Eagles - Lying Eyes -HD Fix
This is definitely one of my favorite Eagles songs. The narrator is obviously a country dweller who tells the tale of how riches, cannot fill every void in one's life; especially this city girl who woefully comes to this realization. The fast life living in the big city produces an ocean of competition amongst the young girls especially in high school. Most of them have big dreams of getting married to a rich man so that they can live a life of leisure and jet set around the world thinking this will satisfy them. They learn what it is that a man wants, or most men anyway. A cute smile to an old man with money, a bat or wink of the eye and they have them snared. Well in this story a young girl employs her charms upon an old man who is swept off his feet. He marries her and dress her all up in lace and she goes in style with him on his arm. And while this may be exciting for a time, a big house, social parties, big cars and money she still has to grow up and become mature. Those raging hormones that drove her to learn what it is a man likes forever haunts her in her passionless relationship. There is no sexual satisfaction in her marriage and soon her lust drives her so insane that she is willing to risk everything that she has. Her feminine desires pushes her into and affair with a boy that she has met; one that makes her feel the way she felt when she was in school. She can't let go of her life because the boy is poor and can not offer her anything; or money which is important to her. In order to meet her love, she lies to her husband and tells him that she is going out to see a friend who is feeling poorly, or depressed. But a man does not become rich being a fool. He knows what she is doing - either by his social influences, or he accepts the fact that he wants to keep his young love; and he does love her. He knows that she is going back to the city to fulfill her sexual needs. Her eyes, when she leaves as well as her smile tells it all. As she drives to the city, she imagines what it will be like when they get together with great anticipation! She arrives they fall into each others arms and satisfy their lust's and passions. But times is fleeting and she has to go. She gets into her car and the young man leans into her window and they kiss - she swears that one day they will not have to part. No doubt indicating that this man will soon be dead and they will be able not only to spend time but his money too, together. She pulls off and leaves him with a smile and that hope. Laying in bed next to this man whom she cannot stand touching her, with his cold and passionless touch. She cannot sleep as she lay in bed. She gets out of bed and has to pour herself a drink - a strong drink to calm her anxiety to fall asleep. Standing in the window she stares out at the stars in the sky. What happened to her? Did she just get tired of trying to make a life, did she just quit and give up her life to a man whose hands are as cold as ice? Thinking to herself further, she laughs at herself thinking that things did not go the way she planned. Carefully she pursued this old guy thinking, and hoping that living the rich life would take the place of what she had become and was use to being. She was promiscuous, she loved sex with the boys that she use to play around with and she thinks about one in particular from school.Money did not change her at all as she thought, she is still the same old lust filled, party girl that she use to be. Feeling sorry for herself, not knowing when this old guy is going to die, and knowing that it could be along time, she is doomed. But She does not want to divorce the money either, but her hunger for the love that she craves and the prison that she has placed herself in is impossible - she pulls down the shade and hangs her head and cries.
Eagles - Lying Eyes -HD
A girl who feels tired and unappreciated in her marriage. Her husband has thoughts something is going on due to what she wears,how she looks etc when she goes out after putting the children to bed. Her husband is left feeling that she is having an affair and can see the change in her eyes and her behaviour towards him.He is home thinking her eyes are lying to me and he wants to tell her she cant hide it, her smile towards him isnt for him it's for her extra life she has found herself. He thinks that she should realise that he knows that she is having an affair....left thinking ...did she confess...did he confront her.......You cant hide lying eyes....
The girl with the 'lying eyes' wouldn't feel guilty about her evil behavior unless she had a conscience.Only someone who feels no shame in cheating can enjoy such a life. Some people couldn't live like that, but others delight in it.To me, the moral of the song is - Stay clear of people who delight in evil unless you are one of them yourself.
