Flyleaf - Eyes To See (lyrics)

[bridge11233]

I love the first verse because it reminds me of all the crap the bullies have done to me. Thanks Flyleaf :)

[xxxAnimeObsession]

@Sinisterpineapple I know what Ginasings means, and if I told my Dad that he doesn't understand anything about other people, and that he lives in his head,and he's so selfish and even less of a grown up than I am, I would be lucky to live, I know telling random people is the only way 2 keep from holding everything inside myself, maybe people give thumbs up because they too AGREE.and maybe said person is glad to not B the only one. fans know the meaning, but still interpret their own meaning

[thebestdamnthingxo97]

Flyleaf lyrics are so deep and I love it because they have a meaning <3

[ggarcia0087]

I love this song but i dont really understand the lyrics

[abstractdoll1995]

best.<3

[neonrocker4life]

Flyleaf really knows how to turn my bad days into good ones <3

[TheIcabod]

this song is called who i am. not eyes to see.

[shaniali]

@TheIcabod

Who I am is a different song, this song is called eyes to see

[Underpressuregirl21]

i love my family,but im not an insult. fuck that. im alittle messed up in the head. srry my grades arent the best and the way i look isnt good enough. i knw i got flaws but i also know im not perfect. to the ppl who wanna talk about me. imma be a jerk to them jerks, tht'll make them hurt.

[monkey71297]

What album is this from??

[andrea97mw2]

@monkey71297 i found it on the 2004 demos cd. there's like 21 tracks on it lol. this is number 4 (:

[FlyleafKaraoke]

@andrea97mw2 Really? Are they all on Youtube? Because I didn't know that they had a demo in 2004. Thanks :D

[soslojoe01]

I love how Flyleaf makes music that draws in people from every kind & every faith. I know that they have been chosen by God to lead people to God. I have alot of respect for the way that God uses them to call on people, It's That the loving kindness that God expresses to those that are lost that I can't get enough of & it just goes to show that God cares about all of his children, not just the ones who believe in him and are faithful to him. Just like Lacey, I use to be an athiest. God is Great!

[janettefloyd]

i freaking love her voice

[nikkiannacoolness]

I think it's silly how people are worrying about the religious meaning of these songs. I'm wiccan and believe in a goddess but yet I listen to these songs and dnt even think bout the chrisstian meaning behind it. it can be interperated in other ways

[bleachrocksmyworld10]

i no this has nothing to do with flyleaf(my fav band)but i felt the need to say this...THUMBS UP 4 TACO BELL(THINK OUTSIDE THE BUN)!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[thehappybean]

@bleachrocksmyworld10 AWWWWW YEEAAAAAA TACO BELL, YO

[LifesSmile]

Everytime I hear flyleaf I see the medaphors she uses that're biblical always explaining the blindness of people towards Jesus and how they're living without him and what joy they're missing out on ._. sad that most people listen to this and can't understand because they don't know biblical references and make up their own meaning....

[kxaxrxsxoxnx]

@LifesSmile i'm agnostic. and i listen to this music. i love it in fact. if she wanted everyone to know the exact meaning, then she would sing the exact words. she sings these songs so they can be interpreted. they won't always be right on. people who aren't religious can be very happy. i am. i may be missing out on something in your opinion, but i'm not in mine. she may be making biblical references, but that doesn't mean that you have to interpret it that way.

[LifesSmile]

@kxaxrxsxoxnx xD why is it something that doesn't matter, people always have to debate it? And this is pointless discussion that doesn't matter at all xD so it's usless to talk to each other ~ Thus not responding after this ^-^.

[kxaxrxsxoxnx]

@LifesSmile why is that so funny to you?

[kxaxrxsxoxnx]

@LifesSmile i mean, you say that this is a pointless discussion, yet you joined in.

[Shaestel]

@LifesSmile -- that is not sad. I do not believe in God, so I don't find the biblical references. I see this as an attack on authority, on parents and peers etc. 'Tis how I interpret it. And I am happy with it that way.

