Where have you been?


What does it mean when a man's eyes turn black
When you're making love?
What does it mean when a man's eyes turn black?
Tell me 'cause I never seen something quite scared me like that

I saw darkness where I should have seen light
And it wasn't the beautiful darkness of night
But a thing of a kind that would cause a fright
I saw darkness where I should have seen light

Where have you been?
Where have you been?
Eyes more frightening I've never seen
What do they want with me?
What do they want with me?
Eyes more frightening I've never seen

Same as it means when a prince's eyes turn white
Sitting by his door in the midnight
Tin-foil on his windows 'cause he can't take light
And it wasn't the beautiful wisdom of light
But a white of a kind that would give you a fright
Colour all gone, no iris in sight
I saw darkness where I should have seen light

Where have you been?
Where have you been?
Eyes more frightening I've never seen
What do they want with me?
What do they want with me?
Eyes more frightening I've never seen

Same when the friend of the prince spikes your smoke
Hoping to make you a mess and a joke
But you never were his, you never were his
No matter what he did

Where have you been?
Where have you been?
Eyes more frightening I've never seen
What do they want with me?
What do they want with me?
Eyes more frightening I've never seen

Where have you been?
Where have you been?
Eyes more frightening I've never seen
What do they want with me?
What do they want with me?

Thank you because you correct this lyrics

Biografia

Sinéad Marie Bernadette O'Connor (Dublino, 8 dicembre 1966 – Londra, 26 luglio 2023) è stata una cantautrice irlandese di fama internazionale. Conosciuta per la sua voce potente e il suo stile musicale che mescolava elementi di pop, rock, folk e musica tradizionale irlandese, O'Connor ha raggiunto l'apice della popolarità negli anni '90 con album come "The Lion and the Cobra" (1987) e "I Do Not Want What I Haven't Got" (1990). Quest'ultimo, contenente il singolo simbolo "Nothing Compares 2 U", ha venduto oltre 10 milioni di copie in tutto il mondo. La sua carriera è stata segnata da momenti controversi, come la distruzione del ritratto del Papa durante un'esibizione televisiva nel 1992, che le costò l'ostilità di alcuni e la stima di altri. Nonostante le controversie, O'Connor ha continuato a pubblicare musica fino alla fine della sua vita, esplorando nuovi generi musicali e affrontando temi sociali e politici nelle sue canzoni. Nel 2017 ha cambiato il suo nome legale in Magda Davitt e nel 2018 si è convertita all'Islam, assumendo il nome di Shuhada' Sadaqat.
