My Eyes

Dr. Horrible's Sing-Along Blog

Transposer:

(BILLY:) Any dolt with half a brain Can see that human kind has gone insane To the point where I don't know If I'll upset the status quo If I throw poison in the water main Listen close to ev'rybody's heart And hear that breaking sound Hopes and dreams are shattering apart And crashing to the ground I cannot believe my eyes How the world's filled with filth and lies But it's plain to see Evil inside of me is on the rise. (PENNY:) Look around We're living with the lost and found Just when you feel you've almost drowned You find yourself on solid ground And you believe there's good in ev'rybody's heart Keep it safe and sound With hope you can do your part To turn a life around I cannot believe my eyes Is the world finally growing wise? 'Cause it seems to me Some kind of harmony is on the rise. (PENNY, BILLY:) Take        it    slow Anyone with half a brain He looks at  me    and  seems        to      know Could spend their whole life howling in pain The things that I'm afraid                    to    show    And    suddenly Cause the dark is everywhere And Penny doesn't seem to care I  feel                  this  glow That soon the dark in me is all that will remain And I believe there's good    in ev'rybody's heart Lis- ten close to ev'rybody's heart Keep it  safe and sound And hear that breaking sound       With hope      you can do your part Hopes and dreams are shattering apart To  turn  a life  around. And crashing to the ground. I cannot believe my eyes I cannot believe my eyes How the world's fin-  ally grow- ing wise How the world's filled with filth and lies       And it's plain to see But it's plain to see Rapture in- side of me Evil inside of me Is on the rise Is on the rise

La chanson aborde le désespoir face à un monde en proie à la folie et à la corruption. Le personnage principal exprime sa désillusion, voyant les rêves et les espoirs se briser, tout en luttant contre ses propres démons intérieurs. Cependant, il y a une lueur d'espoir lorsque l'autre protagoniste évoque la bonté qui existe dans le cœur de chacun et la possibilité de changement. Le contexte est celui d’un conflit intérieur où le bien et le mal s’opposent, illustrant à la fois la lutte personnelle du héros et une réflexion collective sur la société. Le dialogue entre les deux personnages souligne cette tension, mêlant pessimisme et optimisme quant à l’avenir de l’humanité.
