Cover art for Lazy Eye lyrics by Goo Goo Dolls, The

(The world spins 'round the secret lives / Of everyone that needs to hide / A cheap parade of endless lies / Filters through this lazy eye) The world seems to revolve around people that have something to hide. Everyone seems to be lying or hiding something, but he sees through it all. (And I don't believe in signs / No, I don't believe your lies) He doesn't believe in the lies of the world. (Caught in the breakdown) He feels like he's caught in the breakdown of the world, and there's no way out. (Lose yourself in no one's life / Trapped in nowhere's empty light) Now it's about a girl who feels lost in her life, and feels like she's no one. She feels like she's trapped in an empty space. (Words like fists that tear you down / Crash before we hit the ground) There have been a lot of awful things said to her, and the words seem to tear her down, like being hit. Before she's torn all the way down to the ground, she crashes and gets caught in a breakdown.

That's what I make out of the song.
