The title “Whose Eye Is It Anyway??” is a reference to both the television show “Whose Line Is It Anyway?” and the phrase “An eye for an eye”, which is a saying derived from a Bible passage that talks about a punishment for a crime being as severe as the crime itself.
The song is from the perspecti...
[Verse 1]
My head is overflowing, with these thoughts
That if I return the favor you might understand
But I know, I know you could never carry the burden you’ve left with me and I can’t give it back
So why even try?
[Pre-Chorus]
I’m reeling from all of the pain
I feel it making me insane
[Chorus]
If it’s an eye for an eye then we all go blind
If it came to it would you cross that line?
With the taste of the blood on your tongue like wine
And the weight of your crimes weighing on your mind
It’s an eye for an eye and we all go blind again
[Verse 2]
An arm and a leg, my friend, les yeux d'la tete
I never give as much as I get
This path of heart attacks is paved with folks who only gave their enemies what they had coming
I don’t know if it’s worth it
[Pre-Chorus]
I’m reeling from all of the pain
(I’m reeling from all of the pain)
I feel it making me insane
(I feel it making me insane!)
[Chorus]
If it’s an eye for an eye then we all go blind
If it came to it would you walk that line?
With the taste of the blood on your tongue like wine
And the weight of your crimes weighing on your mind
Is it a knife or a lie is it in your back
Is it all I need? Is it all I have?
Will it bring me the peace that I need so desperately?
Will I see?
It’s an eye for an eye and we all go blind again
[Bridge]
When you seek vengeance you must dig two graves
(Eye for an eye, we all blind)
(Eye for an eye, we all blind)
(Eye for an eye, we all blind)
(Eye for an eye, we all blind)
(Eye for an eye, we all blind)
[Chorus]
If it’s an eye for an eye then we all go blind
If it came to it would you walk that line?
With the taste of the blood on your tongue like wine
And the weight of your crimes weighing on your mind
Is it a knife or a lie is it in your back?
Is it all I need? Is it all I have?
Will it bring me the peace that I need so desperately?
Will I see?
It’s an eye for an eye and we all go blind again
