about

“Eyes” is a song about taking a step into a dark landscape, and trusting that things will turn out okay. Saying goodbye to the familiar is sometimes a necessary step to achieve personal growth, but the initial stride into what’s unknown can be terrifying. The lyrics in “Eyes” are meant to celebrate that essential positive notion.

lyrics

Holding back,
Cold shoulder attach
Thawing it out to find
The icy burn, the price absurd’s
Deserving what was momentarily mine

Mirror, don’t cry
Water upon your eye
I’m sinking down again
A little bit, a little hit,
Another sitting duck that walked away

My eyes are wide open but it’s dark
My eyes are wide open but it’s dark

Getting close
Comatose
Green is the afternoon
The lightning moving, disapproving,
Ordinarily ordinary moon

My eyes are wide open but it’s dark
My eyes are wide open but it’s dark
My eyes are wide open but it’s dark enough for mine

I’ll sink into the daffodils,
The sunlight kills
The shield the field disguised

I have never noticed how there’s life inside of all non-living things
My eyes are wide open but it’s dark
