I have to say... I love a lot of Jojo's music. It's very catchy. But I have lost a lot of respect for her after this song. It of course, samples "Africa" by Toto and that is a classic, awesome song. One of my all-time favorites. She butchered it and it sends chills down my spine whenever I hear it. I cannot believe she ruined such a classic song. |

My cousin/best friend's name is Sarah and she is marrying her fiance, Zach next year. They have been together for a reeeeeally long time. Granted, their names are spelled the normal way. But I love this song because it reminds me of them. I mean, how cool would it be to have a song with you AND your lover's names in it? |

| Billy Idol – Eyes Without A Face Lyrics
| 18 years ago

This is from SongFacts.com:
Les Yeux Sans Visage (Eyes Without a Face) is the title to a chillingly horrific yet classically poetic 1959 film from acclaimed French director Georges Franju. In it, a gifted plastic surgeon is involved in a near fatal auto accident which horribly disfigures the once beautiful face of his beloved daughter. Along with his assistant, he abducts young women so that he may surgically remove their facial features and graft their beauty onto that of his daughter's grotesque countenance. More than the typical Mad Scientist gore flick of the "horror" genre in movies, it deals with real humanistic themes rather than the loud crash and bang after a minute long string instrument is played in a high key. The arrogance, vanity, and what we ultimately come to realize, guilt of the father who now treats his daughter as a sort of porcelain doll with interchangeable parts. Though he supposedly loves her so, what he does in effect, is dehumanize her for the sake of his own personal redemption. The song "Eyes Without a Face" uses similar imagery for effect. However, he tackles the concept of the modern romance and uses the same metaphors the movie used to show the absence of humanity and how cold and callous the modern world has grown to be. All that we (in the song's case "we" have the role of the narrator) have endured getting here has made us like the doctor. While the daughter has become eyes without a face (she wears a mask a la Halloween's Michael Myers and the only visible part of her face are her eyes), the doctor has become a face without eyes. He has blinded himself to the hideousness that he has involved himself, his family, and his poor victims in. While the woman in the relationship in the Billy Idol song is "Eyes Without a Face," the narrator has become the face without the eyes. Wrapped in guilt for what once was a perfect love, he must face his own pettiness and the fact that he has forever altered his partner and their relationship. |

I was used to be a victim of domestic violence, and after a "fight" with my (ex)boyfriend one night... In tears, I ran out of the house and drove off. I happened to have "The Bends" in my CD-player and this song came on. I have never had a song speak to me so much, at such the perfect moment. Luckily, life is better now. But it's true... we all hate being so vulnerable. And this song describes that feeling. |

If you really read the lyrics, it actually looks like it's about how the man doesn't want to be in a relationship anymore. It seems like maybe he's cheated or something and feels he needs to fix himself (like the crack in the cieling he needs to repair). If I AM on the right track though, I wonder why they would put this song at the end of Sixteen Candles when Jake Ryan and Sam are finally getting TOGETHER. This was must MY interpretation of the lyrics. |

I'm not sure, but I think it's just a story of a couple working through their problems, to make is to "when we're older." Whenever I hear this song though, sadly, it reminds me of when they played it during the scene in "Fast Times at Ridgemont High" where Stacey goes to get the abortion. It's such a beautiful song though. |
