Lyrics from the song "Behind Blue Eyes" by The Who.
This song is about a man who feels misunderstood and mistreated by others.
He sings about how no one knows what it's like to be in his shoes, to be the "bad man" or the "sad man" with "blue eyes". He talks about feeling hated and fated to telling lies.
He blames someone else for his pain and feels that his love is a form of vengeance that is never free.
The lyrics suggest that he has been mistreated and defeated in some way, but he still struggles to express his feelings and be understood by others.
The song is a powerful expression of loneliness, anger, and the difficulty of communication.
No one knows what it's like, To be the bad man, To be the sad man, Behind blue eyes
And 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 its 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
In this part of the lyrics, the singer is expressing a sense of loneliness and isolation. He is saying that no one can understand the depth of his emotions and the pain he is going through, and he blames someone for causing him to feel this way. The line "No one bites back as hard on their anger" suggests that he is harboring a lot of anger and frustration, but he is keeping it inside and not expressing it openly. The line "None of my pain and woe can show through" means that despite his suffering, he is putting on a facade or hiding his true emotions from others. Overall, the lyrics convey a sense of intense emotional turmoil and a feeling of being misunderstood and alone.
No one knows what its like, To be mistreated, to be defeated, Behind blue eyes
An no one know how to say, That they're sorry and don't worry, I'm not telling lies
