Dead Eyes Lyrics

3 A.M.
I read it
Your room is empty
I'm saddened

Out in the heat
She bought it
You wake up one way
And stay there

She can't reach
Your wages
But she can visit
Hotel rooms

She can't share
Your stages
But she can service
Your back room

I don't want to know you give me dead eyes
I'd hate to have a body that was stuck with dead eyes
The things you said were just not right
And I don't want to know you if you give me dead eyes

I'd like to see this end

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'm pretty sure this is just about a relationship that would never work. "She can't share your stages but she can service your back room" makes me think that maybe the speaker is ashamed of the girl in the relationship.

Also why has no one else commented on any of these songs? I love The Like Young!