[13hockeyswim13]

@LifesSmile I'm Christian, and I think it's great that people; religious or not, come on to Flyleaf videos and listen and appreciate the music, which is really the point. Let them make up their own meanings, that's one of the best parts of music, what you hear and what you think is the meaning to you, and that's all that matters.

[Jennyrocker510]

this song is talking bout,if u had eyes to see who i am and wish youd understand me!

this song is for my parents because they dnt understand me only a few do!

[rockeywhine24]

i love this band!!i love lacey!!:D WOOOOHHH!!:)<33333333333333333­3333

[DRAMAdramabeats20oh4]

I got goosebumps from this song!! <3 Flyleaf

[ParamoreLvrRIOT]

Breathtaking..

(and yes, my username has paramore in it. Don't yell at me..)

[karuni360]

@ParamoreLvrRIOT they r both amazingg

[CaitaCat100]

to my mom. Hoping you'll overcome the addiction.

[Daevaina]

@CaitaCat100 Same goes for me.

[karuni360]

@CaitaCat100 good luck to her :]

[AD4MP4]

10 people dont see the reason why they fail...

[NathChibi]

who I am

Who I am!!!!

DARN IT! It keeps on echoing in my mind!

[1234BIRDY1234]

Flyleaf forever </3

[GinaSingz1]

Song goes out to my dad. I love you but I'm not made of flaws. Im also not made of perfection. Truth is, Im made of you. I wish youd understand I cant be the perfect daughter youve always wanted. I love you Dad. 4ever. No matter how much you want perfection. <3

[brokenandjaded]

@GinaSingz1 Keep your head up! Eventually he'll see who you are and love you for it but if he doesn't, know that God does.

[HunterHanson15]

@GinaSingz1 Expectations are on of the most destructive forces I know of.

[danieLA21rox]

this song really relates to me and my mom she doesnt see what i am but only my flaws. its hard to liv with that.

[jonin276]

Everyone should know that Flyleaf isnt actually a Christian BAND. Yes, all the members are Christian. Yes, there is a slight influence in there music. But Lacey has said in interviews that they arent trying to be a christian band.

[akaiameochiru]

@jonin276 No, not a Christian band, but they don't label themselves as one because they don't want people to be forced into listening to their music. She's also said that every song they make is inspired by their faith. Personally, I don't see why the distinction should be made anyway, They're a good band and deserved to be listened to, and it shouldn't matter what they label themselves.

[LillyMartin3z]

aaah i totally met lacey and Sameer last night after there concert here in corpus christi tx. There so awesome! So down to earth and nice! they actually stopped to conversate with fans that were waiting outside for them. Show was absolutely incredible

[mummygirl305]

@LillyMartin3z you are so lucky!!

[topseykretts23]

paramore can't sing live. they're horrible seen them both.. flyleaf is just so real, so deep, so into the meaning of the music.. they sing to the lord and you can feel it all around you i had my eyes closed most of the show.. a few songs i was in tears.. lacey mosley is such a beautiful person inside & out. they move me.

[topseykretts23]

paramore can't sing live. they're horrible seen them both.. flyleaf is just so real, so deep, so into the meaning of the music.. they sing to the lord and you can feel it all around you i had my eyes closed most of the show.. a few songs i was in tears.. lacey mosley is such a beautiful person inside & out. they move me.

[BrittMarcil]

Their songs are absolutely amazing!!!!

P.S. To the people who listen to the music and complain about religion and what not, SHUT UP! Don't you see the message. Flyleaf doesn't care if you are a christian or not, there music isn't about that. i mean open your ears!

[ellaj01]

LOL at the people fighting.

It's an opinion, there's no need for yelling at eachother.

