Open Your Eyes Lyrics

Lately
I'm not quite myself
Maybe,
I do need some help
Just my confusion
Trust my delusion

Don't you
Regret you met me
Go through
These steps to get me
Back to where we start
'Fore I fall apart

If I could black out
It'd become so clear
Standing face-to-face with everything I fear
Watch so closely
but still I don't see
As bad as it seems
a piece of mind I steal
An ordinary life
But consequences real
I'm past the point of reality

This isn't me
This isn't you
But it's just everything we do
Till you open up your eyes
and understand this isn't real
This isn't me
This isn't you
This is everything but true
Till we come to realize
It's what we put eachother through

It's like a bad dream
Coming all so true
Leaving me with nothing else left to do
Now so helpless
I'm not so selfish
Tell me
How does it feel to have a face like that
How does it feel to be replaced like that
Now so faceless
Do you still feel

This isn't me
This isn't you
But it's just everything we do
Till you open up your eyes
and understand this isn't real
This isn't me
This isn't you
This is everything but true
Till we come to realize
It's what we put eachother through

It's hard to believe right now
This seems to be real
Still phasing by this time
So why can't I wake up

This isn't me
This isn't you
But it's just everything we do
Till you open up your eyes
and understand this isn't real
This isn't me
This isn't you
This is everything but true
Till we come to realize
It's what we put eachother through

i'm pretty sure i kn ow what the song is saying; The world is really just a huge illusion. Everything we see is meaningless, except for the relationships we have with other human beings. The singer says he's confused but thinks that nothing else matters but his relationship with others (mainly the person he is disconnected with - probably a girlfriend). "its had to believe right now, this seems to be real" he's saying that its hard to believe that what we see has to meaning and no significance but if you "open your eyes , and understand this isn't real " you can see that what really matters is the people in our lives and noting else. We need to forget other factor that cause greed and selfishness to see the world for what it is: an illusion (only we are real)

personally i think this song is about someone whos scared of facing life. And confused on what to do because he does'nt think he can get anywhere... see if u cn see where i got that from in the lyrics...

This is probably wrong, but it fits with the beat and sounds good. The part after the first chorus under the main vocals could be:

"You can leave your days without a trace and turns out your life was just a waste now."

This song is pretty sweet. However, I do not think it is the best on the album.

this song to me is about fear of failure. when you put our mind to something.. you can accomplish that with no problems.

This song's great, one of my favourite one the album definetly. at this part: "It's like a bad dream Coming all so true Leaving me with nothing else left to do " there's vocals behind the main ones, does anybody know what they are?

This song is amazing.

I think it's about sort of deviating from reality and deeper into your intangible emotions until you're lost. I think that his unreal passiveness or reactions to the real world have begun to show him how easily he's slipping farther from himself, hence the:

"This isn't me This isn't you But it's just everything we do Till you open up your eyes and understand this isn't real This isn't me This isn't you This is everything but true"

He's finally realizing that he needs to wake up and get out of his dream because it's causing him to drift away from the real world, and he's changed.

Personally I think the last two CDs have basicly been one big song :-/ All the songs have a simmilar or the same meaning, or feel. Not that I'm complaining mind you.

i love this song, probably one of my favourite all time songs,

"Tell me How does it feel to have a face like that How does it feel to be replaced like that Now so faceless Do you still feel"

it sorta seems that someone was replaced and then its happening to that person, and sorting rubbing it in there face that it happend to them and now they can see how it feels!!!

"It's hard to believe right now This seems to be real Still phasing by this time So why can't I wake up"

^ i can relate to that atm =(
