The meaning of the lyrics of the song "In Your Eyes" by the artist "Weeknd, The"

Contents

In "In Your Eyes," The Weeknd sings about a complex and possibly toxic relationship. The lyrical protagonist sees pain and suffering in his lover's eyes. He understands that she is trying to hide her true feelings behind a fake smile and carefully chosen words.

Despite recognizing her insincerity, he chooses to ignore it, to "remain blind" to her lies. He is willing to pretend that he doesn't notice her pain, just to preserve the relationship. Perhaps he is afraid of losing her or clinging to the illusion of love himself.

The lyrics contain a motif of self-deception and escape from reality. The protagonist admits that he has sought love from others but still returns to this woman, despite all the pain she causes him. "In Your Eyes" is a song about dependence, about the inability to break free from a destructive relationship, even while seeing the suffering in the eyes of your loved one.

[Verse 1:]

I just pretend that I'm in the dark,

I don't regret 'cause my heart can't take a loss.

I'd rather be so oblivious,

I'd rather be with you.

[Pre-Chorus:]

When it's said, when it's done, yeah,

I don't ever wanna know,

I can tell what you done, yeah,

When I look at you.

[Chorus:]

In your eyes

I see there's something burning inside you,

Oh, inside you,

In your eyes, I know it hurts to smile but you try to,

Oh, you try to.

[Post-Chorus:]

You always try to hide the pain,

You always know just what to say,

I always look the other way,

I'm blind, I'm blind.

In your eyes, you lie, but I don't let it define you,

Oh, define you.

[Verse 2:]

I tried to find love

In someone else too many times.

But I hope you know I mean it (Mean it)

When I tell you you're the one that was on my mind, oh!

[Pre-Chorus:]

When it's said, when it's done, yeah,

I would never let you know (Let you know)

I'm ashamed of what I've done, yeah,

When I look at you.

[Chorus:]

In your eyes (Your eyes)

I see there's something burning inside you, (Inside you)

Oh, inside you, (Oh, inside you)

In your eyes, I know it hurts to smile but you try to, (But you try to)

Oh, you try to. (You try to)

[Post-Chorus:]

You always try to hide the pain, (Oh, oh)

You always know just what to say, (Oh, dear)

I always look the other way,

I'm blind, I'm blind.

In your eyes, you lie, but I don't let it define you, (Hey)

Oh, define you.

[Bridge:]

In your eyes

I see there's something burning inside you,

Oh, inside you.

[Post-Chorus:]

You always try to hide the pain,

You always know just what to say,

I always look the other way,

I'm blind, I'm blind.

In your eyes, you lie, but I don't let it define you,

Oh, define you.
