In 1976, Istanbul, Turkey, there was a major terrorist attack in which 4 were killed and 20 were wounded by Japanese Red Army terrorists in an attack at Istanbul airport.

Roughly translated into English, through the samples, I think this song about a person thinking of traveling to Istanbul, one of the most beautiful cities in the world in order to see it's beauty. Istanbul happens to be very far from this person so they person would rather look into the beautiful brown eyes of a significant other. It is said that they eyes are the windows to the soul.

It's about admiring the beauty of another human to a point where it's like you're staring into their soul. To kill another human is a terrible thing, and unfortunately Terrorism uses the killing of other humans as a scare tactic to promote their agenda. Very sad that terrorism is real, but no matter what the human soul/spirit will never die!

Excuse my hippie rant, very good song.
