“Behind Blue Eyes” lyrics by The Who

No one knows what it’s like
To be the bad man
To be the sad man
Behind blue eyes
No one knows what it’s like
To be hated
To be fated
To telling only lies
But my dreams
They aren’t as empty
As my conscience seems to beI have hours, only lonely
My love is vengeance
That’s never free

No one knows what it’s like
To feel these feelings
Like I do
And I blame you

No one bites back as hard
On their anger
None of my pain and woe
Can show through

But my dreams
They aren’t as empty
As my conscience seems to be

I have hours, only lonely
My love is vengeance
That’s never free

When my fist clenches, crack it open
Before I use it and lose my cool
When I smile, tell me some bad news
Before I laugh and act like a fool

If I swallow anything evil
Put your finger down my throat
If I shiver, please give me a blanket
Keep me warm, let me wear your coat

No one knows what it’s like
To be the bad man
To be the sad man
Behind blue eyes

But Who am I?

Within the realm of The Communication Model, I am an individual who likes to look from the outside in onto situations. I was taught this skill when I was doing my Bachelor of Arts degree in The Netherlands. I analyze paintings as an Art Historian. And as a Mental Health and Addictions Practitioner I often observe, listen and independently reflect on human beings that I connect with. Since I was seventeen (17) years old – I have been reflecting on humanity by means of writing and creating communication drawings.

But who am I deep inside? What makes me different from other artists and Mental Health and Addictions Practitioners? I think the answer resides in my roots. My roots are strong. They are unique to me. Even though my roots include my mother and father; my two sets of grandparents; my aunts and uncles; brother and sisters; cousins; nieces and nephews – my roots go deeper and deeper then that. They go back pass the core family unit to a country history. One of tolerance and trust; values and confidence; and compromise.
