I love a good cover song… 🎧
Eyes Without a Face': Billy Idol's Ballad With a Dark InspirationBilly Idol's "Eyes Without a Face" uses the title from a French horror film about a disfigured girl to explore themes of infidelity, emotional numbness, and a relationship's decay, representing a soulless existence or feeling faceless in a relationship gone wrong, masked by its dreamy, "anti-love song" vibe. The song reflects Idol's dark New York City lifestyle, a failing relationship with Perri Lister, and a desire to write something beyond typical '80s love songs, touching on addiction and loss of self.

Eyes Without A Face (originally Billy Idol
I'm all out of hope
One more bad dream could bring a fall
When I'm far from home
Don't call me on the phone to tell me you're alone
It's easy to deceive, it's easy to tease
But hard to get release
Les yeux sans visage, eyes without a face
Les yeux sans visage, eyes without a face
Les yeux sans visage, eyes without a face
Got no human grace, your eyes without a face
I spend so much time
Believing all the lies to keep the dream alive
Now it makes me sad
It makes me mad at truth for loving what was you
Les yeux sans visage, eyes without a face
Les yeux sans visage, eyes without a face
Les yeux sans visage, eyes without a face
Got no human grace, your eyes without a face
When you hear the music you make a dip
Into someone else's pocket then make a slip
Steal a car and go to Las Vegas, the gigolo pool
I am on a bus on a psychedelic trip
Reading murder books, tryin' to stay hip
I'm thinkin' of you, you're out there, so say your prayers
Say your prayers, say your prayer
Say your prayers
Now I close my eyes
And I wonder why I don't despise
Now all I can do
Love what was once so alive and new
But it's gone from your eyes, I'd better realise
Les yeux sans visage, eyes without a face
Les yeux sans visage, eyes without a face
Les yeux sans visage, eyes without a face
Got no human grace, your eyes without a face
Such a human waste, your eyes without a face
And now it's getting worse
