Cyclops Lyrics

We all have secret lives
In our secret rooms,
Living in our movies,
humming our own tunes

Living life in camera,
When the night is closing down,
Sliding into darkness,
You could be like me

Where are you going?
What are you doing?
Why are you looking at the cameras eye?
Where are you staying?
Why are you leaving?
We watch you breathing through the cameras eye

We all make-up our faces
The make-up of the clown,
Happy leaving traces,
Of our childish background,

Pointing at the sky,
We can watch the stars
You think you're all alone,
But you never are...

Where are you going?
What are you doing?
Why are you looking at the cameras eye?
Where are you staying?
Why are you leaving?
We watch you breathing through the cameras eye

They ain't watching you, they ain't watching you now
They ain't watching you, they ain't watching you now

They ain't watching you, they ain't watching you now
They ain't watching you, they ain't watching you now

Where are you going?
What are you doing?
Why are you looking at the cameras eye?
Political sleazes,
Sexual divas,
We watch your heart beating through the cameras eye

Where are you going?
What are you doing?
Why are you looking at the cameras eye?
Political sleazes,
Sexual divas,
We watch your heart beating through the cameras eye

Cover art for Cyclops lyrics by Bruce Dickinson

This is possibly one of the best Bruce songs ever and it hasn't been commented on? O_O It has such a haunting atmosphere and is one of the most unique songs in the Bruce catalogue.

HEY! I love this song! haha. It has a special 1984 type theme which I can't get enough of. We watch you breathing through the camera's eye. This song is about 1984. I'm sure of it. And I agree, It is one of the best and most unique bruce songs ever.

Cover art for Cyclops lyrics by Bruce Dickinson

This song is about how the paparazzi relentlessly follows and documents the lives of celebrities. Many of these celebrities suck this up and wind up over-exposing themselves. Cyclops is a metaphor for a camera.

Great song and amazing guitar work from Roy Z here!
