Gotye – Eyes Wide Open Lyrics 13 years ago
Just hearing this for the first time. I got a different impression.

I thought it was about someone we've lost to suicide. So this is the end and we're left with what you left behind.

Some people offered up answers
We made out like we heard
They were only words
They didn't add up
To a change in the way we were living
And the saddest thing
Is all of it could have been avoided

This is a huge example of what calls it out. People who commit suicide usually comes without a warning and never reach out for help until it's too late. Then the family is left with a bunch of condolences, but no one ha any answers to why it had to happen in the first place.

Just a different perspective. I know the video for the song leads to a different perspective.
