Too good!!! I just had to post this one as well…
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.

GVLLOW - Eyes Without A Face (feat. Mothica) (originally Billy Idol)
[Verse 1]
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
[Chorus]
(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 facе
[Verse 2]
I spent so much time
Beliеving all the lies
To keep the dream alive
Now it makes me sad
It makes me mad at truth
For loving what was you
[Chorus]
(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
[Verse 3]
When you hear the music, you make a dip
Into someone else's pocket then make a slip
Steal a car, go to Las Vegas
Ooh, gigolo pool
Hanging out by the state line
Turning holy water into wine
Drinkin' it down, oh
I'm on a bus, on a psychedelic trip
Reading murder books, tryin' to stay hip
I'm thinkin' of you, you're out there so
[Bridge]
Say your prayers
Say your prayers
Say your prayers
[Verse 4]
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 realize
[Outro Chorus]
(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
You're eyes without a face
And now it's getting worse
