My Father's Eyes

Axxis' song 'My Father's Eyes' is a deeply emotional tribute to the artist's father, Eduard Weiss, who passed away in November 2008. The song captures the profound sense of loss and longing that accompanies the death of a loved one. The lyrics are a poignant reflection on the final moments shared with his father, filled with a mixture of sorrow, regret, and a desperate wish to turn back time. The repeated plea, 'Father, don't go away,' underscores the artist's struggle to come to terms with the inevitable separation and the void it leaves behind.

The song delves into the universal experience of grief, highlighting the pain and emptiness felt when a parent passes away. The lines 'How could I live without your jokes, you laughing loud' and 'So many words - unspoken - not said' emphasize the irreplaceable nature of the bond between father and child. The artist's lamentation over the unfinished conversations and the unfulfilled moments serves as a reminder of the fleeting nature of life and the importance of cherishing every moment with loved ones.

Musically, Axxis combines heartfelt lyrics with a powerful melody to convey the depth of the artist's emotions. The recurring theme of 'The day you die' acts as a somber refrain, echoing the finality of death and the enduring impact it has on those left behind. The song's conclusion, 'Now you are released, rest in peace,' offers a sense of closure and acceptance, acknowledging that while the pain of loss is profound, there is also a release from suffering for the departed. 'My Father's Eyes' is a touching homage that resonates with anyone who has experienced the loss of a loved one, capturing the essence of grief, love, and the enduring connection between a father and child.
