Open Your Eyes
Blue Stone Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

When the lights go out
I feel my soul come out
To play again

I've been scared of the dark
Just as scared of the light
At shapes make sense
Taste the bitter sweet
Smell the sweet perfurm
See the blue issue

You find it if you want
You find it if you try
Close your eyes
When the lights go out
When the lights go out

I see the shadows cross
along
Thought it was you
Who touch my face in the night
Made me feel it was right
To play along
You're too scared to arise
Afraid to open your eyes
With all you've seen

Won't you understand
Grab a hold in my hand
When the lights go out

Open up your eyes
Am I start to believe
Darkness is not what it seems
Am I start to believe?


You won't feel alone
Stand and make your presence known
Kiss now your fear




You're captured here
Turning night into day

Overall Meaning

The lyrics to Blue Stone's song Open Your Eyes seem to be about facing one's fears and exploring the worlds beyond what we can see. When the lights go out, the singer's soul comes out to play again, indicating a sense of freedom and possibly even a spiritual feeling. However, the singer has been scared of not just the darkness, but also the light. The line "At shapes make sense" could suggest that the singer is struggling to make sense of what they perceive in the world around them. The next few lines use sensory language to describe experiencing both bitter and sweet, smelling a sweet perfume, and seeing something blue. These lines could be interpreted as the singer's journey toward experiencing the full spectrum of emotions and sensations, not just the pleasant ones.


The second half of the song addresses another character who seems to be struggling with their own fears - "You're too scared to arise / Afraid to open your eyes / With all you've seen." The singer urges this person to take their hand and "make [their] presence known" when the lights go out. The last few lines suggest that by facing fears and exploring the unknown, one can turn darkness into light and find a sense of belonging or capture. Ultimately, the song portrays the idea that the unknown can be intimidating, but it is important to challenge ourselves to face it to experience the depths of life.

The title is "Open Your Eyes," by Blue Stone. Lyrics below:

Open Your Eyes

When the lights go out

I feel my soul come out

To play again



I've been scared of the dark

Just as scared of the light

Odd shapes make sense



Taste the bittersweet

Smell the sweet perfume

See the bluish hue



You'll find it if you want

You'll find it if you try

Close your eyes

When the lights go out

When the lights go out



I see the shadows cross

Along a moonlit room

Thought it was you

Who touched my face in the night

Made me feel it was right

To play along

You're too scared to arise

Afraid to open your eyes

With all you've seen



Won't you understand

Grab a hold of my hand

When the lights go out

When the lights go out



Open up your eyes

Might start to believe

The dark is not what it seems

Might start to believe



Ignite your home

You won't feel alone

Stand and make your presence known

Kiss now your fear

You're captured here

Turning night into day



When the lights go out

I feel my soul come out

To play again



I've been scared of the dark

Just as scared of the light

Odd shapes make sense



Taste the bittersweet

Smell the sweet perfume

See the bluish hue



You'll find it if you want

You'll find it if you try

Close your eyes

When the lights go out



Open up your eyes

Might start to believe

The dark is not what it seems

Might start to believe



Ignite your home

You won't feel alone

Stand and make your presence known

Kiss now your fear

You're captured here

Turning night into day



I see the shadows cross

Along a moonlit room

Thought it was you

Who touched my face in the night

Made me feel it was right

To play along

You're too scared to arise

Afraid to open your eyes

With all you've seen



Won't you understand

Grab a hold of my hand

When the lights go out



Ignite your home

You won't feel alone

Stand and make your presence known

Kiss now your fear

You're captured here

Turning night into day



Ignite your home (Open up your eyes)

You won't feel alone

Stand and make your presence known (Might start to believe)

Kiss now your fear (The dark is not what it seems)

You're captured here

Turning night into day. (Might start to believe)



Ignite your home (Open up your eyes)

You won't feel alone

Stand and make your presence known (Might start to believe).

Honestly, I think of this as the "true" opening song for Messages. It's where the energy of the album really begins. Midnight Tides, while a fine song, is really just there to ease you into this song.
