Close Your Eyes Lyrics
you told me who you were
but i guess i never heard
you thought it treason
'til i saw you from the floor
running out the door
you had your reasons
but don't close your eyes
'cause you might need them now
but don't close your eyes
you might need them now
well, i pulled you off the fence
to see the consequence;
we didn't dream it
then i looked into your eyes
but you hid in a disguise
i'd never seen it
but don't close your eyes
'cause you might need them now
don't close your eyes
don't close your eyes
yeah, yeah
baby, you were my baby
i put my writing on the wall but you never read at all
maybe, only maybe if i run into the sea
you can watch me stop to breathe and feel...
i rose up from a dream to a nightmare from a scene of a motion picture
the rocks began to slide and everybody died in just a flicker
so don't close your eyes
'cause you might need them now
don't close your eyes
don't close your eyes
hey-yeah
baby, you were my baby
i put my writing on the wall but you never read at all
maybe, only maybe if i run into the sea
you can watch me stop to breathe and feel...
i still see it on your mind but that will pass in time 'cause time will heal it
so don't close your eyes
'cause you might need them now
don't close your eyes
you might need them now.
but i guess i never heard
you thought it treason
running out the door
you had your reasons
'cause you might need them now
but don't close your eyes
you might need them now
to see the consequence;
we didn't dream it
but you hid in a disguise
i'd never seen it
'cause you might need them now
don't close your eyes
don't close your eyes
yeah, yeah
i put my writing on the wall but you never read at all
maybe, only maybe if i run into the sea
you can watch me stop to breathe and feel...
the rocks began to slide and everybody died in just a flicker
'cause you might need them now
don't close your eyes
don't close your eyes
hey-yeah
i put my writing on the wall but you never read at all
maybe, only maybe if i run into the sea
you can watch me stop to breathe and feel...
'cause you might need them now
don't close your eyes
you might need them now.

ok, so i'm sorry, but i don't know what this song means, but i do get that it's beautiful and painful. about a relationship where maybe communication "but you never read at all", and possibly drugs "i saw you from the floor", were a problem.
haven't figured out "don't close your eyes cause you might need them now" means. maybe he did throw himself into the ocean and now she'll need to see him, to identify the body. that finally she'll pay attention, when it's already too late.
(it all sounds really dramatic, but there's that line "i rose up from a dream to a nightmare from a scene of a motion picture" that makes me think it's supposed to be really melodramatic.)
that's just my take.
what? not more posts? this is a quality song. wow.
I agree with the fact it is about a bad relationship. To me, the Don't Close Your Eyes might be about suicide and trying to prevent it. That's just what I get out of it.
