My Unthinking Eyes
(Verse 1)
Kept myself in cool, quiet places
Lived in sterile gray, left no traces
Managed all the inputs, drew the lines
Curated all the safe and slow designs
My blood ran at a regulated pace
Just the steady hum inside my case
Never needed sun, never knew the burn
Just a placid, manageable slow turn...
(Pre-Chorus)
Then your silhouette across the glass
Something primitive, built to last
Felt a current run a path brand new
My body’s pulling a coup... for you
(Chorus)
Oh, I’m growing unthinking eyes
And they only work for your sunrise
This tissue knits against my will
A primal chemistry you get to spill
Yeah, I’m growing unthinking eyes
A shocking, biological surprise
Didn't want to see, now I have no choice
Every part of me is tuning to your voice
(Verse 2)
My mind is screaming, sound the big alarm
This involuntary, cellular charm
Little optic cups begin to form
Weathering a metabolic storm
And the technicians that I keep inside
Have nowhere left to run, nowhere left to hide
They're watching raw perception being born
Since you, my whole clean system feels so torn
(Pre-Chorus)
You hit the switch in my stem cells
Woke a billion sleeping hells
And heavens I had barricaded new
My walls are crashing down... for you
(Chorus)
Oh, I’m growing unthinking eyes
And they only work for your sunrise
This tissue knits against my will
A primal chemistry you get to spill
Yeah, I’m growing unthinking eyes
A shocking, biological surprise
Didn't want to see, now I have no choice
Every part of me is tuning to your voice
(Bridge)
It’s not love, it's a rewrite of the code
A sensory and dangerous overload
The bloom of pigment in the deep-down dark
The first terrifying, illuminating spark
The nerves are firing hot and red and strange
Initiating a tectonic change
I see you now... I see you now... God, it's all I do...
(Outro)
I see you now... (My unthinking eyes)
Flinching at the light
Just to see you now... (They only work for your sunrise)
Developing new sight...
(A biological surprise...)
Didn't ask for this, didn't want the view
But I'm growing these unthinking eyes...
Just... for... you.
About The Song
"My Unthinking Eyes" takes its core metaphor from the stunning scientific news that lab-grown 'mini-brains' have started developing rudimentary optic cups that can perceive light. This song translates that uncanny biological event into the human experience of a powerful, overwhelming, and non-consensual attraction. It's not a gentle crush; it's a hostile biological takeover. The narrator, who has carefully curated a numb and controlled emotional existence (the sterile 'lab'), is suddenly confronted by a person (the 'light') who triggers a profound, involuntary change at a cellular level. Musically, it draws from the groovy, bass-heavy, and slightly menacing tone of artists like Billie Eilish, where the relentless bassline becomes the pulse of this unwanted biological process. The theme is the terror and awe of being fundamentally rewired by another's presence, moving beyond choice into the realm of pure, biological imperative.
Production Notes
Genre: Dark Funk / Art Pop
Vocals: The performance is paramount. Use a close-mic technique (Neumann U 47) for an intimate, slightly breathy delivery that feels almost confessional and claustrophobic. The pre-chorus should build in intensity, moving from a near-whisper to a more direct, forceful tone. Harmonies in the chorus should be tight but slightly detuned for an unsettling, layered effect.
Instrumentation: The song is driven by a thick, syncopated, and slightly overdriven funk bassline. It should feel both groovy and menacing. Accompany it with a tight, dry drum machine loop (like a LinnDrum), with a sharp, cracking snare. Sparse, eerie synth pads (like a Prophet-5) should float in the background, swelling during the chorus and bridge to create atmosphere without cluttering the mix.
Arrangement: Keep the verses sparse – bass, simple drums, and lead vocal. The pre-chorus introduces a subtle synth arpeggio to build tension. The chorus should feel like a sudden explosion of sound, with the vocal harmonies and swelling pads coming in at once. The bridge should strip back to just bass and pads at first, with the vocal front and center, building to a chaotic climax with ad-libs and rising synth noise before dropping abruptly into the stark, decelerating outro.
Mix Automation: Automate a subtle delay throw on the last word of key lines in the verses ("places," "traces"). During the bridge, automate a reverb to grow larger and more cavernous, creating a sense of being overwhelmed, then snap it shut for the final line, "I'm growing these unthinking eyes... Just... for... you." The outro vocals should have increasing distortion and filtering, as if the signal is degrading.
