Would you mind is the raw emotion that comes with being cheated on by a significant other. The “Gaze of strange eyes” is the act of loving someone you’re not dating.
[Verse 1]
Ignition on this wonderful night of submission
Promises break when she's away from home
Can I listen for the drag of the hands towards fission?
She's losing battles to tempting shadows when she's alone
For all that I know
[Chorus]
You needed someone else to help you forget the reason
You fell for me at all, in this hell of a season
If I spend the night in the gaze of strange eyes
Would you mind, dear?
Oh, would you mind?
[Verse 2]
Been tasting this sweet little lie from Eden
She reached the bruised, forbidden fruit with such ease
While she's wasting away she'll say there's no meanin'
To his touch, to his love, but she still needs
To blame it on me
[Chorus]
Did you need somebody else to help you forget the reason
That you fell for me at all, in this hell of a season?
If I spend the night in the gaze of strange eyes
Would you mind, dear?
Oh, would you mind?
[Bridge]
Look I get it
You ain't friends with the monsters in your head
I too am a sinner
But my sins ain't in your bed
You said before you felt lonely
So how does it feel now that you don't own me?
[Chorus]
'Cause if you needed someone else to help you fight off your demons
You're just a body, just a shell, just a heart that stopped beating
So when I spent the night in the gaze of strange eyes
Would you mind?
Oh, tell me would you mind?
Oh, would you mind?
Yes I know that you'll mind
