Song Released: 1982
Eye In The Sky Lyrics
Don't try turnin' tables instead
You've taken lots of chances before
But I ain't gonna give anymore
Don't ask me
That's how it goes
Cause part of me knows what you're thinkin'
Don't say words you're gonna...

#1 top rated interpretation:I tend to agree with the all seeing eye of Horus theory.
Look around you. We have the illuminati, Big Brother and the eye of Horus. And in my opinion, they are all one in the same. -

#2 top rated interpretation:It was the Fall of 1982, and I was deeply in love with a fellow classmate. We were inseparable for a year. Back then I believed in soul mates and he was mine. Something snapped in him around late August, our senior year of medical school. He got some crazy ideas like I was involved with some of my professors, one being his septuagenarian mentor who he believed was going to leave his wife and marry me. He became progressively delusional. Unfortunately no one believed me as he was an honor student from an Ivy League school and I was...well...a distraught young woman. Eye in the Sky was his anthem. He believed he knew things and saw things that others could not. He was the eye in the sky. He felt he was separate from the world. He thought he could read my mind. He was omnipotent and he was dealing with fools. He also decided he wasn't gonna live anymore, so he cheated us blind. He killed himself and left a devastated family and me. The cheat was people presuming his parents failed him and his love had left him. The cheat was he took himself from us. E.T. came out in 1982 also. I felt like E.T. when the space ship left Earth without him. Corny but real. Only he never came back to get me. He interpreted the song for me before he died.

#3 top rated interpretation:This is about a guy who has tried so hard and for so long to maintain his relationship with his girlfriend that he has finally come to his wits end over her.
She deceives him, she belittles him, she looks on him with squinty eyes like he is below her in some way, the sun in her eyes. All the time, she has had near complete power over him because of his love for her. He has finally been able to achieve the resolve that is needed for him to break away from her. He feels exaltation from this. Exaltation mixed with sadness, not joy, is this an oxymoron? Regardless, now he is able to see her for what she really is, he now knows who and what she really is. Because of this, he feels like he has the god like power of being the eye in the sky and with this song, he is telling her, with a bit of sadness, that it is over between them. -
This song is about a group of sadistic human beings that are so insecure about their own existence that they abuse technology to read people's minds, cause pain by remote torture methods, and do anything they can to ruin life on this planet. Some of these people come from failed relationships and cannot accept the fact they are demented losers that nobody wants to be around, so in turn they do everything they can to destroy other people's lives and bring down all of those around them. They will often work with looney corporations and media companies to ensure their messages are received. It's quite heinous.

Not about love/relationship, not about casino cheating. It’s simply about god, creator warning us. It’s not me saying it, it’s written i all Alan interviews. The Orus eyes is on the album’s cover. You geniuses of song interpretations!!!

