About This Track

'Eyes' by Quadeca is a 2019 hip-hop/rap track from the album 'Voice Memos'. The lyrics cast a wakeful, emotionally drained speaker whose sore eyes and tear-stained face signal love that has gone off-script. There is a sense of bargaining with faith, with the line “God's way of reminding me” landing amid images of strain and a push towards smiling again. The song balances physical discomfort with exhausted devotion, and it ends on a determination to move forward rather than simply collapse.

"Eyes" is a track by Quadeca, from the album Voice Memos, released 8th March 2019. The track is 2:54 long. It's filed under Hip-Hop/Rap. Full lyrics are available below. Dork has published 4 articles about Quadeca.

Lyrics

Eyes

I woke up and my eyes were sore
I gave you every last tear that I had
I don't think I can cry no more
All of this red on my eyes looking like
I never gotten high before
This is not regular love
This shit is a mile more
I think this is God's way of reminding me
I need to smile more

I played you my song and we sobbed
This music's beyond just a job
This music's beyond getting up
On my Youtube and dissing
Some pawn for applause
I gotta responsibility that's
Bigger than bullshitting
All for the mob
I'm tryna ball while I'm here
So they don't have to bawl when I'm gone
Yeah

Life changed in a year
Changed in a week
Changed in a second

Sang when they didn't hear
They didn't speak
They didn't question

Made my music in fear
Made it and re
Framed my perspective

I hope that it's clear
Now that you're here
Came to my rescue

Losing time
Lemme let you know before
I lose my mind yeah
These days something must be on my side
If I lose at least I'll tell you that I tried yeah
That I tried

Yeah okay
They say great things take time
I think time takes great things away though
Lost all of my idols that had fallen like an angel
Who knows if they in the
Clouds with a halo? Who knows?
I look up to names for help
But how can our idols save us if
They can't even save themselves
I gotta behave myself
Gotta remember my start no
I will not betray myself
I been afraid to tell
So alone so I just braced myself
I've wanted love since the age of 12
Even before I could lace myself
That's why when I know I lose all that
I love that it's easy to hate myself
It's my birthday!
But I won't celebrate myself
'Cause time is gonna take myself
I'm on my proclubs shit, I create myself
But I'm never gonna rate myself
Picture perfect
Is it worth it
Vision blurrin
Missin verses
Life really is a burden
Seeing my face on every sign
I'm a missing person
Whatever he gets, the kid deserves it

I woke up and my eyes were sore
I gave you every last tear that I had
I don't think I can cry no more
All of this red on my eyes looking like
I never gotten high before
This is not regular love, this shit is a mile more
I think this is God's way of reminding me
I need to smile more

Losing time
Lemme let you know before
I lose my mind yeah
These days something must be on my side
If I lose at least I'll tell you that I tried yeah
That I tried

You're nothing but a grain
Of sand in my hourglass
But I can spot you from a mile away, yeah

I'm searching for you
