Eyes Wired Shut Lyrics

i've thrown away.....
the pills that make me
i've thrown away
the chance, the want to change
i've thrown away....
i'm standing all alone
i've thrown away again....

eyes wored shut
running through my brain
pulling back the skin
it happens, we're getting older
eyes wired shut
running through my brain
it's all the same
but in the end it keeps me coming

i've blown away.....
the fear of failing
i've blown away....
the lies that make me sane
i've blown away....
the chance to make it right
i want to be, i wnat to see,
i wnat to kame it back to me

This song reminds me of the transition between high school and college.

The lyrics remind me of how in high school you had to be popular to fit in, not to change, and to always have someone around.

As you move to college you realize that you're getting older and all that bs from high school doesn't matter anymore. You're not worried as much about failing (socially mind you) and you don't have to believe in "lies" to fit in. And now that you're in college, you make it back to who you truly are.

i believe it goes a little somthing like this...

I’ve thrown away again the pills that make me I’ve thrown away again the chance to want to change I’ve thrown away again I’m standing all alone I’ve thrown away again

Eyes wired shut running through my brain Pulling back the skin it happens we’re getting older Eyes wired shut running through my brain It’s all the same but in the end it keeps me coming

I’ve blown away again the fear of failing I’ve blown away again the lies that make me sane I’ve blown away the chance to make it right I want to be I want to see I want to make it back to me

‘Cause I just waste away the chance the time to face the change To make myself to think that things are better

In my opinion this song is about living with PTSD.

"Eyes Wired Shut"

Referring to not being able to see things the way you want to

"Running through my brain"

Referring to being tormented by your own thoughts

Also when he says "I throw it away" that's saying he is trying to get away from the things that are making it worse. In the video too at the beginning they show a picture of a war hero. We all know how common PTSD is in the military.
