Behind Blue Eyes (The Who cover) Lyrics

No one knows what it's like
To be the bad man
To be the sad man
Behind blue eyes
And no one knows what it's like
To be hated
To be faded to telling only lies

But my dreams they aren't as empty
As my conscious seems to be
I have hours, only lonely
My love is vengeance
That's never free

No one knows what its like
To feel these feelings
Like I do, and I blame you!
No one bites back as hard
On their anger
None of my pain woe
Can show through

But my dreams they aren't as empty
As my conscious seems to be
I have hours, only lonely
My love is vengeance
That's never free

Discover

L-I-M-P Say it
Discover

L-I-M-P Say it
Discover

L-I-M-P Say it
Discover

L-I-M-P Say it
Discover

No one knows what its like
To be mistreated, to be defeated
Behind blue eyes
No one know how to say
That they're sorry and don't worry
I'm not telling lies

But my dreams they aren't as empty
As my conscious seems to be
I have hours, only lonely
My love is vengeance
That's never free

No one knows what its like
To be the bad man, to be the sad man
Behind blue eyes

In the clouds
All the graves
I'll stay if you
Go away
Concrete
Tall as the sky
Movement passi'n me by
When you blush
What a rush
Reminisce
Cold crush
Next door ear to the wall
All the tension on me for the call
I wish I wish
I wish it was all that easy
I wish I wish
I wish it was all that easy

Cover art for Behind Blue Eyes (The Who cover) lyrics by Limp Bizkit

Nope.... it's a song about anger,rage,creed,hate,love,looseing,sadness. It's about loveing and messing up. Makeing wrong choices and not being able to fix them. it is about hurting the one you love. yet wanting them back at the same time. it is about being the bad guy, realizeing your wrongs and wanting to make them good. It's just about really wakeing up to reality and seeing what you have done. Haveing to overcome the things in your past so you can move on with that love you share in the present. In other words letting go of old feelings that are harbored so that new may enter into a soul that shall love again!!

God damn yeah !!!

I feel exactly that way about this song !

Hmm, this song was done better by The Who, but I think Limp Bizkit have definently put a more modern aspect to it. I don't mind it.

Grow up people.

Let me just state, as a disclaimer, that I'm a HUGE fan of The Who and I despise Limp Bizkit in general. Now, that being said:

You pompous piece of trash. This is a fine cover. It doesn't have the total feel of the original, but it's an adequate interpretation. The fact that you claim the original is "one of your favorites" and this is "the worst cover song ever" raises questions about your actual objectivity. Stop trying to sound smart and cultured with your put-down of Limp Bizkit and worship of The Who on what is two very similar versions of the SAME DAMN SONG. You are definitely the stereotypical ignorant trash Eagles fan. (But they have one hell of a team this year)

On the other side, you're so right about how they left out the killer solo, which is the highlight of the song for me.

Eh... Why do people post covers. Townshend wrote it. Talk about it on The Who page.

I don't know why everbody's trashing Limp. I mean, I don't like any of there music, but they did a surprisingly good job on this song. And about taking out the solo, they had to make it there's somehow; they did the Who's rythm or whatever. So, I approve of it. And don't give me lip for this, I happen to be very devoted to the Classic Rock era. PotterHead96

L.I.M.P. Shameless self promotion... tch. Its a song that shows, behind everyone good, evil, there is the opposite. Don't judge people by your knowledge, maybe there is another side who you haven't discovered.

i think its a decent song, i like his voice when he sings, whatever you think, but we all have are own opinions. but can i ask, what is the point in slagging it off. if you dont like it, why go onto this song page?

I say the "Discover L.I.M.P. Say it" is a brillant use of the Speak-N-Spell. Seriously, what other song has utilize on such old technology this this one has? Seriously, using old techinology in music is cool. Heck, a bunch of DJs use old Gameboys to make techno tracks (A whole subculture has come about with this).

Besides, the music video was made for a promotion for the film "Gothika", so naturally (seeing that the film features the song) the film's leading star (Halle) was going to be in it. The reason for the kiss in the video was to convey the switching of sides. Halle begins as the doctor and Durst as the patient, but then they kiss and then she's the one in Dursts previous position. She is now "behind his eyes" so to speak, and he is in hers.

That's about it.
