‘Glazed Eyes’ is about a dysfunctional relationship that is held together by the drunken nights. When they are drinking everything is fine, but in reality once their ‘glazed eyes’ have gone they don’t really want to be with each other. They don’t want to fix their mess because they’ve fallen in love with the drunken easiness to their relationship. They are in a vicious cycle of convincing themselves everything is fine by hitting the drink.
What will it be tonight?
Are you wrong or are you right?
Are you in or are you out?
Will you laugh or will you shout?
Will we kiss or will we fight?
Are we wrong or are we right?
I’m on the floor, you’re drinking more,
I’m doing shots, while you're doing pot
You hold my hand,
All my glazed eyes see is you.
But we are young, isn’t this what you do?
This was working out fine,
But now it’s like a mine.
Who will tread in a hole,
And who will strike gold?
It’s morning, but I’ve fallen away from you.
Last night was fun, but now my once glazed eyes are blue.
But what will it be tonight?
Let's find something to do,
The drink will ease the blues.
My hands find yours, glazed eyes returning.
Your arms pull me in,
It’s normal again.
I’m on the floor, you're drinking more,
I’m doing shots, while you're doing pot.
You hold me tight, we don’t fight tonight.
Days come and pass,
But our nights will be a hazy blast.
We can talk tomorrow baby,
But tonight let's not fight.
I just want you,
In my glazed eyes.
We’re on the floor,
Now let's drink some more.
My glazed eyes only see you.
But we are young.
This is what we do.

This is a sad song that highlights how a relationship founded on drugs and alcohol is lost. In my own life I have discovered that my friendships and relationships flourish when they are founded on love and the pursuit of showing what love is, continually putting the other person above myself. If we chose to adopt this idea of loving on our friends, and putting their needs above our own, then imagine how much greater our friendships and relationships would be!
