Open Your Eyes
Black Heart Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Down by the old fire range
You wouldn't hear a sound from my lips
But maybe someday I will see
Cause it was a crime I never told about the diamonds in your eyes
It's a crime I never told you about the diamonds in your eyes

And maybe someday we will be
Away with the wind we'll go
By the sea we'll float
Away with the wind we'll go
A million miles away
Away with the wind we'll blow
To the sea we'll float
Down along the way
Down along the way

And maybe someday I will say
I'll say please, please
Don't tear your heart from me
Cause it was a crime I never told about the diamonds in your eyes
It's a crime I never told you about the diamonds in your eyes

And maybe someday we will be
Away with the wind we'll go
By the sea we'll float
And away with the wind we'll go
A million miles away
And you'll say maybe someday we will be
And you'll say please please
Don't tear your heart from me
Away with the wind we'll go
By the sea we'll float
Away with the wind we'll blow
By the sea we'll float
Down along the way




Down along the way
Down along the way

Overall Meaning

The lyrics of "Open Your Eyes" by Black Heart are a combination of melancholy and tender moments. The opening lines, "Down by the old fire range, you wouldn't hear a sound from my lips" establish the somber mood of the song. It seems like the singer is reminiscing about a past love, and how they could not express themselves fully. The following lines "But maybe someday I will see, cause it was a crime I never told about the diamonds in your eyes" reveal that there were unspoken confessions of love.


There is a sense of regret and longing throughout the song. The chorus repeats the lines "And maybe someday we will be, away with the wind we'll go, by the sea we'll float," invoking a feeling of escape and the desire to move on from something. The midpoint of the song has a point where the singer pleads "I'll say please, please, don't tear your heart from me" to their lover, which depicts an almost hopeless state of trying to hold onto something they deeply care about.


Overall, the song conveys a poignant narrative of lost love and a longing to reconnect. It showcases the complexities of human relationships that often go unsaid and the pain that they leave behind.

One of the best sound of the 90s, we really miss it.. I still have the original cd!

Roger Howard

In my opinion...as a 'soul-dance track of the 1990's, this track is just one of the very best of the whole 1990's period.
The singer and the singer's way of vocal expression with the song's lyrics capture the joyfulness and exuberance of life itself. That is why this track is so moving to listen to.
I write about music, and I must say... this track is one of those tracks that does literally move me to tears when I listen to it.
