![]() ![]() Whether, or not, this was the character Townsend based his Liifehouse character is never mentioned, but it could be because Townshend was born 10 days after the Nazis surrendered and great up in bombed damaged London and notes that growing up in this period produced the narrative that runs through his music of a boy lost in the stresses and pressures of postwar life. Veritanuda from LondonAlthough it has never been said, I had always thought the song was in reference to Hitler who also had blue eyes.Whether, or not, this was the character Townsend based his Liifehouse character is never mentioned, but it could be because Townshend was born 10 days after the Nazis surrendered and grew up in bombed damaged London and notes that growing up in this period produced the narrative that runs through his music of a boy lost in the stresses and pressures of postwar life. Veritanuda from UkAlthough it has never been said, I had always thought the song was in reference to Hitler who also had blue eyes.Regardless, it is a heavy lyric and a great vibe! I have always thought it is the last thought (from a person of color) but have never heard anyone else express this view. 'When my fist clenches, crack it open' could be a wise request. Or is the lyric from a person of color saying anyone 'behind blues eyes' (white persons) can not understand the anger and frustration they must live with on a daily basis. But who is the singer angry at? Himself, perhaps. ![]() Gator Rick from Denver, CoIs this lyric ironic? It probably doesn't really matter what Pete wrote it about, a song can take on its own meaning.Ĭan it be about a white man (behind blues eyes) and his cynicism (power) or about a drug dealer or a pedophile? It seems certainly about finding empathy and understanding.Joao Pedro from Brasil Rjlimp bizkit version is better than the original.People will do the things wanted in this song if the person who is asking is worthy. Begging for the very empathy they deny anyone else. The first ones to harm others and the first ones to curl into the fetal position when they get caught. No Mercy from UsaThe song has always reminded me of the appalling amount of self pity that narcissists and child molesters covet.Behind Blue Eyes is one of many incredibly powerful and beautiful songs written by the maestro Pete Townshend. He got caught up in a sting operation and nothing was found on his computer. He has been married most of his life and raised three children. Pete is one of the most generous rock stars of all-time, raising millions for charitable organizations. Bill from MarylandSince when is Pete a child abuser?! What is wrong with some of these basement-dwelling keyboard warriors, slandering people with idiotic comments. ![]()
