Your Eyes
Eyes of Self-Discovery: Ajay Friese's Poetic Journey
Lyrics
Got no lighter for my broken candle
Expresses a lack of resources or support for personal struggles.
My mind can't keep up with me
Describes a struggle to keep one's thoughts and actions in sync.
Got no smile like the pic on the mantle
Compares one's current state to a smiling picture on display.
Tell me what life is, tell me when it's over
Questions the meaning and duration of life.
Got one hand in the depths of a casket
Symbolizes reaching into the emotional depths, possibly dealing with loss.
Other one holding onto you for the answers
Depicts seeking answers or support from someone significant.
Tell me what love is, 'cause I've been all over
Asks for a definition or understanding of love after experiencing various situations.
Mmm
A moment of reflection or contemplation.
Then I see your eyes
The singer finds solace or inspiration in the eyes of someone special.
In bed at night I lie awake
Struggling with thoughts and emotions during sleepless nights.
cnd rip at my heart, woah
Emphasizes the emotional impact, possibly heartache, experienced at night.
But when I see your eyes
The sight of the person's eyes has a profound effect.
There's nothing I can do to stop me
Despite the intensity, the singer feels unable to resist the impact.
From loving myself a little more
Positive transformation and self-love inspired by the person's eyes.
Oh oh
Repetition of the chorus, emphasizing self-love and its source.
Oh oh
-Oh oh
-I'm loving myself a little more
-Oh oh
-Oh oh
-Oh oh
-I'm loving myself a little more
-Daybreak and the sun shines
Transition to a new day, but with a sense of emotional coldness.
But it's a cold time, and I'm feelin' kinda' blue
Expresses feeling down or sad despite the daylight.
My mind's in its darkness
The mind is immersed in darkness, representing emotional struggles.
cs I harness all the hurt I'm going through
Harnessing and dealing with the pain experienced.
When love turns to self-hate
Describes the challenging transformation from love to self-hate.
It's hard to reclaim all the trust once inside
Difficulty in rebuilding trust after self-inflicted harm.
But all of that changes, rearranges
Positive change and reconnection when encountering the person's eyes.
When I see those eyes
-cnd then I see your eyes
Reiteration of the impact of the person's eyes on self-love.
In bed at night I lie awake
-cnd rip at my heart, woah
-But when I see your eyes
-There's nothing I can do to stop me
-From loving myself a little more
-I'm loving, loving, I love you
Expression of love and affection toward the person.
I'm loving, loving, I'm loving
-Oh oh, woah
Repetition of the chorus, reinforcing the theme of self-love.
Oh oh, oh
-Oh oh, I'm loving myself a little more
-Oh oh, woah
-Oh oh, yeah
-Oh oh, I'm loving myself
-cnd I got no lighter for my broken candle
Repetition of earlier verses, emphasizing struggles and seeking answers in love.
My mind can't keep up with me
-Got no smile like the pic on the mantle
-Tell me what life is, tell me when it's over
-Got one hand in the depths of a casket
-Other one holding onto you for the answers
-Tell me what love is, 'cause I've been all over
-Mmm
Another moment of reflection or contemplation, possibly with a lingering question.
