This composition delves into the artist's personal struggle with mental health, particularly anxiety, and his journey towards recovery. The repetitive phrase "all eyes on me" encapsulates the pressure and scrutiny he feels as a public figure, which exacerbates his anxiety. The song also reflects Burnham's disillusionment with societal apathy towards global issues like climate change. His return to performing is met with an unexpected global crisis (the COVID-19 pandemic), adding a layer of irony and further complicating his mental health journey. Overall, this piece serves as an intimate exploration of personal growth amidst external chaos and societal expectations. #MentalHealth #PublicScrutiny #ClimateChange #GlobalCrisis
All Eyes On Me
Lyrics
Get your fucking hands up
Get on out of your seats
All eyes on me, all eyes on me
Get your fucking hands up
Get on out of your seats
All eyes on me, all eyes on me
Are you feeling nervous? Are you having fun?
It's almost over, it's just begun
Don't overthink this, look in my eye
Don't be scared, don't be shy
Come on in, the water's fine
We're going to go where everybody knows
Everybody knows, everybody, ooh
We're going to go where everybody knows
Everybody knows
Get your fucking hands up
Get on out of your seat
All eyes on me, all eyes on me
Ay, come on, get your fucking hands up
Get on out of your seat
All eyes on me, all eyes on me, yeah
Heads down, pray for me
Heads down, now, pray for me
Get your fucking hands up
Get on out of your seat
All eyes on me, all eyes on me
You wanna hear a funny story?
So, uh, five years ago, I quit performing live comedy
Because I was beginning to have, uh, severe panic attacks while on stage
Which is not a good place to have them
So I, I quit and I didn't perform for five years
And I spent that time trying to improve myself mentally
And you know what? I did! I got better!
I got so much better, in fact, that in January of 2020
I thought, "You know what? I should start performing again
I've been hiding from the world, and I need to re-enter
And then, the funniest thing happened
Are you feeling nervous? Are you having fun?
It's almost over, it's just begun
Don't overthink this, look in my eye
Don't be scared, don't be shy
Come on in, the water's fine
You say the ocean's rising like I give a shit
You say the whole world's ending, honey, it already did
You're not gonna slow it, heaven knows you tried
Got it? Good, now get inside
We're going to go where everybody knows
Everybody knows, everybody knows
We're going to go where everybody knows
Everybody knows
C'mon, get your fucking hands up
Get on out of your seat
All eyes on me, all eyes on me
Come on get your fucking hands up
Get on out of your seats
All eyes on me, all eyes on me, yeah
Hands down, pray for me
Heads down now, pray for me
I said, get your fucking hands up
Get up, get up
I'm talking to you, get the fuck up
Get your fucking hands up
Get on out of your seat
All eyes on me, all eyes on me
Hey, c'mon, get your fucking hands up
Get on out of your seat
All eyes on me, all eyes on me, yeah
Come on, heads down, pray for me
Heads down now, pray for me
I said, get your fucking hands up
Get, haha
All eyes on me, all eyes on me
