| Queens of the Stone Age – Keep Your Eyes Peeled Lyrics | 12 years ago |
|
This song seems to deal with the feelings that come from being trapped in mental negativity/hell, feeling unable to escape but continuing to blend in with the rest of the world Verse 1 Don’t look, just keep your eyes peeled - Be aware (the world is an evil place) Thoughtless, trapped in my minefield - Mentally trapped by bad thoughts that can lead to self destructing Shotgun, never behind the wheel anymore - Feeling a loss of control over your own life and feelings as the shit has taken a level of control Danger, monsters of smoke and mirror - The monsters aren't real, but they're in the head (and they're powerful) Slowly, can one so lost be found? - Feeling hopeless in such a low place Chorus And I know, you will never believe I play as though I’m alright - I wear this smile and fit in, but underneath I'm losing it If life is but a dream, then Wake me up - If this is reality than I do not want to live it The rest of the lyrics build on those ideas with different concepts of struggling. Really powerful stuff relating to such an intense emotional state. |
