“In My Eyes” is the ninth song on the Minor Threat self titled EP.

The Washington D.C. band known for their straight edge, sober life style created many songs about their disdain for drug use, drug culture and drug users. This song can be included in that idealogical category.

The lyrics depict one side of a heated argument between two people over how they each perceive each other in the heat of battle, with one being sober and the other not.

The rage in the vocal delivery cannot be denied and contributed to the band’s image as defiantly, unapologetic, artists forcefully resisting the pop culture trend to glamorize drug use in young people and artists.
