We Give Khamari's “Doctor, My Eyes” Two Words, Unique and Expressive.

By Craig Claro

 Unique. Expressive. This self observational song puts us in the mind of the youthful experience. Of being lost in the moment, lost in our own emotion that I remember so much, yet I don’t feel anymore. This song brought that feeling back if only temporarily. And it’s scary. Self-criticism and self-control are battling one another until we can’t enjoy work or play.

The beautiful part was the way the song climaxed in the end by words as valuable as the world itself. This voice of love and reason at the end made me cry just a little. The value of these words is immeasurable and the way this artist harnesses the moment is beautiful.

“To get something you never had, you have to do something you never did

You have to take time to live

Tomorrow's not promised to anybody”

I loved this. The lyrics and the vocal delivery also add a layer of simple complication that the words sweep up any emotion you might accidentally let fall.

Lyrics

Ain't these supposed to be my glory days?
 Late nights, and I can't even feel my face
 Hate going out, but you said it was just a phase
 I'm not sure that'll ever change
 Will it ever change?
 Red Bull and tequila keep me up right in the night
 When I should've kept my ass inside
 My friends wouldn't let me, they know I
 Most of the time I feel too much
 So I try not to feel at all
 Staring at the ceiling, I
 Staring at the writing on the wall
 Is there some type of
 Is there some typе of pill I could take
 That would make it all go away?
 Doctor, would you give mе something?
 Would you, would you?
 Doc, I'm only 20 something
 Would you, would you?
 I'm way too young to feel this numb, yeah
 Would you, would you?
 My eyes, I think they're already going
 'Cause I don't see things too clearly
 Think I could use a little perspective from you
 I do
 'Cause my mind's always racing
 And I've been trying to slow the pace with
 Red Bull and tequila keep me up right through the day
 When I should've kept my ass inside
 But I gotta work this nine to five
 Most of the time I feel too much
 So I try not to feel at all
 Staring at the ceiling, I
 Staring at the writing on the wall
 Is there some type of
 Is there some type of pill I could take
 That would make it all go away?
 Doctor, would you give me something?
 Would you, would you?
 Doc, I'm only 20 something
 Would you, would you?
 I'm way too young to feel this numb, yeah
 Would you, would you?
 I don't know, Khamari, you're putting a lot of pressure on yourself
 But I, I don't think it's too much that you can't handle
 It's just a matter of focusing on what you gotta do
 And sometimes you know, you just have to, just relax and go with the flow
 Things always have a way of working out, man
 Just focus on what you've got to do, and you know what I always say
 To get something you never had, you have to do something you never did
 You have to take time to live
 Tomorrow's not promised to anybody
