Watching You Lyrics

Have you ever had the feeling
Someone's watching you
Listening to everything you say
Satellite surveillance
Creeping high above us all
Watching every little thing you do
Cause they're watching you
They're watching me
Invasion of your privacy
There is no place really left to hide
Everything's in view
Can you see the writings on the wall
We live inside a fish eye lens
There's nothing they can't see
Can you feel them staring in at you (yeah)
They're watching you
They're watching me
Invasion of your privacy
They're watching you
They're watching me
Invasion of your privacy
(Come on)
There's a lens on every corner
No one hides from view
Who's behind the camera
No one has a clue
Are we getting paranoid
Or is it really true
Is the camera zooming in on cue
Take the shot, roll the film
There's nothing more to say
It does no good we'll never get away (yeah)
They're watching you
They're watching me
Invasion of your privacy
They're watching you
They're watching me
Invasion of your privacy
They're watching you
They're watching me
Invasion of your privacy
Watching you
They're watching me
They're watching you
They're watching me
They're watching you
Watching you

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.

This song addresses personal themes of surveillance, invasion of privacy, and the feeling of being constantly monitored, reflecting a sense of paranoia and unease about the idea of being observed and scrutinized, whether it be through physical surveillance systems or metaphorical eyes watching every move. It describes the omnipresence of surveillance technology, such as satellites and cameras, that have made it almost impossible to find a place to hide; An idea is presented of a possible world where one's every action is under scrutiny, with references to satellite surveillance and the feeling of being observed from all angles. The song serves as a commentary on possible the implications of an evergrowing surveillance culture and the impact it has on individual freedom and autonomy.
