Open Up Your Eyes Lyrics
big enough to drag me down
where i am people's voices make hollow sounds
just be quiet
they'll go away
dont let your mind tell the story here
open up your eyes
just let me go
its so safe floating in the glass
while above
while above all your troubles pass
just be quiet
they'll go away
dont let your mind tell the story here
open up your eyes
just let me go
open up your eyes
just let me go, let me go, let me go
open up your eyes
just let me go
i heard htis song for the first time today it was on a big stereo, the bass blew me away, literally, haha this song kicks ass
The song that caught me and made a fan. :) "Choosing stones,big enough to drag you down,people's voices make hollow sounds"... I love Emerson Hart's lyrics. :)
To me its pretty clear this song is about addiction. He even takes a more direct approach by referencing drinking ones problems away and feeling safe doing so.
this song rules
Totally.
This is what I miss about 90's rock.
That's all the comments this song gets? :\
This song, to me, seems to be telling the listener to follow their heart and not over think or spend too much time in their head. "Choosing stones big enough to drag me down" is like trying to think of all the ways that something could go wrong. "Where I am, people's voices make hollow sounds" - When you spend too much time in your head, people's words can have a negative effect on you no matter what they say. "Open up your eyes, don't let your mind tell the story here" - Take it in, but don't over think it.
To me, this song is about someone who has passed on...
Choosing stones (tombstones) big enough (literally) to drag them down.
Where I am (Heaven), people's voices make hollow sounds (could be that they can't quite hear them properly, or perhaps this lyric is from the person at the funeral, where people's voices and what they are saying are not entirely sinking in... )
It's so safe, floating in the glass (Floating in heaven is safe, they are letting you know don't worry, they are safe) While above, all your troubles pass (No matter what troubles they had, when they are 'above' all their troubles are gone)
Open up your eyes (Don't be sad and close your eyes) Don't let your mind tell the story here (This is a life defining moment in your life, a loved one has passed on and whether you like it or not, this is not something that you want to turn away from. You must face it head on, tell the story of what happened, not what your mind was telling you at the time)
@bundy92 Nope, nothing to do with religion. "Floating in the glass" is a reference to being untouchable as troubles occur outside of your world. "Don\'t let your mind tell the story here" is a reference to not letting your mind fool you from reality - going back to the glass protection. This entire song is telling you to not let your mind fool you from reality.

This is about seeking truth. It is a heavy burden. The chatter of others is hollow, as they are without knowledge.
Don't rely on your mind, as you also have limited knowledge (there's always unknown), and it can be supplemented with spiritual connection.
The glass is the screens people rely on to feel safe and told what to do. Hypnotized into aloofness.
