Official lyric video to the song, "Dead In The Eyes" by Johnny Stumpf

This is my original song "Dead In The Eyes" . I was inspired by a mix of dramatic 80s ballads, and pop rock songs that you would probably find in a soap opera in the 2000s. I wanted to create something really theatrical and cinematic, and am really proud of how it turned out.

Closure to any phase in life is never guaranteed and this song is about the process of accepting that. (if I was to scale up the theatrics by 500%) Hope you enjoy and I am looking forward to sharing new music again soon. Happy listening.

lyrics:
My pupils dilate
Process every feeling of disarray
Surrender to disorientation
Left behind, left in desolation
Hands gripped the steering wheel
Wondered if what I'm hearing was even real
No words said to my face
Bluetooth speakers filled the space

And its ok
Cause scenery changes
Through different phases
I just wanted you to look me, look me

Dead in the eyes
And simply explain what was the reason why
You thought we had grown lifeless
A monotone "this is it"
Was all I got
So why were we dead in your eyes?

(Why were we dead in your-)
(Why were we dead in your eyes?)

I pull over to the side
Night shift trucks flashing me by
Trying to get hold of the atmosphere
Just want to get home and get out of here
People can be seasonal
You can't take it too personal
You gotta learn to let them go
I practice it like ritual

And its ok
Cause scenery changes
Through different phases
But God I wish you had looked me

Dead in the eyes
And simply explained what was the reason why
You thought we had grown lifeless
A monotone "this is it"
Was all I got
So why were we dead in your eyes?

(Why were we dead in your-)
(Why were we dead in your eyes?)
(I thought I saw signs of life)
(I thought I saw signs of life)

No closure at all
No autopsy
If only you had looked at me

Dead in the eyes
Then I don't think I would lay awake at night
Wondering what the hell happened
How did we end up like this?
I don't know how
So why were we dead in your eyes?

Dead in the eyes
Haunted time to time
But this is goodbye
