- Right Before My Eyes LyricsTimber shakes these trails, they are derailed
Phony, false and frail
An empty ocean
Lost our way with no direction home
Golden needles, names we take in vain
Find it harder to remain
No nothing sacred
Still waiting on that explanation
Right before my eyes
I saw the whole world lose control
The whole world lost control
Before my eyes
I fell through the floor
I couldn't take it anymore
I can't take this anymore
It breaks my mind
Hold her dirty hands over the flames
Getting pleasure from the pain
Softly screaming
The pistol that she raised has spoken
Golden needles, names we take in vain
Find it harder to remain
Nothing sacred
Still waiting on that explanation
Right before my eyes
I saw the whole world lose control
The whole world lost control
Before my eyes
I fell through the floor
I couldn't take it anymore
I can't take this anymore
It breaks my mind
Everything I thought I knew fell to the side
Time went on and on, I couldn't see past my own eyes
Past my eyes, past my eyes, past my eyes
Right before my eyes
I saw the whole world lose control
The whole world lost control
Before my eyes
I fell through the floor
I couldn't take it anymore
I can't take this anymore
Fix my mind
Phony, false and frail
An empty ocean
Lost our way with no direction home
Golden needles, names we take in vain
Find it harder to remain
No nothing sacred
Still waiting on that explanation
Right before my eyes
I saw the whole world lose control
The whole world lost control
Before my eyes
I fell through the floor
I couldn't take it anymore
I can't take this anymore
It breaks my mind
Hold her dirty hands over the flames
Getting pleasure from the pain
Softly screaming
The pistol that she raised has spoken
Golden needles, names we take in vain
Find it harder to remain
Still waiting on that explanation
Right before my eyes
I saw the whole world lose control
The whole world lost control
Before my eyes
I fell through the floor
I couldn't take it anymore
I can't take this anymore
It breaks my mind
Everything I thought I knew fell to the side
Time went on and on, I couldn't see past my own eyes
Past my eyes, past my eyes, past my eyes
Right before my eyes
I saw the whole world lose control
The whole world lost control
Before my eyes
I fell through the floor
I couldn't take it anymore
I can't take this anymore
Fix my mind

When we explore how the lyrics were meant to make us feel, Cage the Elephant's 'Right Before My Eyes' brilliantly conveys the confusion and disenchantment that go along with witnessing the world losing its grip on sanity. The detailed metaphors of 'golden needles,' and 'falling through the floor' serve to depict the disintegration of reality and the overpowering feeling of loss and despair. The lyrics of Right before my eyes predominantly depict the emotions of angst, despair, reflection, anger, and isolation.
