Cover art for Something Is Sacred lyrics by Eels

'Take a look in the killer's eyes And you see there's nothing there But something is sacred in your eyes And somethin' to believe On a rainy day And as the world will blow to bits I'll cradle you and hold you tight.'

he is comparing the eyes of a killer, a very sinful person to the eyes of someone he loves and describes her eyes as 'sacred' and this gives him a sense of security and warmth that all around him the world is going to shit he can fall back on the reassurance that there are some nice, loving people out there. ... like me! hehe :)
