Behind Blue Eyes


"Behind Blue Eyes" is a song originally in the key of G major, performed by the American rock band Limp Bizkit. It was composed by Pete Townshend, a member of the British rock band The Who, for their 1971 album "Who's Next." Limp Bizkit's version of the song was released in 2003 as a single from their album "Results May Vary." The song showcases Fred Durst's powerful vocals and incorporates elements of alternative rock and nu-metal genres. As for trivia, "Behind Blue Eyes" was a departure from Limp Bizkit's typically aggressive style, displaying their ability to create a more introspective and emotional sound. The melody is haunting and melancholic, highlighted by soft guitar arpeggios and a climactic chorus.

Behind Blue Eyes - Limp Bizkit

si si si la sol si
No one knows what it’s like
si si si la fa#
To be the bad man
si si si la mi
To be the sad man
sol la si la
Behind blue eyes

si si si la sol si
And no one knows what it’s like
si si si la fa#
To be hated
si si si la mi
To be fated
sol sol sol la si la
To telling only lies

But my dreams
RE RE si la si
They aren’t as empty

No one bites back as hard

On their anger

None of my pain an’ woes
