Dagger Like Eyes
Dagger Like Eyes: Unveiling the Shadows of Manipulation
Lyrics
I never thought that I would end up like this
I never anticipated ending up in this situation.
While you'll swear that you knew I would
You might claim you saw it coming, but I doubt it.
The fear they follow me, everywhere, worked from the start
Fear is a constant companion, originating from the beginning.
And not a hope in hell you'll cease and desist
No chance you'll stop and desist from your actions.
Lately it's been so frustrating, being manipulated
Recently, I've been frustrated due to manipulation.
Twist the knife again tonight - just please not those eyes
Tonight, don't inflict more pain—just spare me those eyes.
The sleight of the hands, all part of the plan to
Sleight of hand is all part of a plan to...
Help you understand just, how weak it leaves a man
Help you realize how much it weakens a man.
(Man that's seen those dagger like eyes)
(A man who has experienced those piercing eyes)
I'll do what I can, slow everything down but, it's never quite enough
I'll do my best to slow things down, but it's never sufficient.
Knowing I can't stand, those dagger like eyes
I can't endure the gaze of those threatening eyes.
(Stand up to - those dagger like eyes)
(I can't stand up against those piercing eyes)
If there's one life, then there's one chance - to learn to resist almost anything
If there's only one life, there's just one chance to learn resistance.
So tell me how have I done? Whilst looking straight through me
Assess my performance while seeing right through me.
The things that stop me dead, I'd write you a list
Things that halt my progress are few, but they are potent.
But just one exists: at times I wish that I was blind
Only one thing stops me completely: sometimes I wish for blindness.
Lately it's been so frustrating, being manipulated
Again, I feel the frustration of being manipulated.
Twist the knife again tonight - just please not those eyes
Tonight, please don't worsen the situation—spare me those eyes.
The sleight of the hands, all part of the plan to
The sleight of hand is part of the plan to...
Help you understand just, how weak it leaves a man
Help you grasp how much it weakens a man.
(Man that's seen those dagger like eyes)
(A man who has faced those threatening eyes)
I'll do what I can, slow everything down but, it's never quite enough
I'll do what I can to slow things down, but it's never quite enough.
Knowing I can't stand, those dagger like eyes
I can't endure the gaze of those threatening eyes.
(Stand up to - those dagger like eyes)
(I can't stand up against those piercing eyes)
Dagger like eyes, dagger like eyes
Dagger-like eyes, a repeated symbol of threat or intensity.
Dagger like eyes, dagger like eyes
Once again, emphasizing the powerful and threatening nature of those eyes.
