Song interpretation
This song from the film Cuckoo expresses the tender and deep emotional bond between two visually impaired soulmates. Unable to view the physical world through sight, the lovers experience nature, beauty, and each other through touch, deep empathy, and shared feelings. The lyrics celebrate a selfless love where two individuals become each other's eyes and ultimate reason for living.
