Through These Eyes Lyrics
Through these eyes I've seen love and I've seen hate
I've seen the violence and the tears
Through these eyes, I got my schooling on the streets
I've seen the things in life you don't wanna see
Through these eyes I've seen the shape of things to come
and I've watched them all fall apart
Through these eyes I've seen the broken homes they cry
I've seen the poor man's face as he stands in line
chorus:
And though my heart has made me weary
On a road less travelled on
Through the heart it hurts so dearly,
and the pain it lingers on
Through these eyes, I've looked the devil in the face
and I've seen God's holy grace
Through these eyes, I've tried to walk the straighter line
I found myself again, I nearly lost my mind
chorus:
I've seen the violence and the tears
Through these eyes, I got my schooling on the streets
I've seen the things in life you don't wanna see
Through these eyes I've seen the shape of things to come
and I've watched them all fall apart
Through these eyes I've seen the broken homes they cry
I've seen the poor man's face as he stands in line
And though my heart has made me weary
On a road less travelled on
Through the heart it hurts so dearly,
and the pain it lingers on
and I've seen God's holy grace
Through these eyes, I've tried to walk the straighter line
I found myself again, I nearly lost my mind

good song
My English teacher last year played this song for her AP Language students; it is also my favorite Social Distortion song.
As far as meaning goes, I think he's basically saying that he's seen a lot of things throughout his life, and in spite of the trials and tribulations, he has survived it all.
Fuck do I love this sound. So much energy and feeling, fuckin just sick.
Fuck do I love this song. So much energy and feeling, fuckin just sick.
No more comments on this song? Fuck.
It's one of their best.

I know how he feels. I mean every young people does eaither.
Why are you who you are? Why can't you change the circle of pain? What made your identities? Can you make a concrete castle though you only have sand? Yes, I tried to make a concrete castle with a sand. Because, Sand is what I have got from people around me. But, sooner, My castle would wash away.
I've tried to walk the straighter line. I nearly lost my mind.
