Wicked Eyes
Emerging straight from the “Hypna-cave,” we present our most daring and experimental track yet – “Wicked Eyes.”
Officially released on October 25th, 2024, this song envelops you in a dark, hypnotic soundscape of shadowy allure, weaving a sinister tale of obsession with a “snake of a man” whose charm is as dangerous as it is irresistible.
Obscure Sound describes it well:
“I just can’t resist those wicked eyes,” captures a state of being smitten, with “a snake of a man,” with suave engagement. The second half invigorates with the uptick in distortion and vocal passion. - Obscure Sound
“Wicked Eyes” blends a garage indie rock sound heard in previous Hypnatwist releases with more of a psychedelic rock sound. Brooding basslines, atmospheric guitars, and eerie rhythms that mimic the sounds of spurs on a snakeskin boot, pulling listeners deep into a hypnotic trance. It’s an enticing invitation to the shadows, where danger and desire dance. After the final chorus, the vocals take a dramatic twist, leaving the interpretation of the stories end up to the listener.
Other reviewers have echoed the song’s appeal:
- “Impressive production” – You Do You
- “Great singer” – American Pancake
- “Atmospheric guitar sound. Good bass delivery. Nice trip-hop flavor.” – Grotesqualizer
- “The vocal melody, the solid groove of the bassline and drums, and the guitar starting at 3:05 were amazing” – Niche Music

Lyrics
Oh what a snake of a man
Poison that makes you go mad
Spirals of emerald and black
Danger alarms and attracts
Oh my this snake of a man
Diamonds that run down his back
The slits of his tongue, so exact
Seduction precedes the attack
And when he slithers by
I am hypnotized
I just can’t resist
Those wicked eyes
Oh what snake of a man
The sound of his rattle suggests
He’s in a state of unrest
I’m paralyzed by the threat
Around and around me he wraps
I can’t escape, I just can’t
Run if you, run if you can
I know that I’m good as dead
And when he holds me tight
Sinking in his bite
Ah my whole world melts inside
The stars are bright tonight
For someone else’s sight
Let me wish into those wicked eyes
