Killers Eyes

The Kinks

Transposer:

I see so little hope in you With so much despair As I look in your eyes I wonder what thoughts linger there Life means nothing to you At least that’s what they say But it doesn’t mean that you have the right to take life away How were we to know What was going on inside your mind You never let it show What was going on behind .............. Those killer’s eyes Killer’s eyes You’ve seen your picture in the paper You’re little sister’s pinned it on the wall She thinks you’re in some kind of movie Imagine her surprise when she saw you on the news Reporters came around and asked for interviews So little compassion so icy cool They say you were a poor boy you know that life can be cruel Hate builds up from childhood your world was a slum But you haven’t got the right to blow it to kingdom come How could we know What it was like inside a killer’s mind It never really showed You kept the secret deep inside .............. Those killer’s eyes Killer’s eyes You say the world is full of bullshit So you kill just as you see fit They say that you’re a fanatic with a mission We all go through Hell in some kind of way Can you tell me what it’s like to be there every day? (actual song has a key change here) When you were young you had a vision Why’d you go and do a thing like that? And now we see you on the television Imagine our surprise when we saw you on the news And reporters came around and asked for interviews I see so little hope in you So much despair As I look in your eyes I wonder what thoughts linger there Life means nothing to you At least that’s what they say But it doesn’t mean that you have the right to take life away When you were just a child You’d hide away when other children cried But how were we to know These tears that flowed were from a killer’s eyes I see so little hope in you So much despair As I look in your eyes I wonder What thoughts linger there Life means nothing to you At least that’s what they say But it doesn’t mean that you have the right to take life away ...........Those killer’s eyes......... See the whites of their eyes................ ...........Those killer’s eyes......... See the whites of their eyes........

Cette chanson aborde le thème de la souffrance humaine et des conséquences tragiques que peut engendrer une vie marquée par le désespoir. Elle s'interroge sur le vide intérieur d'un individu, sur ses pensées sombres et sur le manque de compassion que la société lui témoigne. Les paroles évoquent aussi la désillusion et la perception erronée que l’on peut avoir des apparences. Cette exploration se penche sur la douleur de l’enfance et sur les circonstances qui peuvent mener quelqu'un à commettre des actes atroces, tout en soulignant qu'aucune souffrance ne justifie de prendre la vie d'autrui. Le contexte de cette chanson peut être ancré dans une critique sociale, où l'on met en lumière les effets des environnements difficiles sur les individus. Cela nous pousse à réfléchir à notre compréhension et à notre jugement face aux drames humains, souvent invisibles, qui se cachent derrière des actes de violence.
