"World in My Eyes" is Depeche Mode's twenty-sixth UK single, released on 17 September 1990, and the fourth and final single for the album Violator.
The cover art for "World in My Eyes" has a photo of one of the band members making a shape similar to that of glasses with their hands. On the Limited 12", there are pictures of all four members.
"World in My Eyes" has two exclusive B-sides, making Violator the only Depeche Mode album with all four singles having at least one exclusive B-Side, including instrumentals. The B-sides for "World in My Eyes" are "Happiest Girl" and "Sea of Sin".
"Happiest Girl (Jack Mix)" and "Sea of Sin (Tonal Mix)" are the main 7" versions. "Original" versions were never released, or rather, these mixes are the regular versions, according to interviews and the official website.
Reaching No.17 in UK, and only No.52 on the Hot 100, it is the least successful single from Violator.
The 2004 re-release of the EU single includes a longer-intro version of "World in My Eyes (Oil Tank Mix)".

Famous quotes containing the words world in, world and/or eyes:
“I had the idea that there were two worlds. There was a real world as I called it, a world of wars and boxing clubs and children’s homes on back streets, and this real world was a world where orphans burned orphans.... I liked the other world in which almost everyone lived. The imaginary world.”
—Norman Mailer (b. 1923)
“The question arises as to whether it is possible not to live in the world of men and still to live in the world.”
—Louise Bernikow (b. 1940)
“And are not men than they more blind,
Who having eyes yet never find
The bliss in which they move:
Like statues dead
They up and down are carried,
Yet neither see nor love.”
—Thomas Traherne (1636–1674)
