[A]
[E]
It's a number written by Peter Townsend called Behind Blue Eyes.
[Em] No one knows what [G] it's like [D] to be the bad [D] man, to [G] be the sad man.
[A]
Behind blue eyes, [Em]
no one knows what [G] it's like to [D] be hated, to [G] be faded.
To telling [A]
lonely lies, [C] but my [D] dreams they aren't as [G] empty as [C] my conscience [D] seems [E] to be.
I [B] have I [Bm] only [G]
lonely, my love [D] is vengeance that's [A] never free.
[E]
No [Em] one knows what [G] it's like to feel [D] these feelings like [C] I do [A] and I beg you.
[Em]
No one bites [G] back as hard [D] on their anger, none of [G] my pain and woe [A] can show through.
[Em] But [C] my [D] dreams they aren't [G] as empty as my conscience [D]
seems [E] to be.
I [B] have [Bm] I only
[C] lonely, [E]
[C] my love is [D] vengeance that's [A] never free.
My

[E] [Bm] [A]
[E] [A]
[E] [B] [A]
[E] [B] fist [A] clenches like [E] a loafer, before [Bm] I can [G] get in [D] his mind.
When [Bm] I [A] smile, tell [D] me to have you before [Bm] I [A] laugh.
[E] [B] [A]
[E] If [Bm] I swallow [A]
[E] every evil, [B] she'll finger [G]
down [D] my throat.
If I shoot [A] you, [D] you'll skip me blank, you'll be gone [A] like you [E] were before.

Hey Rock fans, what's up?
Sorry my voice is like this because I have a cold, but let's see if [G] we can understand the lyrics of this classic.
[E]
This song would originally be from a project idealized by Pete Townshend, [A] but that was canceled.
[F#] This project would be called Lifehouse and would be a rock opera [Em]
later [G] transformed into a movie, just [D] like Quadrophenia was.
The story of Lifehouse would have a villain called Jumbo, and Behind Blue Eyes [A] would be the theme song of this villain.
In other words, the [C] lyrics of the song are a lament [D] from the point of view of this fictional character,
saying how he [G] feels misunderstood by everyone seeing him as a [D] bad man,
but there is [E] a little kindness in him too.
However, according to [Bm]
Pete Townshend himself, the part of the lyrics when the [G] song gets agitated is a prayer he wrote for [D] himself.
Pete was, or still is, I don't know, [A] a very religious guy.
He didn't behave like a common rock star, he fought to [F#] resist the temptations of drinking, [Em]
drugs, sex,
and everything that usually accompanies the career [D] of a music star.
After a certain [C] presentation, Pete was tempted [A] by a groupie, so he locked himself in his hotel room and began to write this prayer,
[Em]
practically asking [G] his god, or guide, to [D] help him resist the [D] temptations.
Then he decided to add [G] this prayer to the lyrics of Behind Blue Eyes.
[G#] The fact that he [F#] added something so personal to the lyrics of the song makes [C] me think that even in the part of the lyrics [D] intended for Jumbo,
there [G] would be a little bit of Pete Townshend too.
Everyone who finds himself in a [C] position of power, of [D] fame,
is forced to make [E] a decision that can end up hurting some people,
and [Bm] they will see you as a bad person.
Maybe Behind Blue Eyes [A] shows how Pete felt about his haters.
[D] What do you think?
Leave your opinion in the comments, [A] like and share if you liked the video,
and until the next translation guys.
Bye!
