"Paranoid Eyes" is a song from Pink Floyd's 1983 album, "The Final Cut." It has never been performed live.

The lyrics are about a man trying to re-adjust to being home after the war, and trying not to show weakness in front of everyone else. This includes not talking about his experiences, especially when directly questioned about them. The lyrics also express this veteran's fear of the capabilities of human beings "Behind petrified eyes." It eventually displays the veteran's retreat into alcoholism as he ages, and his disenchantment of the "Post-War Dream" ("You believed in their stories / Of fame, fortune, and glory / And now you're lost in a haze / Of alcohol and soft middle-age / The pie in the sky / Turned out to be miles too high / And you can hide hide hide / Behind brown and mild eyes").
