Years and Years have released the music video for their latest single “Eyes shut”.
The video for the band’s sixth single from their debut album “Communion” follows frontman Olly Alexander through a seemingly post apocalyptic and crumbling society with the singer surrounded by flames and a sea of lost individuals.
Lyrics:
Throw your heart to me
Let it fall and hit the ground
Let it go
Your timing was so wrong
I just want to be found
And oh…
And I…
Yeah, I’ve got the lines
I’ve got the lines
Oh, it’s brighter this time
This type of mine
This disguise
Oh, you talk, ooh, to me
Well, nothing’s gonna hurt me with my eyes shut
I can see through them
I can see through them
I am drawing pictures I’m evading
I will not use them
I will not use them
Again
And it starts again
You come over with your friends
I don’t wanna talk to them
And all I really want
Is to start again
And oh…
And I…
Yeah, I’ve got the lines
I’ve got the lines
Oh, it’s brighter this time
This type of mine
This disguise
Oh, you talk, ooh, to me
Well, nothing’s gonna hurt me with my eyes shut
I can see through them
I can see through them
I am drawing pictures I’m evading
I will not use them
I will not use them
[2x]
‘Cause I wanna be bigger than life
Hurt you
Hurt you
And nothing’s gonna hurt me with my eyes shut
I can see through them
I can see through them
And I am drawing pictures I’m evading
I will not use them
I will not use them
No, nothing’s gonna hurt me with my eyes shut
I can see through them
I can see through them
