Two Glass Eyes Lyrics

I heard you’re on a witchhunt here tonight
Desperate to reclaim those limelight heights
But oh I can’t believe the envy cocktails you consume
and now you condescend to take me for a fool

Rescue me
Separate my desires
Capture these wicked men and release my mind

So summon those ghosts and try with all your might
The past is obsolete and you will find how
That chip with which you operate like someone owes you for your greatness
is the very thing that steals your heart’s desires...

Vicious men with vile ways
so envious in all their days
What will it take to demonstrate
Celebrity breeds infamy

Deliver me
Liberate us from envy
Reconcile every heart and destroy my pride

You come at me with villainy
In every sense its irony
Because the very act of jealousy
Has sealed yourself to slavery

Fame is infamy

Keep it true to the song

Fix what’s wrong, but don’t rewrite what the artist wrote. Stick to the official released version — album booklet, label site, verified lyric video, etc. If you’re guessing, pause and double-check.

Respect the structure

Songs have rhythm. Pages do too. Leave line breaks where they belong. Don’t smash things together or add extra empty space just for looks.

Punctuation counts (but vibe-editing doesn’t)

Correct typos? Yes. Re-punctuating a whole verse because it ‘looks better’? Probably not. Keep capitalization and punctuation close to the official source.

Don’t mix versions

If you’re editing the explicit version, keep it explicit. If it’s the clean version, keep it clean. No mashups.

Let the lyrics be lyrics

This isn’t the place for interpretations, memories, stories, or trivia — that’s what comments are for. Keep metadata, translations, and bracketed stage directions out unless they’re officially part of the song.

Edit lightly

If two lines are wrong… fix the two lines. No need to bulldoze the whole page. Think ‘surgical,’ not ‘remix.’

When in doubt, ask the crowd

Not sure what they’re singing in that fuzzy bridge? Drop a question in the comments and let the music nerds swarm. Someone always knows.

I love how the title is just so smart, like if you have two glass eyes then you are just blind, though with the lyrics it definitely feels like moral blindness (vicious men, with vile ways, so envious in all their days). It seems to describe how focusing on achieving wealth, fame and indulgence can destroy your life, sending you down a one-sided path with a dead end, better just to enjoy your fleeting life while you still can. 10/10 song, P86 never dissapoints.

Proper lyrics:

I heard you’re on a witchhunt here tonight, Desperate to reclaim those limelight heights. But, oh, I can’t believe the envy cocktails you consume, And now you condescend to take me for a fool.

Rescue me, Separate my desires. Capture these wicked men, And release my mind.

Summon those ghosts and try with all your might, The past is obsolete and you will find how. That chip with which you operate like someone owes you for your greatness, Is the very thing that steals your heart’s desires.

Rescue me, Separate my desires. Capture these wicked men, And release my mind.

Vicious men with vile ways, So envious in all their days. What will it take to demonstrate, Celebrity breeds infamy.

Rescue me, Separate my desires. Capture these wicked men, And release my mind.

Deliver me, Liberate us from envy. Reconcile every heart, And destroy my pride.

You come at me with villainy, In every sense its irony. Because the very act of jealousy, Has sealed your fate to slavery.

Fame is infamy.
