In this song, Abel Tesfaye appears to be the speaker, otherwise known as The Weeknd. He tells about his relationship with model Bella Hadid. Abel and Bella had an on-and-off relationship throughout 2015-2019. The audience of this song would be Bella, and all of the girlfriends Abel had during times when Bella and Abel were not together.

Abel now single, uses ethos, pathos, and logos throughout this song's lyrics and video of “In Your Eyes” to show how he still feels about his former girlfriend Bella Hadid. He tries to show her that he really is trying to move on but he still can’t ignore that he has feelings for her. Abel uses metaphors, symbols, and logical elements to show his true feelings.

In the first two lines “I just pretend that I’m in the dark” “I don’t regret ‘cause my heart can’t take a loss”. He wants to pretend that he doesn’t know what is happening in his relationship to keep him from being heartbroken. He has had his heart broken before this and he thinks that if it continues to happen eventually he will reach a point where he becomes emotionally unbreakable. In lines 6 and 7 he says “I don’t ever wanna know” “I can tell what you done, yeah”. He has had experiences in the past to know that when someone cheats on you it can ruin your relationship.

In the lines “I see there’s something burning inside you” “I know it hurts to smile, but you try to”. He acknowledges that he wants to be with her but she also has a secret that she is trying so desperately to hide. But he can tell by the look in her eyes that she is suffering.

In one of the lines, he says “I tried to find love”. He shows he has tried to find someone else who loves him as much as he loves them. But the line “when I tell you you’re the one that was on my mind”. He shows that even when he tried to move on and find someone else he still can’t keep his mind off of her. Lastly, the line says “I’m ashamed of what I’ve done” “ when I look at you”. In the end, he is sad and embarrassed that he couldn’t move on from her.

In this scene, it shows how Abel knows that his girlfriend has cheated because he saw them together. And wants to punish them both for their actions.

Here again, it shows him noticing from a distance that she is having fun and partying without him. She doesn't know he is present, so this creates a dilemma where he knows about her secret and is waiting to confront her.

In this part of the video, the woman is shown trying to get someone to help her out with trying to get away from Abel. It shows that she does not want to be with him while she is trying to think about what to do with her secret.

Here she is shown grabbing a axe to protect herself from Abel. This shows that she is afraid of what Abel is capable of. I think this symbolizes that if she tells Abel about her cheating she isnt prepared for what could happen next.

Here she is shown dancing with his head but not his body. I think this is trying to symbolize how it would be easier for her to be with him if she didn't have to worry about him asking her about her cheating.

Throughout the lyrics, there are several appeals to make Abel's message clear to his ex-girlfriend that he still loves her. The video also adds to the message by showing meaning to the lyrics. Overall, Abel in my opinion is effective in both the video and lyrics that convincing his ex-girlfriend that he wants to put things in the past and he wants to give it another chance. But she is not sure what she wants to do.
