In My Eyes

Liner Notes

So, when I started with the whole "Kim o' the Concrete Jungle" project, there were some rules: 1) no standard 4/4 rock rhythms with a backbeat; 2) beats concentrating on the toms; 3) bass forward in the mix. I haven't always stuck strictly to that, but in this song I have.

Lyrics

From my secret place I see in my eye
All the sights below, as they pass me by
The forbidden fruits, the lowered voices
Misunderstandings and desperate choices

It's all happening in my eyes
Laid out before me, I wonder why
And it makes me think of despair
And desperation I see there

Under tyranny, in silence suffer
Those with privelege crush under their heels
All opposition, all independence
No mercy offered, no quarter given

And there in my eyes
Observation doesn't lie
And everything I see tells a tale
In my eyes

This is some prog rock madness and it’s brilliant. That odd time signature keeps you on your toes. Killer lyrics!
