The lyrics of Acen's song "Close Your Eyes" encourages its listeners to forget the world and the people around them and just close their eyes. The repetition of the phrase "Just close your eyes" emphasizes the importance of blocking out reality and escaping into one's mind. The lyrics are encouraging the listener to experience a state of ecstasy, a feeling of intense happiness and euphoria.
The song seems to be promoting the use of drugs as a way to achieve this state of ecstasy. The lines "Just close your eyes, Forget your name" suggest a desire to escape from one's own identity and individuality. The repetition of the phrase "Ecstacy" at the end of the song reinforces this idea.
The drumbeat throughout the song, which comes in at the end, creates a hypnotic effect and further emphasizes the idea of losing oneself in the music and letting go of one's inhibitions.
Overall, the lyrics of the song promote the idea of escaping reality and achieving a state of euphoria, potentially through the use of drugs.

Wkikpedia: Acen Razvi is an English breakbeat hardcore/techno music producer. Acen was known for tracks such as "Close Your Eyes", "Window in the Sky" and "Trip II the Moon" (the latter two both 1992). He worked for the Production House Records stable, which also brought fame to Baby D. He released the album 75 Minutes.
He has also collaborated with Baby D's Floyd Dyce to form The House Crew.
He is now a filmmaker, specialising in short films under the name Acen Films Limited to be shown at festivals. Besides producing dance music tracks, his aim is to fuse art forms and to introduce pioneering visual and musical perceptions to new audiences.
In 1999, Tom Ewing of Freaky Trigger described Razvi as "the most underrated act of the decade": "His series of 12β³ singles, tossed out into the seething dance marketplace of β92ββ93, are without exception stunning. Acen is the lushest, and most lyrical, of the great hardcore producers, and if his gleeful inventiveness and wicked way with a sample are more typical of the time, that just goes to show what an unbelievable time it was. More than anyone else making records, Acen for me encompasses the beauty, velocity and freedom of hardcore."
In his list of the "Top 100 Singles of the 90s", "Trip II the Moon (Part 2)" was ranked at number 23 and "Close Your Eyes (Optikonfusion!)" was ranked at number 44, while "Window in the Sky" almost featured on the list.

Iβll forever be thankful that I grew up in the 90βs. Those of us who did should appreciate how unique it was, early 90βs especially. The drugs, the music and the culture amounted to something really special, the likes of which we are unlikely to see again for some time π
@MadMartianMunchkin
The sheer genius of Acen back then... who else would have dreamed up a mix of hardcore The doors and The Beatles... he did again with Trip 2 The Moon and Window In the sky... A real piece of hardcore history!

I know the early 90s they thought this more progression style was hardcore yet after the influx of Rotterdam and Chicago styles with the likes of Paul Elstak, Neophyte, Ruffneck an Lenny Dee I'm not seeing the hardcore. The progression of the 80s high energy to this style to grabber and hardcore was an absolutely astounding time in the fields and clubs. To think we then went into house and garage from Rotterdam. Off thing is our kids thought techno was their era of music π
