Eyes Wide Open Lyrics
It's like taking your medicine
Admitting the relevance
Of every experience
You're thanking the elements
In all their appearances
Ins't life just the clearest when
You face interferences with an aim for fearlessness
With eyes wide open it can be so hard to live in this world today
But if you close them you just might miss out
And life will pass you by
You know that
Things will never change
And your life will
Always stay the same
Eyes open
Eyes shut
I need some memory loss
Tell me what's that gonna cost?
If it has to do with attitude I'll pack up and get lost
I'm having second thoughts on going trough with this
I should say screw this shit close my eyes and get used to it
Unchanged
Don't waste your life away
Blankness with an over anxiousness
To erase this you must be courageous
Just to face what gives you knots in your stomach
And once you've done it
You're gonna love it
Getting up there and being above it
Admitting the relevance
Of every experience
You're thanking the elements
In all their appearances
Ins't life just the clearest when
You face interferences with an aim for fearlessness
But if you close them you just might miss out
And life will pass you by
Things will never change
And your life will
Always stay the same
Eyes shut
Tell me what's that gonna cost?
If it has to do with attitude I'll pack up and get lost
I'm having second thoughts on going trough with this
I should say screw this shit close my eyes and get used to it
Don't waste your life away
To erase this you must be courageous
Just to face what gives you knots in your stomach
And once you've done it
You're gonna love it
Getting up there and being above it

I cant beleive this song doesnt have any comments on it yet, over a year after the song was posted.
I think this song is about how life can be tough sometimes, that you may be locked in stasis, never changing, but you cant just be passive, because that would mean life would pass you by. Instead, you have to face the difficulties of life, because thats when it becomes clearest, and easiest. ("Ins't life just the clearest when You face interferences with an aim for fearlessness")
This is an awesome band, and this song in particular is very good.
omggg only one comment ? this song is amazng. the first time i heard it when it came out i loved it.
& i agree 100% with orderrestored you have to face your life no mattter how bad it gets you just have to fight through it b.c if you dont you'll miss out on all the amazing things life has to offer
"Blankness with an over anxiousness To erase this you must be courageous Just to face what gives you knots in your stomach And once you've done it You're gonna love it Getting up there and being above it "
you have to have courage to over come everything and once you have, you'll be okay.
it's sad this is only the third comment on this song. but the song is very true. bad things happen to people who don't deserve them. but you have to just keep living in fearlessness and hope no matter how hard things get. just find someone you can love and trust. i did <3
