The song "Look Me In The Eyes (Skitstövel)" by Half Moon Run is about a relationship that is breaking down due to lack of communication and honesty. The repeated phrase "You won't look me in the eyes" indicates that one person is avoiding confronting the problems in the relationship and is not willing to be truthful. The other person is left feeling frustrated and hurt by this avoidance. The lyrics also suggest that the person who is avoiding confrontation is not surprised by their partner's upset and is perhaps used to doing things that hurt their partner. The use of the Swedish word "Skitstövel" (meaning "shit boot" or "asshole") emphasizes the negative feelings towards this person. The verse about being separated by a closed door and the sound of a constantly ringing phone suggests that the person is avoiding their partner's attempts at communication and may be engaging in deceitful behavior. Overall, the song is a plea for honesty and communication in a relationship. The repeated phrase "You don't have to understand what I'm going through" suggests that the person who is avoiding confrontation may be struggling with their own internal issues, but their partner still needs them to be truthful and present in the relationship.
