Mumford and Sons and their song "Lover's Eyes"
Love was kind for a time
But now just aches and it makes me blind
This mirror holds my eyes too bright
I can't see the others in my life
Were we too young
And heads too strong
To bear the weight of these lover's eyes
'Cause I feel numb beneath your tongue
Beneath the curse of these lover's eyes
But do not ask the price I pay
I must live with my quiet rage
Tame the ghosts in my head
That run wild and wish me dead
Should you shake my ash to the wind
Lord forget all of my sins
Well let me die where I lie
'Neath the curse of my lover's eyes
'Cause there's no drink
Or drug I've tried
To rid the curse of these lover's eyes
And I feel numb beneath your tongue
Your strength just makes me feel less strong
But do not ask the price I pay
I must live with my quiet rage
Tame the ghosts in my head
That run wild and wish me dead
Should you shake my ash to the wind
Lord forget all of my sins
Well let me die where I lie
'Neath the curse of my lover's eyes
I walk slow
I walk slow
Take my hand
Help me on my way
I walk slow
I walk slow
Take my hand
Help me on my way
I walk slow
I walk slow
Take my hand
Help me on my way
I walk slow
I walk slow
Take my hand
Help me on my way
He is haunted by the memory of the beautiful past. It makes him angry and at first he wants to run. Hope is gone and her eyes which once kindled his passion now stoke the fire of doubt and uncertainty. He thinks he is alone in these thoughts and feelings He does some deep self-reflection and prayer “Lord forget all of my sins. well let me die where I lie." He just wants to quit. However hope is rekindled. Calm down. Walk slow. Take my hand. Help me on my way. You have to accept and live with your quiet rage. Tame the ghost in your head that seem like they are going to kill you. The curse of your lover’s eyes is a calling to something even greater than the immature love he once felt.