Sorry if I sound mean or pushy or whatever, but I love them both. :D

[devilshomie]

I'm a christian but i wished people would stop putting religion into music. I think the songs deal with her personal life or something like that. I don't like bands because there christian I like them because of the good music they make. Love Flyleaf

[musiclover10301]

this is just an amazing song

[paramoreflyleaf4567]

really guys why do you half to argue over paramore and flyleaf they are both good in my opinion i think paramore is better cuz they sound better live

[harlenie1]

@paramoreflyleaf4567 its about the message not how they sound live. -__-

[Charms522]

[ecolinkinparkgirl657]

[neonrocker4life]

@TWILIGHT34H5YU8T138T: shutup, about paramore. im sorry i love paramore but they suck compared to flyleaf.

[TWILIGHT34H5YU8T138T]

@neonrocker4life -_-" thank u for stating ur opinion n its koo n all not trying to argue but not everyone feels the same as you :) i like flyleaf a tad bit more dan paramore but i still love paramore and what i had stated in my previos comment on the vid. is my opinion and how i feel.

[neonrocker4life]

@TWILIGHT34H5YU8T138T: didnt mean to be a jerk but i hate how people compare paramore and flyleaf.

[TWILIGHT34H5YU8T138T]

@neonrocker4life its kool im sorry u feel that way but i didnt mean to campare jux sayin it wud be kool if dey did a song together :)

[jjwatshisname]

Flyleaf are an awesome awesome great band. Fullstop.

[bnkzelda]

@purpleninjapickle1 really they should it would be epic lol I've been thinking thr for a while and I disent think anyone would agree

[PurpleNinjaPickle1]

paramore and flyleaf should get together to make a awesome song

[Mikeatike]

Lol is this song saying why Lacey is a vegan? Hahaha lol :)

[telephonepaparazzi]

flyleaf is lovely. paramore is good. these bands are both my favorite bands, but still flyleaf is better!

[saranicole9009]

I like Paramore, but Flyleaf is much more talented, in my opinion of course.

[johnwicked100]

lacey and haley must have been twins!! just kidding hha fuck those religious racialist!!

[XtremeBass15]

where did you get this song from?

[TheMidnightDew]

@Jbottoplayer lol Paraleaf.

[seventysoul]

I really love Flyleaf after I heard the song "I'm so sick" in the past years..Man,I'm really addicted now to Lacey..ahahaha

[96andronic]

this is so relevant to someone i know right now...

[TheSquigster]

i thought the eyes woud be so they could see how empty they were... idk thats just what i got out of it xD but she deos put things in the hardest to understand ways haha <3 flyleaf

[Fayeswiftclaws]

I love this song and I'm not a christian. For Flyelaf's songs, I more or less look for songs that have a good tune. Flyleaf is really and anybody's band.

[theworldGodonlyknows]

butterflies

[baisi7]

I think when they say "to see inside your stomach" it means to see who they are. To see their thoughts, and who they are. They could see who they are.

[eeflien0909]

I don't get it why the lyrics say that you have got to have eyes in your stomach?

Sorry, I'm Dutch, maybe it's something typical American?

[battleax86]

No, I'm American and I don't get the lyrics either...

[eeflien0909]

Oh, OK.

thanks (;

[jessicathejaywolf]

you know that guilty feeling? it's kindof a "stomach emotion"

[Multifarious222]

God bless to everyone, The God I believe in loves everyone beyond what can even be imagined, he's waiting for each and everyone of us to find the will to change and find him. I believe that, & one more thing, just because Jesus has sacrificed himself for our sins, I believe doesn't give us a reason to decide and change tomorrow instead of today.

[Multifarious222]

I've done plenty of wrong, even small things... I have tried letting the things I know to be wrong in my heart fade away.. But sometimes it's hard, and I think I just have to ask God everyday to forgive me and lend me a helping hand.. I am so incredibly ready to extract everything bad and wrong that fills my every sense of entity.

[ForeveruXTokiohotel]

i love this song so much!! did chu know she went to someones church recently?

