Revision as of 08:04, 23 July 2017
Template:Infobox song "What's In The Eye?" is the first track on the album Wake Me and second track on the album ...No Sun Today.
Background
"What's In The Eye?" is one of Grey Daze's earliest songs. The guitar parts were written by the band's first guitarrist, Steve Mitchell, before they even had a vocalist.
About his time on the band, Steve said: "I wrote the guitar part for "What's in the Eye" and a few other songs at the time, and some experimental rock opera stuff with Chester and Jonathan."
According to Sean Dowdell, the parts Steve contributed to the song were eventually changed.
In a 2003 chat with LPAssociation, Sean also spoke a little about the song: "What's in the eye was writte lyrically by myself except for the chorusus. Chester wrote the chorus."
The song was recorded in 1994 by Chester Bennington, Jason Barnes, Jonathan Krause and Sean Dowdell with production by David Knauer for Wake Me and between 1996 and 1997 by Chester Bennington, Bobby Benish, Mace Beyers and Sean Dowdell with production by Michael Jones for ...No Sun Today.

Lyrics
What's in the eye?
Can you tell me?
Watching the time pass me by
There's so much locked up inside
Don't go too fast, my friend
Or you'll lose control
Don't go too fast, my friend
Or you'll lose control
What's in the eye?
That I cannot catch?
Is it me, I want to know
Why it's so hard to let go
Don't go too fast, my friend
Or you'll lose control
Don't go too fast, my friend
Or you'll lose control
Ohh...
Don't go too fast, my friend
Or you'll lose control
Don't go too fast, my friend
Or you'll lose control, oh, woah, oh
Don't go / Don't you go / Don't you go
No, no / Don't go / Don't you go / Don't you go
No, no / No / No, woah, oh
Ohh...
What's in the eye?
Hey, hey, yeah, hey, yeah
Hey, hey, hey, hey, yeah
Hey, hey, hey, hey, yeah, hey, yeah
Yeah, hey, yeah
Hey, hey, hey, hey
WHY?
