“Look Into My Eyes” by Outlandish; Lyrics and video
Dear readers
I have always been the fan of classic tale Little Red Riding Hood, as my mom usually used to tell me this story when I couldn’t sleep in the Winter nights during the power outage which is a common thing here in Pakistan. I have always been thinking of its best interpretation. You people may know (my friends/foes) or may not know (Just surfed on in) ,I was always a fan of home made little videos; giving some funny, sarcastic, happy, angry, scary or inspirational idea. And yeah I usually made a few with my own ideas and creativity. They were not bad as I believe. So purpose of all this saying is; this video seems to be not a big budget and like a home made video but gives a great message. Its their (Outlandish Band) interpretation of the “Little Red Riding Hood” and I love it. It left tears in my eyes. I still remember my Nursery class in “Fiction and tales” where I watched a video of this tale and this is the second time this story touched my heart in a different way through this video interpretation. Bravo Outlandish for making such a touching video.
According to Wikipedia
“Little Red Riding Hood is a famous fairytale about a young girl’s encounter with a wolf. The story has changed much in its history, and been subject to numerous modern adaptations and readings.”
Yes the Wolf(s) are Israelis who are killing innocent Palestinians!
Ok Lets proceed to the Lyrics of the song. The lyrics and video is on the full blog post!

Look Into My Eyes Lyrics
Look into my eyes
Tell me what you see
You don’t see a damn thing
’cause you can’t relate to me
You’re blinded by our differences
My life makes no sense to you
I’m the persecuted one
You’re the red, white and blue
Each day you wake in tranquility
No fears to cross your eyes
Each day I wake in gratitude
Thanking God He let me rise
You worry about your education
And the bills you have to pay
I worry about my vulnerable life
And if I’ll survive another day
Your biggest fear is getting a ticket
As you cruise your Cadillac
My fear is that the tank that has just left
Will turn around and come back
Yet, do you know the truth of where your money goes?
Do you let the media deceive your mind?
Is this a truth nobody, nobody, nobody knows?
Has our world gone all blind?
Yet, do you know the truth of where your money goes?
Do you let the media deceive your mind?
Is this a truth nobody, nobody, nobody knows?
Someone tell me …
Ooohh, let’s not cry tonight
I promise you one day it’s through
Ohh my brothers, Ohh my sisters
Ooohh, shine a light for every soul that ain’t with us no more
Ohh my brothers, Ohh my sisters
See I’ve known terror for quite some time
57 years so cruel
Terror breathes the air I breathe
It’s the checkpoint on my way to school
Terror is the robbery of my land
And the torture of my mother
The imprisonment of my innocent father
The bullet in my baby brother
The bulldozers and the tanks
The gases and the guns
The bombs that fall outside my door
All due to your funds
You blame me for defending myself
Against the ways of my enemies
I’m terrorized in my own land (what)
And I’m the terrorist?
Yet, do you know the truth of where your money goes?
Do you let the media deceive your mind?
Is this a truth nobody, nobody, nobody knows?
Has our world gone all blind?
Yet, do you know the truth of where your money goes?
Do you let the media deceive your mind?
Is this a truth nobody, nobody, nobody knows?
Someone tell me …
Ooohh, let’s not cry tonight, I promise you one day it’s through
Ohh my brothers, Ohh my sisters,
Ooohh, shine a light for every soul that ain’t with us no more
Ohh my brothers, Ohh my sisters,
American , do you realize that the taxes that you pay
Feed the forces that traumatize my every living day
So if I won’t be here tomorrow
It’s written in my fate
May the future bring a brighter day
The end of our wait
(pause)
Ooohh, let’s not cry tonight, I promise you one day it’s through
Ohh my brothers, Ohh my sisters,
Ooohh, shine a light for every soul that ain’t with us no more
Ohh my brothers, Ohh my sisters,
[with kids]
Ohh let’s not cry tonight I promise you one day is through
Ohh my brothers! Ohh my sisters!
Ooh shine a light for every soul that ain’t with us no more
Ohh my brothers! Ohh my sisters!
