I wrote this song focusing on a younger audience.
This song is a psychological journey through the "morning after" a romantic encounter. Deep-seated insecurity clouded by personal fears, "mind games," and a lack of self-confidence. Fear can make an imagination run wild.
Your thoughts on this song?
DARK EYES
Reflections as a foggy mirror
Are you thinkin' bout me
Azzaro men's cologne lingers blind
Same as last night's memories
Fireworks lit at midnight
Believed every word he said
He vanished before sunrise
Waking to an empty bed
Dark eyes conceal the moments
Were seducing lines whispered in vain
Did I open my eyes to reality
Or awake with regretful shame
Lonely feelings trapped inside
Was this just a desperate grab
Will my heart be healed by love
Or feel another dagger stab
Strong fingers warm baby oil
Gentle back rub roaming hands
First chapter a story of love
Or truths buried in deep sands
Dark eyes conceal the moments
Were seducing lines whispered in vain
Did I open my eyes to reality
Or awake with regretful shame
Is he a hero or a villain
I'm suspicious like a spy
Not knowing what today holds
Words of truth or just a lie
Shadows creeping through closed blinds
Rich treasures as love’s precious gold
Beginnings of something real
Or a story not to be told
Dark eyes conceal the moments
Were seducing lines whispered in vain
Scenes played my lustful fantasy
I wanted him Am I to blame
A good player in a man's game
A notch carved in his belt of pride
His actions showed he wanted me
In his warmth I wanted to hide
Dark eyes conceal the moments
Were seducing lines whispered in vain
Was this just a one night fling
Will he even remember my name
Wait...
He just called me
He wasn't bouncin' lines
It was my head playing mind games
The only Dark Eyes... Were mine
