The Alan Parsons Project – You Don't Believe Lyrics 10 years ago
Okay here is what I think: its a bigger meaning song for Eric Woolfson. As you may know Eric Woolfson mostly writes the songs while Alan Parsons produces/engineers it. Here's what I think

/My eyes with your vision/
Alan Parsons always had a vision for certain albums. Eric too but..
/My choice but always your decision/
Eric could choose songs but Alan always decided what goes into the album.
/My play with your direction/
Don't really know. Maybe Alan directed the music a lot.
/Well it's my lead but always your connection/
Dunno

/But when I look into your eyes you don't believe me
I can see it in your eyes you don't believe/
Maybe Eric talked with Alan about it. But Alan never believed.

/My words, your expression/
Eric wrote the songs, but they also had always a very Alan sound to it.
/My land, always your possession/
Maybe about the name of the group.
/My song, your production/
Eric wrote everything, Alan always produced
/My expense is always your deduction/
Eric was also the manager.

/And the face I see before me
Is both sides of a mirror
You really know you've got a hold on me
And the face you're looking into
Is both sides of a window
And any way you look you see through me/
Dunno, more neutral.

/My fame, your reflection/
Eric is kinda famous but Alan is like more know
/My weakness always your protection/
Dunno. Probably because Alan only produced
/Well it's my terms on your conditions/
Dunno.
/And they're my tunes but they're your compositions/
Eric wrote, sung and did put a lot of creative juice in a lot of APP songs

Conclusions: This song was an early warning of issues Eric had with Alan and could be a reason why Alan and Eric went separate after Freudiana. I may be too far into it but its kinda based on post-APP interviews and don't get me wrong but I am a huge fan of APP, Alan and Eric but to me Eric's reasons to separate just to pursue musicals wasnt really too solid. There was more behind it
