This song seemingly tackles the methods of deception those who manipulate others use to get victims to follow their demands, as well as diverting attention away from important issues. They'll also use it as a means to convince people to hate or kill others by pretending acts of terrorism were committed by the enemy when the acts themselves were done by the masters of control to promote discrimination and hate. It also reinforces the idea that these manipulative forces operate in various locations, infiltrating everyday life without detection, and propagate any and everywhere.
In general, it highlights the danger of hidden agendas, manipulation, and distraction, serving as a critique of those who exploit chaos and confusion to control and gain power, depicting a cautionary tale against falling into their traps. It encourages us to question the narratives presented to us and remain vigilant against manipulation in various parts of society.
Baby, I get so scared inside and I don't really understand
Is it love that's on my mind or is it fantasy?
Heaven is in the palm of my hand and it's waiting here for you
What am I supposed to do with a childhood tragedy?
If I close my eyes forever, will it all remain unchanged?
If I close my eyes forever, will it all remain the same?
Sometimes it's hard to hold on, so hard to hold on to my dreams
It isn't always what it seems when you're face to face with me
You're like a dagger, and stick me in the heart
And taste the blood from my blade
And when we sleep, would you shelter me in your warm and darkend grave?
If I close my eyes forever, will it all remain unchanged?
If I close my eyes forever, will it all remain the same?
Will you ever take me? No I just can't take the pain
Would you ever trust me? No I'll never feel the same
I know I've been so hard on you, I know I've told you lies
If I could have just one more wish, I'd wipe the cobwebs from my eyes
If I close my eyes forever, will it all remain unchanged?
If I close my eyes forever, will it all remain the same?
Is it love that's on my mind or is it fantasy?
Heaven is in the palm of my hand and it's waiting here for you
What am I supposed to do with a childhood tragedy?
If I close my eyes forever, will it all remain unchanged?
If I close my eyes forever, will it all remain the same?
Sometimes it's hard to hold on, so hard to hold on to my dreams
It isn't always what it seems when you're face to face with me
You're like a dagger, and stick me in the heart
And taste the blood from my blade
And when we sleep, would you shelter me in your warm and darkend grave?
If I close my eyes forever, will it all remain unchanged?
If I close my eyes forever, will it all remain the same?
Will you ever take me? No I just can't take the pain
Would you ever trust me? No I'll never feel the same
I know I've been so hard on you, I know I've told you lies
If I could have just one more wish, I'd wipe the cobwebs from my eyes
If I close my eyes forever, will it all remain unchanged?
If I close my eyes forever, will it all remain the same?

@[Diderik:33655] "Your a holiday!" Was a popular term used in the 50s/60s to compliment someone on their all around. For example, not only are they beautiful, but they are fun and kind too ... just an all around "holiday".
I think your first comment is closer to being accurate. The singer/song writers state "Millions of eyes can see, yet why am i so blind!? When the someone else is me, its unkind its unkind". I believe hes referring to the girl toying with him and using him. He wants something deeper with her, thats why he allows himself to be as a puppet (even though for her fun and games) as long as it makes her happy. But he knows deep down that she doesnt really want to be serious with him and thats what makes him.

This song is written as the perspective of the boys in the street, as a whole, and what path they are going to choose as they get older and grow into men. (This is why the music video takes place in an orphanage.) The seen, and unseen collective suffering is imbedded in the boys’ mind, consciously or subconsciously, and is haunting them. Which path will the boys choose? Issac Hayes is the voice of reason, maybe God, the angel on his shoulder, or the voice of his forefathers from beyond the grave who can see the big picture and are pleading with the boys not to continue the violence and pattern of killing their brothers, but to rise above. The most beautiful song and has so many levels. Racism towards African Americans in America would not exist if everyone sat down and listened to this song and understood the history behind the words. The power, fear, pleading in RZA and Ghostface voices are genuine and powerful. Issac Hayes’ strong voice makes the perfect strong father figure, who is possibly from beyond the grave.

Ed Sheeran
“Blue” is a song about a love that is persisting in the discomfort of the person experiencing the emotion. Ed Sheeran reflects on love lost, and although he wishes his former partner find happiness, he cannot but admit his feelings are still very much there. He expresses the realization that he might never find another on this stringed instrumental by Aaron Dessner.
i don't know what it means to me except it sounds like both a love song and a cry for help.
I think this song is about a girl and a guy who have a relationship together - sorta. The guy knows the girl didn't grow up a good life, as her only idea of what a relationship is happened to come from bad, cheating parents..or whatever..and so when she cheats on him, he doesn't know what to do..
Anyway, so the guy knows that he loves her and wants to be with her, but she is struggling with her feelings. At one point they had a wonderful relationship, and she knew she loved him. Now, though, she is unsure. She knows that he would be good for her, her would protect her and everything, but she feels he is also smuggling her - and this hurts her too, because she cares for him and doesn’t want to hurt him.
She wishes she could figure out whether she loves him, and he knows that even when she does, he might not feel the same, because she did, after all, cheat on him.
The chorus, or “Close my eyes,” is about them both wishing to go back to the past, when things were simpler…
Of course, I could be wrong, but that’s what I got out of it. ^_^
My interpretation of this is that the guy is dead. She is talking to his ghost or maybe the part of her mind that is him. She betrayed him or something and he has committed suicide because of it. In the end, he is telling her to commit suicide if she wants to make am\mends and be with him forever.
I think that the guy wants to be with her and he's basicly tried everything but hasn't got the message through to her. He thinks that the only way to really get her attention is for him to commit suicide hence closing his eyes forever. He wonders if then would she understand and consider it, or would she even care hence would it all remain the same. That's what comes to my mind. When a lot of people have relationship problems they sometimes come to the idea of suicide. And please this isn't a facebook page people. This website is made to provide info on the meaning of a song. Could we all stop posting random crap and tell what it actually means. If you don't know then don't put it on.
Why has no-one commented on this song yet?? It's so beautiful...
Ozzy Osbourne - You're no Different
i think this is a romeo and juliet type song with an anti suicide vibe
this song is about the guy cheating on the lady but the gal still loves the guy... the guy loves the girl also but it is a different love than the love we see in childhood movies because he loves her but he isn't going to stop cheating on her...
Lita was damn sexy back in the day...
I have never been an OZZY fan, but we was exceptional were with Lita. As it was Lita's song, I will not look into rationale from Ozzy on the lyrics. I believe the song decribes a relationship that was once strong a vibrant, but fell apart when the woman in it started taking it for granted in some way. I am not sure what the "childhood tragedy" refers to, though it could have been either a child with another man as the father or an abortions apparently hidden from him. Throughout the song, both anguish over not being able to change the past. It may be that they are each asking themselves that, if they died, would the situation be any better for anyone, or that they wish they could simply undo the mistakes of the past. She admits to having treated him badly and having lied to him, and he admits to not being able to look past what has gone between them. The spicifics are vague, but the song is beautiful, haunting, and highly emotional with a feeling of desperation almost ready to erupt into something far worse.
