Open Your Eyes

good song. i think its about a relationship between two people who are in love... except one partner (to whom he's singing) is troubled...maybe depressed, insecure and is holding back and perhaps keeping him at a distance. "All this feels strange and untrue And I won't waste a minute without you" - he's saying there's no reason for them to not be together and spend their time apart, when they should be & want to be together.

"My bones ache, my skin feels cold and I'm getting so tired and so old The anger swells in my guts And I won't heal these slices and cuts" - dealing with it makes him tired, weary and even angry.

He's imploring (her) to open her eyes... "I want so much to open your eyes 'cause I need you to look into mine" - saying that they have love and that he needs her too.

"Get up get out get away from these liars 'cause they don't get your soul or your fire." - she is misunderstood and not appreciated or seen as he sees her, by the people that surround her.

"Take my hand knot your fingers through mine And we'll walk through this dark room for the last time. Every minute from this minute now We can do what we like anywhere." - he's encouraging her saying that he'll be there, that they can make a new start, overcome the pain, leave it behind and be free do do what they choose...what makes them happy, together.

• went all out there... my first post =o)

p.s. i relate to the song a lot, it's almost descriptive of my last relationship.
