Dalinar Gazes in Odium's Eyes

[+Child of Hodor]

I was walking around listening to music and thinking about the Stormlight Archive a thought struck me that I can't get out of my head. 

In OB Ch. 57 when Dalinar meets Odium and he says he's not afraid of him and Odium shows him all the fires that represent Passion and the core violet flame that is Hatred. When Dalinar comes to he still sees the violet fire in Odium's eyes.

I can't help, but score this scene to "In Your Eyes" by Peter Gabriel.  The song compares romantic passion in another's eyes to religion and I think of how Dalinar mistook Odium for Tanavast/The Almight when he first met Odium (even though he already met Tanavast who introduced himself as The Almighty in a vision Dalinar experienced ... 3 times, pay attention Dalinar!)

Days pass and this emptiness fills my heart

All my instincts, they return

And the grand facade, so soon will burn

In your eyes
The light the heat
In your eyes
I am complete
In your eyes
I see the doorway to a thousand churches
In your eyes
The resolution of all the fruitless searches
In your eyes
I see the light and the heat
In your eyes
Oh, I want to be that complete
I want to touch the light
The heat I see in your eyes

I'm a big PG fan, but...no. I can't align what that song is about with what Odium's eyes are saying.
