All Ends Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
You said you'd leave
But you never did
I's time you ment the words you said
I can't stand you're leaving
I turn around
I close my eyes
'Cause I see your face everywhere
Want to forget the day that we met
Close my eyes
I close my eyes
'Cause I see your face everywhere
Want to forget
I have to move on!
Fool, I found out you still look at me with a smile
Oh, don't you need my eyes wide shut
But you'll be the one living with the pain
You gave up too easy
I turn around
Close my eyes
I close my eyes
'Cause I see your face everywhere
Want to forget the day that we met
Close my eyes
I close my eyes
'Cause I see your face everywhere
Want to forget
I have to move on!
I try how I get through this
Then I won't be no more
In stead you're leaving
You gave up too easy
I turn around
Close my eyes
I close my eyes
'Cause I see your face everywhere
Want to forget the day that we met
Close my eyes
I close my eyes
'Cause I see your face everywhere
Want to forget (In stead you're leaving)
I have to move on! (You gave up too easy)
The lyrics to All Ends's song Close My Eyes tell a story of heartbreak and the struggle to move on. The singer addresses their former lover, expressing their despair and desire to forget the day they met. The first verse sets the tone of the song, with the singer acknowledging that they never wanted their ex to know how much they cared. The following lines reveal that the ex had promised to leave, but never did, leaving the singer to feel abandoned when they themselves try to leave. The line "It's time you meant the words you said" suggests that the singer believes their ex should have followed through with their promise to leave, rather than giving them false hope.
In the chorus, the singer turns inward and tries to shut out the memories of their ex by closing their eyes. They see their ex's face everywhere and want to forget the pain of their past relationship. The second verse suggests that the ex still looks at the singer with a smile, which only adds to their confusion and pain. The line "But you'll be the one living with the pain" suggests that the singer believes their ex will eventually realize their mistake in leaving.
The final verse reveals that the singer is struggling to move on from the breakup, but realizes that they must in order to find peace. The repetition of "In stead you're leaving/You gave up too easy/I turn around" emphasizes the singer's frustration with their ex for not following through with their promises. Overall, the lyrics to Close My Eyes paint a picture of a difficult breakup and the emotional turmoil that comes with trying to move on.
