| The Birthday Massacre – Cover My Eyes Lyrics | 6 years ago |
|
My thoughts on this song are that the song is about someone who has become the age where their childhood is long behind them, and unable to face the real world, is shutting away and hiding. "Cover my eyes tonight. Don't let me see the light." Light is often a representation of knowledge, in this instance, she's singing that she wants to stay ignorant of the truth. She chooses to remain sheltered and ignorant, realizing that outside in the sun, where everything is visible, the true horrors of adulthood will show themselves. In darkness, under the pale moon, you can't see as much. So, being locked away, or under the cover of darkness, you can avoid seeing, or in the figurative meaning of light as knowledge, remain "protected" and sheltered away from everything that would reveal the world for what it truly. "Forever I crawl, forever I cry. I don't know who I am anymore, tonight." Becoming an adult means learning who you are, having a sense of self identity. If you lock yourself away from the rest of the world, never facing what life is, you'll never discover who you are. This is just my interpretation of it though, I might be way off. Chibi did say this album was heavily inspired by the unsolved murder shows she was watching a ton at the time. |