[XSephoraXx]

Whats the albums name?? =D

[Negogodson]

this was a good song ive never hear it before but im glad i did...and i think its about recognizing who your are for the most part...like really knowing yourself..good or bad ya kno

[198flyleaf]

tnx o0Teaho0

[198flyleaf]

i dont realy get this song can someory explain please

[o0Teah0o]

i think this is what it means...

shes talking about a guy and saying he doesnt see what a disgusting person he is and that he doesnt realize who she really is

[slowcooker1234]

@198flyleaf the song is abt u should see wat your actions are and if they're good or bad and how lacely is trying to help this person but they seem to ignore wat she is saying to them...well i think thats wat it means

[lovesanimefan4eva]

yeah but that don't mean their a Christian band, but whatever.. it dont matter it was an opinion ?

[amoshiggs]

@lovesanime: yeah, I don't think you can call Paramore a "Christian band". Or at least the idea of it throws me off. How can you break the Third Commandment*** in your music and still be honoring God?

***"Thou shalt not take The Name of The Lord thy God in vain; for The Lord will not hold him guiltless that taketh His Name in vain." (Exodus 20:7 KJV)

[happycocoa1]

@amoshiggs: why r you talkign about paramore, this is a flyleaf song

[plzpray2day]

everyone brakes commandments daily,that doesnt make them less of a believer then anyone else

[amoshiggs]

@plzpray2day: Sure, I agree that breaking a commandment doesn't make you a non-believer. However, if a band is going to be considered a "Christian band" (and I personally see no evidence for Paramore being placed in such a category), but if they were going to be considered a Christian band, then they should expect to get called out on repeatedly using God's name in vain in one of their most popular songs.

[plzpray2day]

may i ask wat your definition of using God's name in vain is??? using God's name in vain is basically saying that God is worthless/worth no vaule/idle/foolish..and thats soo not wat they are doing

[plzpray2day]

and i didnt even think that flyleaf and paramore where in the same genre...

[plzpray2day]

they are a Christian band..they state that in every single song and interview they are in

[plzpray2day]

sry thought you was talking about flyleaf

[lovesanimefan4eva]

@plzpray2day :/

its okayy

[lovesanimefan4eva]

I was talking about for paramore... not flyleaf.... ..I was responding to someone else...

[markedrules]

i compare flyleaf and evanesenc because they r my favs

[leianarose]

me too but paramore flyleaf evansecence are my favs eccept that paramores not really like lacey or amy...or they religous?

[lovesanimefan4eva]

umm apparently they do believe in God, and stuff. But it has nothing to do with thier music :) .. if that helps. lol

[MrsGerardWay2013]

i think people compare flyleaf and paramore 'cause they're both girl singers. 'cause they are completely different. but if the girl singers is the reason, you might as well add in fireflight, hey monday, and no doubt. anyway, love flyleaf and this song. i'm addicted to it :)

[usweluvsmusic]

just quit comparing bands im sure if lacey saw all of this she would be dissapointed

[NYCgirl429]

i agree, flyeaf and paramore are different bands. people need to stop comparing them because they're both great.

[CherryRose484]

Paramore cannot compete with Flyleaf. Flyleaf is the real winners. Their music, lyrics & videos shows it.

I love this song. The lyrics, message, music & her voice.

This is my favorite Flyleaf song (:

[luvrock4eva516]

I've been a HUGE fan of Flyleaf for forever, and this song shows why!!

[japaul1977]

How did you get this? Its awepowersome!!!

[rocker97ifly]

awsome! ashrockfan you truly love flyleafe that makes you awsome!! i see your probobly critian and so God bless you!!

[jesusfreak399]

This song is so amazing! I love it so much. And i agree. . .This song is for everybody!!

[Rockstar000027]

I've seen Flyleaf twice living in Vegas, and they're awesome live! I LOVE Lacey's speeches! I went to see them @ free exit concerts and when they came on, it went dark n quiet n just Lacey started singing "I Love You, Lord"... So awesome! Praise Jesus!

[krinaJ]

why do people fight over flyleaf vs. paramore?

They're completely different styles of music, hahaah.

<3 FLYLEAF

[niknoodle321]

It doesnt matter if you are a Christian, a Jew, a Muslim, or any religion at all Flyleaf is an awesome band and their music isnt and shouldnt just be for Christians!!!! Be proud of what you believe whatever it is you do believe!!!! (Im a Christian and dang proud of it too!!!)

