    This song was written in response to the PMRC(Parents Musical Resource Center) attempting to censor music they deemed innapropriate for kids. They targeted artists of nearly every genre, mostly metal. There were congressional hearings to decide banning sale and distribution of music. In the U.S.A.! As a young metalhead back in the 80's, it seemed like every band had a similar song about censorship, Megadeth's "Hook In Mouth" is one of the best imo. Also EVERY music fan should see Twisted Sister singer Dee Snider's testimony in Congress on this issue. Dressed like he was ready to hit the stage, he shocked the stuffy old fuddy duddies with his eloquent defense of freedom. The end result was the Parental Advisory stickers on cassettes and cd's, which only let the kids know what the cool shit was!

      Not disagreeing, but the other side of Freedom of Speech is society’s reaction… which is also Freedom of Speech… I always think people who yell “freedom of speech” are those who are being jerks and don’t want to deal with the consequences. Freedom of Speech is a two way street that too many on either side treat as one way (their way).

    One of my favourites, often overlooked. Amazing lyrics and music.
    And this whole album pretty much describes the last few years we have lived, and does it very well. Things like "Blackened", "Frayed Ends of Sanity", "Shortest Straw", "...And Justice for All", and of course this one, seem to fit really well in times of confusion and conflict, like the one we are living in.

    The title does not appear in the lyrics. "Eye Of The Beholder" comes from the phrase "Beauty is in the eye of the beholder," meaning that people see things in different ways. Our perception is our reality.
    This song is about how despite freedom of speech, America isn't really free: "You can do it your way if it's done just how I say." Is the perfect tag line to describe that. But sometimes lost on some is that freedom goes hand in hand with responsibility.

    This is the perfect song to describe the difference between my truth, your truth, and THE TRUTH. There is only one truth, even if it's not revealed to us at the moment. Truth is objective, but it's easy for subjective opinion to masquerade as truth, or to pervert the truth. People use half truths all the time to justify their own stance, or opinion on things. If a person knows the objective truth, but decides to add their own opinion into it, or outright change it, it's a straight up lie no matter what their intentions are. Teachers lie to us all the time, especially now with public schools implementing lying to kids about facts of life. As a repercussion, kids are growing up further and further removed from reality. Some adults never grow up. A lot of us with caring parents have heard the classic line, "you are special", and "you can do anything you want to do in life if you work hard enough". That's a great thought, but it doesn't tell you how to succeed in life. A lot of times, that's why kids graduate from college, and can't find a job. They did all of the work, spent all of the money (sometimes with loans) for absolutely nothing, and some of them don't think they should have to pay back the money they were lent for their education. It's better to be taught to take advantage of what you are best at, maximize your efforts, and find a sure way to make an honest living with it.

If you in fact review the song, I will say the instrumentals are the most important to listen by because there is so much raw emotion put into the instrumentals. You will genuinely love it.

    Freedom of speech is something I really took for granted before but over the past five or six years I started to understand and truly value the importance of free speech. During the COVID lockdowns Eye of the Beholder was one of those songs I hadn't listened to in God knows how long and I definitely gained a new perspective on the lyrics that's for sure. 😐
