Open Your Eyes Lyrics

You want what you deserve
But it's right in front of you
You want something better
Than any other
You don't even bother
To figure what it is
That you think you deserve
You'll find it all one day
But not this way
Open your eyes
Your heart will follow
Open your eyes
See what you've been missing
Open your eyes
And find the answer
I can't take anymore
Have you ever asked yourself
What am I looking for
You're indecisive
You are just another
Caught up in all of this
Plastic glamorous world
You'll never see
Who you could be
Open your eyes
Your heart will follow
Open your eyes
See what you've been missing
Open your eyes
And find the answer
You're world is waiting, anticipating
But your time is fading
If you never open your eyes
If only you could see
That there's something you can do
To make this better
Open your eyes
Your heart will follow
Open your eyes
See what you've been missing
Open your eyes
And find the answer
You're world is waiting, anticipating
But your time is fading
If you never open your eyes

Cover art for Open Your Eyes lyrics by Hoobastank

This song perfectly describes a girl I was chasing for three years. She always wanted more, and could never get it, even though I was there the entire time waiting. Needless to say, it didn't work out, and I really don't care anymore.

"aim for the moon. even if you miss, you'll land among the stars"

stop taking what you have for granted, look around and realize how good you've got it (obvious meaning)

i love you and i'm staying with you, stop trying to make this better because it already is (soppy emo kid meaning)

stop starving yourselves and putting on makeup thick enough to hide WWII tanks, it's not going to change who you are inside and it's not going to get you any new friends; look inside for what counts-truth is the answer (deeper cultural meaning)