Intreguing lyrics.
I believe that the verses are straight-forward: he's fed up with the rows his girlfriend or wife starts:
"Don't say words you're gonna regret
Don't let the fire rush to your head
I've heard the accusation before
And I ain't gonna take any more".
But...
The reference to an "accusation" put me on the scent for the meaning of the chorus.
"I am the eye in the sky
Looking at you
I can read your mind
I am the maker of rules
Dealing with fools
I can cheat you blind
And I don't need to see any more
To know that
I can read your mind, I can read your mind"
The speaker has changed. Who is it? Is it a part of the boyfriend's mind taking flight from the row and looking at her dispassionately, as from above? Yet it can't be the boyfriend. He just said:
"Cause I ain't gonna live anymore believing
Some of the lies while all of the signs are deceiving".
A man bothered about lies isn't suddenly going to tell us he can "cheat you blind".
So the "I" of the chorus is someone else. He's listening to his girlfriend and realises the words are not part of her personality. She's speaking as if she has the personality of another inside her.
The "I" is this personality speaking through her eyes, as it looks at the boyfriend.
Now it becomes easy. The cover shows not only the Egyption Eye of Horus, but the diamond tear under the eye. And the "accuser" is the origin of only one name. The first is the occult symbol for Lucifer - meaning the 'bringer of light'. Hense the light in her eye. And the second means 'devil'. The rows are just a manifestation of something deeper. She's chosen the other side. -
Pure love does not keep a track record of wrong or right.
I believe this song is about humanity and that there is an omnipresent being watching over all us ~ GOD
If you have never been loved how can you ever love in return.
God knows our thoughts, our dreams, our hopes, our desires ~ God, the 'all seeing eye', knows everything.
If you find pure love, please don't give up.
Pure love is divine. It comes back to you when you least expect it.
If I had my way, I would give up everything to be with the one I love.
Love sees circumstances from all angles.
My divine counterpart is with me, everywhere I go.
They are my heart, my blood and my soul and God has a plan for everyone.
I believe in LOVE.
Please do not read into anything because everything is open to misinterpretation.
Two divine souls are always ONE and nothing can keep them apart.
I LOVE you.
You are me.
I am you.
There is not one day that goes by, without you being on my mind.
I wish you Godspeed, my beloved. -
I can so easily relate with every word of this song. And if I had to write one song on my relationship with whom I thought was the love of my life and whom I thought loved me more than anything and anyone else, it will be this. It's about the lover coming to know about the truths later on in the relationship and those truths are worth ending the relationship. The girl is crying, but too late. She is in love but he can never believe her now because the eyes which he saw and believed could have never lied were lying. The lies which were said were not unintentional but showed all the signs of deceiving the guy. So now he knows exactly how she thinks and behaves and he knows her in and out. The relationship was not one sided because the guy is strong too when he says he can cheat her blind which means that the guy is not a schmuck or a DH. He was just being faithful. It's a sad ending. He is heartbroken because she acted dumb and now repenting is of no help.

This interpretation has been marked as poor. view anyway

This is not a song I like, let alone knew the words to. It's been 'playing' in my head for weeks now. Annoying actually. I didn't know the name of the song, the singer(s) or the lyrics, but the melody kept playing and playing in my head. Hearing it as "elevator" music over the years, I was able to remember a few of the words and googled it. Came right up and I about fell out of my chair. "Something" out there is trying to get my attention. It worked!! God? Aliens? Government? Ex Lover? I know, looney tunes right? This danm song has been like broken record in my head for WEEKS now!! Something strange goin on around here!!

This song makes direct references to the gaming industry ."The eye In The Sky" is a salute to the people who work for casinos to catch cheats. They use binoculars and other devices to "spy" on potential "bad guys". Words like "chances", "turning tables" and "I can cheat you blind" are all words used in a gambling environment. I think that the line "don't think sorry is easily said" probably refers to a cheat who has been caught and is now emotional about an impending state of wretchedness to be brought on by the guys who caught him being naughty.

The eye in the sky was Saturn of antiquity...when it was above the north pole many millennia ago...and Mars was below it.

All-seeing eye of Horus. Not sure where people get the interpretation that is about a relationship. Read the lyrics carefully, the message is clear, not hidden. Look at the cover of the album.

This really gives me a vibe of paranoid schizophrenic, or zelotypia (morbid jealousy). The person tells his partner that he won't believe her lies anymore, and he makes her believe that he really has the power to read her mind, out of fear of being cheated on or lied to, which is typical in these patients. He says don't say words you're gonna regret, it could mean he actually physically abuses her.

It's like a form of greater power that knows the truth of your actions and intentions. You can lie and try to deceive others, but this force watching you knows the truth. You've said you would change and attempt to be convincing, however, the force watching over you isn't buying it anymore.

I respect the interpretation of many. However, here is some real information about the "All-Seeing Eye" also know as the Eye of Horus. Many people have heard about the allegations of satanic rituals and followers around the music industry. Well, many proven videos of the same singers of almost all genre accepting that have sold their soul to the devil for fortune and fame have circulated the internet. But for some reason, the viewers and followers of musicians seem to don't care about this. Many songs with double meanings and also played in reverse with hidden satanic revelations have been discovered. And yet, we loved to sing them... This son and the album logo have a correlation to those allegations. But again, many can keep thinking that is about love. And about God. but in reality is about the Satan. Just look for the truth and the truth will find you. here is some socking info for those who want to look for the truth. https://youtu.be/UVt1ESfcR68

He is letting her go, because she has been disloyal and dishonest. He will not change his mind.

It is God's advice to forgive and not to take revenge. He knows if your heart is true because he watches and knows all.
