Letra de
Behind Blue Eyes

La canción Behind Blue Eyes fue escrita por Pete Townshend, guitarrista de la banda británica The Who.

La letra es una introspección sobre los sentimientos de Townshend, narrando la perspectiva de un villano y detallando sus sentimientos, luchas y redención. La música se lanzó en 1971 en el álbum Whos Next y rápidamente se convirtió en uno ... de los tracks más emblemáticos de la banda. Ver más [+]

No one knows what it's like, to be the bad man,
To be the sad man, behind blue eyes
No one knows what it's like to be hated,
To be fated, to telling only lies

But my dreams, they aren't as empty,
As my conscience seems to be
I have hours, only lonely
My love is vengeance that's never free
No one knows what it's like to feel these feelings
Like I do, and I blame you
No one bites back as hard on their anger
None of my pain and woe, can show through

But my dreams, they aren't as empty,
As my conscience seems to be
I have hours, only lonely
My love is vengeance that's never free

No one knows what its like
To be mistreated, to be defeated
Behind blue eyes
No one knows how to say
That they're sorry and don't worry
I'm not telling lies

But my dreams, they aren't as empty,
As my conscience seems to be
I have hours, only lonely
My love is vengeance that's never free

No one knows what it's like, to be the bad man,
To be the sad man, behind blue eyes