[truthseeker0114]

So very true! It is for all to heed her msg. She is so great!

[Ragnelondite]

@niknoodle321 I agree. They can be a witness. Many non-Christians love Flyleaf, Skillet, TFK, Relient K, Switchfoot, etc. and it is a wonderful thing.

[pimprigo13]

@Ragnelondite skillet ain't a christian band pplz im tired of ppl sayin' they are christian.

[Ragnelondite]

@pimprigo13 Are you kidding me? Skillet IS a Christian Band. I'm a Panhead. They have a WORSHIP Album. The song Forgiven is about God's Love, Hero is about Jesus, Whispers in the Dark is From God's perspective, and read the a lbum where they give their thanks- They thank God first and foremost. Finally, Check Wikipedia, and it will say they are Christian. So don't be sick of the truth.

[twigawesomeness]

@pimprigo13 they are a christian band whether you like it or not. Just accept it. all their songs talk about Christ, Christianity, etc. so just shut up and deal.

[2813Jasper]

@niknoodle321 Amen

[PARAMOREFREAK110]

@niknoodle321 you're right . there is a whole mess of people who say those things

[Kayceeeeeeeee]

@niknoodle321 finally someone who talks some sense!

im not a christian personallly but flyleaf atleast opened my eyes and showed me everyone has there own beliefs and we shoudnt fight.. flyleaf are an open band and im proud to say i love flyleaf and want them to carry on without anyone hating on them! :D

[crosko42]

<3 This song. I wish they would put this on an album, but leave the vocals intact, I love the way Lacey sounds during this song.

[roxxitango]

quiz  paramore or fly leaf i choose flyleaf

[StarburstKJC85]

flyleaf all the wayyy =) love them wayy more than paramore ♥

[alexyvettea]

there just more down to earth than paramore. Paramore seems arrogant to me

[StarburstKJC85]

i know rite same here =) and flyleafs songs have so much more feeling in their songs than paramore♥ =)

[BethBubble]

I agree, Paramore are good and all... but Flyleaf have raw talent, y'know? :)

[bdnmte]

totally flyleaf. i like paramore and all, but flyleaf completely beats them <3 ^_^

[Jbottoplayer]

How about they join together, they could be Paraleaf or Flymore. lol

[L30NlTU5]

@Jbottoplayer LOL Somehow I think that would be cool, but I'd miss the old Flyleaf. Maybe for a couple songs they could be the same band. That would be awesome. =)

[SeaTroIITakeover]

@Jbottoplayer No. They are both great bands. But no.

[Jbottoplayer]

@SeaTroIITakeover I am just joking. lol It would be cool for them to go on tour together though.

[EllenKaulitz10]

@Jbottoplayer they are nothing like paramore cause they suck and flyleaf well shes like a singing god lol

[twigawesomeness]

@Jbottoplayer haha that'd be amazing!! 

[SpiritFurEva]

@Jbottoplayer XD Flymore makes me laugh.

[neonrocker4life]

@Jbottoplayer: no just no.

[harlenie1]

@Jbottoplayer no they are diferent and dont ask me why search up 4r yurself, thye believe in the total opposite.

[PARAMOREFREAK110]

@Jbottoplayer yeah but it would be hard to choose who gets to sing ;)

[eeflien0909]

@Jbottoplayer I vote for Flymore :D

[sounds better]

[Sasjarox]

@Jbottoplayer OMG LOL!!!

[yanacutiex]

[jessicathejaywolf]

sorry, i was just being harsh

[1119king]

yeah, me too... I get kinda caught up in the moment sometimes... sorry ^^''

[KacieKluts]

Lets hope the man is as good looking as she is. ;D

[1119king]

They need to have a concert in Tulsa... even Oklahoma City would be fine, even though it's a 5 hour drive D: (I missed the one in OKC during the latest tour ;-;)

[ForeveruXTokiohotel]

SHES EFFIN MARRIED??!!

[flyleaflover1235]
