Peter gabriel in your eyes listen1/2/2023 I would question whether he wrote this for a girl, But, for marketing reasons I can see why he would say that and leave God out of the lyrics. The last verse is simple, through all the hard things that life throws at us it’s God who gets us through it. “In your eyes, I see the doorway of a thousand churches” what’s the first thing you see when you walk through the doors of most churches? A cross with Jesus on it, (yes I know he looks down, but from his vantage point he sees all the doors) he then watches all the people who come to him to find resolution but so very few do “fruitless searches”. Only the eyes of god can light the way and heat our hearts. All that matters is what’s inside, the part of us we don’t show anyone, where we no longer need the gratitude and cheers of others. But we all come back to what we know to be true “instincts” and the “grand façade so soon will burn” is when we leave our bodies behind, pride and everything we spend our life trying to acquire or earn. The driving reference is a metaphor for every time we leave god to pursue our selfish desires. This is really a simple song to figure out, first just replace the word “love” with GOD. I look to the time with you to keep me awake and alive I get so tired of working so hard for our survival So much wasted and this moment keeps slipping away The resolution of all the fruitless searches Days pass and this emptiness fills my heart