The song has new meaning to me as never before. I agree with the post about female sociopaths. Seeking sugar daddies and victims, superficial charm, pathological lying, promiscuity, shallow relationships, incapable of real love, narcisstic. And along with this mental disorder, a propensity for alcohol and/or drug addiction. Beware of the female sociopath. Broken hearts and empty bank accounts. I know. Brilliant song.
A young woman marries a rich older man thinking it would make her happy, but she is not happy, she is lonely in a big old house, but she is safe. She doesn't like having sex with him, it breaks her heart his hands feel cold and she feels cold towards him. To make herself feel better she has a boyfriend on the side who she goes to on the other side of town, but her husband knows where she is going even though she tries to hide it. She is either alone in the big house or she is going to have sex with him again so she pours herself a strong one and hangs her head to cry. Now she wonders how things could gotten so bad. She thinks about her one true love in school. Maybe they were together for awhile, but she got tired of the struggle and left him for an easier life. She set up this life she has now, but realizes now that she is no better, no happier than before and perhaps her one true love moved on to someone else so its too late to go back to him so she is trapped in this loveless marriage and feels like a fool. The end line gives this song away that the singer is talking about his wife. "Honey, you can't hide your lying eyes."
The ladies the eagles saw were probably sociopaths seeking security and rich lifestyle. Cheating occurs due to boredom and empty life. The parts of song about "feelings" would not relate to sociopaths but all other lyrics seem to (lying eyes, smile a thin disguise....two powerful sociopath characteristics).Just a thought. Powerful indeed.
They were talking about beautiful women who were cheating on their husbands. They saw a beautiful young woman with a fat and much older wealthy man, and Frey said: "She can't even hide those lyin' eyes." Johnny's versionhas to be one of the best covers on this song by anyone.
You can't hide your lyin eyesAnd your smile is a thin disguiseI thought by now you'd realizeThere ain't no way to hide your lyin' eyesThere ain't no way to hide your lyin' eyesHoney, you can't hide your lyin' eyes
The story is interesting because of the little details: it appears that she loves her boyfriend and promises to leave her husband, it also appears that the husband is aware of the affair and perhaps turns his head to it due to indifference or due to powerlessness. Regardless, you can see the lie in her eyes. She does not come across as a sympathetic character.
City girls just seem to find out earlyHow to open doors with just a smileA rich old manAnd she won't have to worryShe'll dress up all in lace and go in styleLate at night a big old house gets lonelyI guess ev'ry form of refuge has its priceAnd it breaks her heart to think her love isOnly given to a man with hands as cold as iceSo she tells him she must go out for the eveningTo comfort an old friend who's feelin' downBut he knows where she's goin' as she's leavin'She is headed for the cheatin' side of townYou can't hide your lyin' eyesAnd your smile is a thin disguiseI thought by now you'd realizeThere ain't no way to hide your lyin eyesOn the other side of town a boy is waitingwith fiery eyes and dreams no one could stealShe drives on through the nice anticipating'Cause he makes her feel the way she used to feelShe rushes to his arms,They fall togetherShe whispers that it's only for awhileShe swears that soon she'll be comin' back foreverShe pulls away and leaves him with a smileYou can't hid your lyin' eyesAnd your smile is a thin disguiseI thought by now you'd realizeThere ain't now way to hide you lyin' eyesShe gets up and pours herself a strong oneAnd stares out at the stars up in the skyAnother night, it's gonna be a long oneShe draws the shade and hangs her head to cryShe wonders how it ever got this crazyShe thinks about a boy she knew in schoolDid she get tired or did she just get lazy?She's so far gone she feels just like a foolMy, oh my, you sure know how to arrange thingsYou set it up so well, so carefullyAin't it funny how your new life didn't change thingsYou're still the same old girl you used to beYou can't hide your lyin eyesAnd your smile is a thin disguiseI thought by now you'd realizeThere ain't no way to hide your lyin' eyesThere ain't no way to hide your lyin' eyesHoney, you can't hide your lyin' eyes 041b061a72
