Title: Eyes without a face
Post by: En1gma on November 24, 2017, 08:35:24 AM
Someone made a comment about the song by Billy Idol being about a pwBPD. Now that I have experienced it first hand, it really jumps out at me reading the lyrics (especially the last line). Thoughts?

Eyes Without a Face
Billy Idol
LYRICS

I'm all out of hope
One more bad Break could bring a fall?
When I'm far from home
Don't call me on the phone
To tell me you're alone
It's easy to deceive
It's easy to tease
But hard to get release
Eyes without a face (les yeux sans visage)
Eyes without a face, got no human grace your eyes without a face
I spend so much time
Believing all the lies
To keep the dream alive
Now it makes me sad
It makes me mad at truth
For loving what was you
Eyes without a face (les yeux sans visage)
Eyes without a face, got no human grace your eyes without a face
When you hear the music you make a dip
Into someone else's pocket then make a slip
Steal a car and go to las vegas oh, the gigolo pool
Hanging out by the state line, turning holy water into wine
Drinkin' it down
I'm on a bus on a psychedelic trip
Reading murder books tryin' to stay hip
I'm thinkin' of you you're out there so
Say your prayers
Say your prayers
Say your prayers
Now I close my eyes
And I wonder why
I don't despise
Now all I can do
Love what was once
So alive and new
But it's gone from your eyes
I'd better realize
Eyes without a face (les yeux sans visage)
Eyes without a face, got no human grace your eyes without a face
Such a human waste your eyes without a face
And now it's getting worse

One more bad Dream could bring a fall? It’s actually “one more bad break could bring a fall” I already modified the original post to reflect.

Amazing. I used to listen to that song when I was dating my exBPD. Never thought of the meaning. The love bombing was all about her beautiful blues eyes looking into mine.
That song will never be the same. Just like the song "wicked game" by Chris Isaak.

Never seen that look of sheer terror in her eyes or that of any creature when I told her I was ending the relationship this weekend after she broke my ribs with her oat attack... .God I need a drink... .
