Through Your Eyes

Jordan Critz's song 'Through Your Eyes' delves into the profound themes of love, identity, and the intertwining of two souls. The lyrics explore the idea of self-perception and how it is deeply influenced by the gaze and presence of a loved one. The opening lines, 'Where can I go when you don't hide? Who am I if not seen through your eyes?' suggest a sense of lost identity and direction when the beloved is not present. This highlights the dependency on the other person for a sense of self and purpose.

The imagery in the song is vivid and evocative, with lines like 'Swallow me up in the dead of night, Feel you all in my skin in the morning light.' These lines convey a deep physical and emotional connection, where the presence of the loved one is felt intensely, both in the quiet of the night and the new beginnings of the morning. The repetition of 'Oh, when I love' emphasizes the all-consuming nature of this love, suggesting that it permeates every aspect of the narrator's being.

The chorus, 'You're falling from the sky, You're rolling in my mind, Whispering my breath, How can I be without you?' further underscores the omnipresence of the loved one in the narrator's life. The beloved is not just a person but a pervasive force that influences thoughts, emotions, and even the very act of breathing. The song closes with a return to the initial questions, reinforcing the idea that the narrator's identity and sense of self are inextricably linked to the beloved's perception and presence. This cyclical structure mirrors the ongoing struggle to define oneself through the eyes of another, capturing the essence of a love that is both beautiful and consuming.
