Suspect in Your Eyes

Suspect in Your Eyes is a purely psychoanalytic piece. In this song, Sacred Machines urge the subject to abandon the childhood traumas and fixations that impede his/her happiness and emotional progress in the here and now.

SUSPECT IN YOUR EYES
(Carruthers/RE-VO) (1988)

Moving in a language of disguises
Waiting for the one to call your own
You and I both know the past is what you fear
Walk away now, walk away now, you will reappear

Suspect in your eyes, I know you’re there
Suspect in your eyes, I see the fear

Recognize the hand that feeds your childhood
Anger clouds your passion sense, defense is red
You and I both now that nice can be ice
Walk away now, walk away now from the compromise

Suspect in your eyes, you decide
I suspect your hands have been tied
Suspect in your eyes, terrify… sanctify.

Now’s the time to let go all the past you hide
Now’s the time to melt down all the ice you hide behind

Suspect in your eyes, I know you’re there
Suspect in the sky, come out, come out, if you dare

I suspect your hands have been tied
Can you see the need to disguise?

Suspect in your eyes, wash away those tears…
