artist name of DJ Glampire Tom, huge fan and also close friends with The 69 Eyes) only played Scandinavian rock/metal. I was the only one with a 69 Eyes jacket (bearing the famous Ankh on the back) and many people recognised me just because of that. I'd always request this song and storm the dancefloor. Many people joined me as soon as they heard the intro and saw "the guy with the 69 Eyes jacket" (:D) and danced like hell. I have many memories from these days and the parties. Some of them are bad but the majority are good. I also met my wife in that club. We're together for 13 years now and have two lovely kids. Unfortunately the Hellsinki Vampires Party was cut from the program when the club's owner had changed in 2015(?). This year as a result of the pandemic the club's location is no more and the club itself (Not the original but successor number 2) is without any location at the moment. I really wish it will some day become like back in the day...
Anyway thanks for sticking with me and my story :)
All the best from Berlin!
