Fall Inside Your Eyes
Drowning in Love: Unspoken Emotions in 'Fall Inside Your Eyes'
Lyrics
As I look across the room at you
Observing the person across the room
Our eyes are joined for just a breath or two
Shared gaze, a brief connection
I never finish what I mean to do
Difficulty in completing intended actions
I start to trail off when I'm halfway through
Tendency to lose focus or trail off midway
And I fall inside your eyes
Metaphorically falling into the depths of the person's eyes
And I'm drowning in your love
Overwhelmed or consumed by the feeling of love
But I cannot bring to my mind
Memory lapse or difficulty recalling thoughts
What it was that I was thinking of
Uncertain about the specific thoughts or ideas
I can feel each sigh with my back to you
Sensitivity to the other person's emotions
As though this sigh were mine and I'm attached to you
Feeling a personal connection through shared experiences
It's deep inside your eyes that I'm attracted to
Attraction deep within the person's eyes
Like a moth towards a light I can't stop my headlong flight
Compelled towards the person like a moth to light
And I fall inside your eyes
Continuation of falling into the person's eyes metaphor
Oh I'm drowning in your love
Reiteration of being overwhelmed by love
But I cannot bring to my mind
Recurring difficulty in recalling specific thoughts
What it was that I was thinking of
Reiteration of uncertainty regarding thoughts
The sounds inside the room seem to fade away
Sensory details fading away, possibly due to intense focus on the person
But I don't think that I was listening anyway
Admission of not actively listening
I know I can't explain just why I feel this way
Emotionally driven inability to explain feelings
But just one look from you and there's nothing I can do
The impact of the person's gaze on actions and thoughts
And I fall inside your eyes
Repetition of falling into the person's eyes metaphor
And I'm drowning in your love
Reiteration of being engulfed in love
But I cannot bring to my mind
Persistent difficulty in recalling specific thoughts
What it was that I was thinking of
Continued uncertainty regarding thoughts
