Eye is a song about appearances-
and when your forced to choose between telling the truth and being polite-

i can't give u a good reason why- but all i've ever wanted in life was to be myself-
it’s part of the reason my music is a lil different than what's on the radio -

the full song in its entirety is 3 in movements and the orchestral form was inspired by a tiny desire i have to bring back the era of tropical lounge music and classic pop - like Martin Denny The Beach Boys and The Supremes

I recorded and produced the song myself. maybe i was using the timpani setting on my casio. Maybe not. Haha but in general i guess i wrote this song cuz i struggle all the time with feeling like i gotta sound more like what's on the radio for anybody to gimmie a shot.

And dealing with the real truth which is if i did that, then i’d be lying to myself and i’d be a fake- and i guess i just don't think anybody should have to live that way too.




LYRICS:

i look myself in the eye
The things that i can’t deny
i place them all on a shelf
i’m trying to be someone else

like it’s some game that i’m playing
where everywhere you go
it feels like your drowning

been on a pedestal since i was a child
that made me just a little too wild
but you won’t catch me in a fight
i hold tight
like it’s some game that i’m playing
where it feels like your drowning

you say, hey
i could of done it differently
you say, hey
it will come for you
everything you do
it will come creeping up on you

you say, hey,
you say hey,
it’s someone else’s life
but it feels like
i’m living somebody else’s life
i could of done it differently

cause everybody else
needs something from somebody else
and you’re just like everybody else
but i could of done it differently

i’ve been a million times
i’ve gone the wrong way before
i’ve been out to sea and i’ve got back to shore
i’ve been there before
i’ve been a million times
don’t you listen to their lies
i’ve gone the wrong way before

don’t u listen to em
don’t be shy
take a shot and give it another try
just take a knife
and cut that bullet out of your side
