"Look Me In The Eye" by Edie Yvonne reflects on the darker realities of the world in a plea for mutual understanding and connection. With a masterful use of rhetorical questioning, the lyrics ask, "why does no one seem to care that the flowers are blooming?" This bold question emphasizes the lack of society's care for the positives in life. The speaker of the song expresses the need to feel seen, expressing the way they reach out for recognition with the use of its title in the chorus. Encapsulating the sensation that the world is broken and no one seems to care, this bold track offers listeners a hauntingly realistic worldview.
This song hits the ear like a transcendent exploration of your dark inner voice. Acoustic fingerpicking in a minor key and haunting humming draws listeners into the immersive melancholy of the track. Breathy vocals paint the tune with a gloom that beautifully expresses the metaphysical questioning of the lyrics. Spanning Edie's vocal range, the song moves through vocal fry-tinged lows through the verse and airy highs in the chorus. Percussion and electric guitar strings ring out as palm-muted acoustic chords bring a pop-rock energy like a symphony of expression in the chorus. The percussion continues through the rest of the song alongside haunting vocal layers. Picking up the pace in the bridge, the track takes on a head-spinning intensity that reflects the feeling of losing time presented in the lyrics. The song ends at the highest point of her vocal range as humming comes back to escort listeners into the realm of reflection the song's meaning conveys.
