Duel (Eye to Eye) Lyrics
Eye to eye stand winners and losers
hurt by envy, cut by greed
face to face with their own disillusion
the scars of old romances still on their cheeks
and when blow by blow the passion dies sweet little death
just have been lies the memories of gone by time
would still recall the lie
the first cut won't hurt at all
the second only makes you wonder
the third will have you on your knees
you start bleeding I start screaming
it's too late the decision is made by fate
time to prove what forever should last
whose feelings are so true as to stand the test
whose demands are so strong as to parry all attempts
and when blow by blow the passion dies sweet little death
just have been lies the memories of gone by time
would still recall the lie
the first cut won't hurt at all
the second only makes you wonder
the third will have you on your knees
you start bleeding I start screaming
the first cut won't hurt at all
the second only makes you wonder
the third will have you on your knees
you start bleeding I start screaming
the first cut won't hurt at all
the second only makes you wonder
the third will have you on your knees
you start bleeding I start screaming
the first cut won't hurt at all
the second only makes you wonder
the third will leave you on your knees
you start bleeding I start screaming
hurt by envy, cut by greed
face to face with their own disillusion
the scars of old romances still on their cheeks
and when blow by blow the passion dies sweet little death
just have been lies the memories of gone by time
would still recall the lie
the second only makes you wonder
the third will have you on your knees
you start bleeding I start screaming
time to prove what forever should last
whose feelings are so true as to stand the test
whose demands are so strong as to parry all attempts
and when blow by blow the passion dies sweet little death
just have been lies the memories of gone by time
would still recall the lie
the second only makes you wonder
the third will have you on your knees
you start bleeding I start screaming
the second only makes you wonder
the third will have you on your knees
you start bleeding I start screaming
the first cut won't hurt at all
the second only makes you wonder
the third will have you on your knees
you start bleeding I start screaming
the first cut won't hurt at all
the second only makes you wonder
the third will leave you on your knees
you start bleeding I start screaming

What? No comments on this song that exudes 80's?
I think the meaning is fairly obvious. It's comparing the whole history of a relationship to a knives duel, the lies and deceives are the ones that, blow by blow, kill the love... the lovers are nothing more than duelists.
Very popy, somewhat obvious, but a bloody truth all the way.
I think you're right about the relationship theme.
However on the album Duel and Jewel share the same lyrics but Jewel is happy and upbeat whereas Duel is sharp and harsh. nice contrasts.
@NickBrooker It's the other way round.

"The passion dies sweet little death Just have been lies"
This is very bitter and means "The orgasms were faked".
